Those were the highlights at a high-profile City Council meeting held remotely Monday night.

Homelessness
The issue of what to do about camping on city land was resurrected by Ward 2 Councilor Charles Maughan, whose motion to stop the cleanups was tabled (postponed) at the July 6 meeting because the matter was not on the agenda.
After a lengthy discussion, including four pieces of oral testimony from residents, councilors voted 6-2 to continue to post the camps. Ward 5 Councilor Charlyn Ellis was the lone councilor to vote with Maughan, although several councilors said they were torn by the matter and praised Maughan for bringing it forward.
