Comments from the County Supervisors as many residents are stuck outside the chambers.
Lisa Bartlett – "deepest apologies to citizens of Irvine, Laguna Niguel and HB." "Nothing has happened, no homeless moved to these cities"
Todd Spitzer – "the nation is watching us…we commit to you we will do things differently."
"If we rush our decisions, we will make bad decisions" “there needs to be equal distribution among cities and not one city's burden” says Spitzer.
Mayor Don Wagner says, “the proposed Irvine site is not a site you would put human beings on."
Mayor Wagner tells the board, listing chemical contamination and lack of water, electricity, sidewalks and other infrastructure, as well as lack of access to homeless services and jobs.
"It's a quarter mile to homes and across the street from a park." Wagner added. The mayor also cited the city's commitment to funding low income housing and the presence of many nonprofits dedicated to the underserved headquartered in the city.
