Executive Summary This item presents a Resolution authorizing the formation of an Ad-Hoc City Council North County Homeless Action Plan Subcommittee (Subcommittee), as directed by the City Council on May 14, 2019. Discussion On May 14, 2019, the City Council received an informational staff report on the Homeless Response Plan and Homeless Outreach Team efforts. The City Council approved a Minute Motion directing staff to return with an agenda item to consider forming an ad-hoc Subcommittee to work with staff and the nonprofit Alliance for Regional Solutions to engage neighboring cities to determine whether there is regional support for participating in a collaborative effort to develop a North County Homeless Action Plan. The duties of the Subcommittee would include meeting with the community to hear concerns, working with staff and the nonprofit Alliance for Regional Solutions to engage neighboring cities to determine whether there is regional support for participating in a collaborative effort to develop a North County Homeless Action Plan, and bringing back information for City Council consideration. Should the Subcommittee determine that regional support exists, and that city participation in a regional effort is recommended, subsequent City Council action would be required to authorize and appoint city participation in a newly formed, Brown Act-compliant regional committee.
