11:12 pm
our trails and keep our river clean. keep our city economically vibrant. if we're just kind of chasing the encampments around the city, the memo would direct the city manager to implement a no return zone that prevents encampments along the guadalupe river trail. we can then go to large neighboring encampments and say, we're sorry, this is an area where you can't camp. it's not safe for you. it's not okay for the broader community or the environment. we're going to require that you come indoors. but here's a place you can go in san mateo county, the board of supervisors will be considering an ordinance on tuesday that promotes shelter and penalizes illegal encampments. >> the ordinance states. if a person is occupying an encampment on public property, they can be charged with a misdemeanor after receiving at least two written warnings and two offers of shelter that are declined. elizabeth funk is the ceo of dignity moves, a company that builds interim supportive housing communities. >> i think the media likes to
