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
