Although there were no action items on the agenda devoted to the topic, homelessness remained the main topic for discussion at Monday nightâs Corvallis City Council meeting.
Simon Date, president and CEO of the Corvallis Chamber of Commerce, offered a presentation of some survey data his organization had collected on the impact on homelessness on downtown business.
And the community comments section of the meeting continued to be dominated by individuals aggressively speaking out on the homelessness issue, including several people who participated in a âcamp-inâ protest last Thursday at City Hall and Central Park.
Date submitted a 45-page survey that he an his staff had collected (see the full text online). And although councilors welcomed the involvement of the Chamber and its business members in the discussion of homelessness, several councilors took issue with how the survey was framed.
