The Norman City Council approved $100,000 to develop a strategic plan to address homelessness Tuesday night, but not without questions and concerns from some councilors.
The contract for the strategic plan was placed on the consent docket, but was removed for discussion. Ward 6 Elizabeth Foreman wanted to know why the city was being asked to pursue the study when one had been done previously.
âAbout two years ago we did another study for this and awarded it to a Jill Spangler,â Foreman said. âThere was a study, there were monthsâ worth of focus groups and all that, and then nothing came of that.â
The Norman City Council approved a $100,000 contract to develop a strategic plan against homelessness, a plan for the rebuilding of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house and an allocation of $140,000 to clean up remaining debris from the October ice storm during a Tuesday meeting.Â
The strategic plan on homelessness follows the failed General Obligation Norman 2020 bond package, which included a proposition to devote $5 million toward constructing one or more built solutions assisting individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Michelle Evans, Normanâs homeless program coordinator, said the failed bond sparked conversation on the need to allow outside parties to assess the cityâs homelessness programs before allocating substantial capital funding.
Richard (Dick) Foreman died at his beloved airplane hanger/ beach home in Pacific City, Ore., in the early morning of Nov. 19, 2020. He served his country as a 20 year U.S. Army Veteran and lived a life of adventures. Dick celebrated his 90-year-old birthday earlier in the year and loved his large family.
Born in 1930 in Portland, Ore., Dick lived much of his early life in Gresham, Ore. A bit of a rascal, he had fond early memories of daring the shortcut walk on the railroad trestles to get to school, being a youth âwartime messengerâ in âblacked outâ Gresham during WWII, fishing in Johnson Creek, and hitchhiking to Mt. Hood to go skiing. At age 6 he received a Charles Lindbergh âpiggy bankâ from the local savings and loan, inspiring his lifelong love of aviation which he pursued after joining the U.S. Army at age 16 in 1947.
