Fixing the Mace mess, creating a sanctioned camping site for the homeless and shoring up the city’s Housing Trust Fund are among the priorities the City Council on Tuesday directed staff to focus on over the next six months.
Those items are in addition to the city’s efforts to reimagine public safety by moving some duties out of the Davis Police Department as well as working with the county to create a Crisis Now model to respond to individuals in the midst of mental health or other crises. Two council subcommittees have been focused specifically on those efforts for several months and will continue to do so, city staff said.
