I'll take a look at it.
Thank you.
Okay, let's see if there's any.
Is there anyone in the virtual audience?
Chair, we have...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Excuse me, Katina.
Chair, we have James Soraki in the audience.
And I will allow him to speak.
Hi, could you state your name, please, and spell for the court stenographer?
Is he unmuted?
Let me see.
I don't see him anymore, Chair.
Is there anyone in the virtual audience has comments?
Yes, there's James Soraki again.
Sir, could you state your name and spell for the court stenographer?
James Siraki. It's J-A-M-E-S-S-I-E-R-A-C-K-I.
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Yes, I do.
Are you a neighbor?
Yes, I am.
Please proceed.
I've lived next to the shelter for the past five years, and I am against this expansion, and my reasoning is I believe they lack the necessary staff to manage their current operations, so an expansion would just have a more negative impact on the Brewery Town neighborhood.
I've lived next to the shelter for the past five years.
um there's they already lack the staff to manage the amount of trash that their occupants
uh throw on new kirk street and the surrounding streets
um and they also lack the staff to manage some of their more mentally unstable and
violent occupants um and an example of this was two nights ago i i guess an occupant or
former occupant used a big wooden board to break one of their windows
um and this is not a lone case in the last five years but um so i i'm against the expansion and
okay mr bouvet do you have any questions about that yeah i'm i'm just curious
you said you've been there five years correct yes that is correct and you say that the the
there was an occupant or a former occupant?
Oh, I mean, yes, that's just the most recent...
How do you know they were an occupant?
I said it were...
I don't have actual proof that they were an occupant.
And then when you say the lack of staff,
do you know how many staff are...
are with or employed there now uh no but i mean i i've on okay webpages have you ever met the
any of the staff yes i have talked to the director um janine uh and i have
talked to some of their maintenance staff in the past okay
and and what was their response
to these issues? I did not discuss
these issues when I talked to them. Okay. No further questions. Thank you,
Mr. Chairman. Anyone else in the virtual audience? Thank you for calling us, sir.
Anyone else in the virtual audience? Yes, Chair Doris Aldridge, and I will allow her to speak.
hi could you state your name please and spell for the court stenographer
yes my name is Doris Aldridge d-o-r-i-s last name a-l-d-r-i-d-g-e
hold on you swear affirm to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth
