CITY CLERKâS OFFICE - MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Denise Anderson-Warren, City Clerk, Records & Elections Services
Department
Date: September 11, 2018
13.B Request of Mayor Winterer and Mayor Pro Tem Davis that the Council
allocate $20,000 of its discretionary funds to the Salvation Army to make
infrastructure improvements that will allow the Salvation Army facility on
Fourth Street to host the feeding program sponsored by Food Not Bombs
in an indoor environment (rather than on the Third Street Promenade). The
Salvation Army is doing a wide range of capital improvements to its facility
and this $20,000 will support changes that relate specifically to
infrastructure necessary to host meals for homeless persons at the Fourth
Street facility. Each week, a staff member from The Salvation Army and a
representative from West Coast Care will be available to meet with
homeless individuals to learn their stories, discuss their short and long-
term goals, and work towards sustainable housing solutions. Downtown
Santa Monica Ambassadors will provide weekly custodial support to ease
the burden on the Salvation Army staff.
