Summary

A speaker identified as Gordon recommended the city study a storm shelter for mobile-home residents, said Hope Against Hunger had offered church space previously, and committed to collecting bedroom-count data to size a shelter.

At the July 6 zoning discussion, a participant identified as Gordon urged the city to consider a storm shelter for the mobile-home community. Gordon said Hope Against Hunger had previously reached out to the city about using a local church as a shelter and that he would "gather information on how many bedrooms are in every mobile home in Carbondale to determine the size of the shelter."

The minutes record this as a preliminary request and do not show a follow-up motion or funding allocation. Gordon’s statement initiates a fact-finding step—collecting bedroom counts—that the record lists as his responsibility; the council did not record a timeline or formal directive during the session.
