Committee members also discussed a requested amendment to the city’s 2023 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding to de-obligate Turning Point’s contract and reallocate those funds to Temporary Emergency Services; committee discussion recorded the request and a motion and second but did not include a recorded final vote on that item in the transcript.
