Escondido council makes homelessness subcommittee permanent; approves consent items 1–6
Summary
The City Council voted 5-0 to convert its ad hoc homelessness subcommittee into a standing subcommittee and approved consent calendar items 1–6; item 7 was continued to Feb. 19.
The Escondido City Council voted unanimously to convert its ad hoc subcommittee on homelessness into a standing subcommittee, formalizing a panel that council members said operated in ad hoc form for the first two years.
Mayor Dane White made the motion to convert the subcommittee; Council member Fitzgerald seconded. “For the first 2 years of the committee, it had been ad hoc. So we want to move it to a standing subcommittee,” White said before the vote. Voting was then opened and the motion passed 5–0.
Earlier in the meeting the council approved consent calendar items 1–6 without discussion. Mayor White moved to approve the items; an unnamed council member seconded and the vote was recorded as approved 5–0.
The council also noted that item 7 on the agenda was moved to the Feb. 19 meeting. No further detail about item 7 was provided at the meeting.
Council members offered brief subcommittee and community reports after the votes, including references to upcoming local events and volunteer cleanup efforts.
