DESCRIPTION:BATHROOM BARRICADE LAST WEEK BY BUREAUCRAT BADGIRLS\nThe City Council 
 bathrooms are regularly closed and locked during Freedom SleepOut's 
 (perhaps to enable to the City to yowl about "urine and feces" being left 
 outside?)>   But last week, Freedom Sleepers last week reported even during 
 regular business hours, Assistant administrator Bonnie Bush refused to open 
 the bathrooms, even for a disabled patron, who then relieved himself on a 
 wall.  Bring your own catheter or colostomy bag.\n\nMISSION ST. LOCKOUT OF 
 UNHOUSED PATRONS\nJulie Shaul and other report what may be an organized 
 crackdown on homeless folks trying to use the laundromat to clean and dry 
 rain-soaked clothing and bedding.  Safeway and nearby shops have reportedly 
 removed or walled off outdoor seating.   Other businesses such as 
 MacDonald's are becoming vehemently abusive towards "loitering" customers.  
 \n\nHOMELESS (LACK OF) SERVICES CENTER STRIKES AGAIN!\nPOVERTY PIMPS DENY 
 HOMELESS WOMAN HER MAIL AFTER SHE WALKED OUT WITH A GRANOLA BAR\nFood Not 
 Bombs activist Kim Argula reported being refused access to her mail after 
 she picked up a bar and a bag of chips from a table which looked open to 
 homeless folks.  "Denise", the sharp-tongued poverty pimpstress who 
 confronted her, then "banned" her and called the police even as Kim walked 
 away.  Mercifully, the officer responding declined to handcuff the hungry 
 mail seeker and haul her away.  \n\n"Bucks for Bums" Boss Phil Kramer 
 subsequently allowed Kim mail access to mail--provided she stood on the 
 sidewalk across the street from the famed "Homeless Services Center". 
 \n\nHomeless folks are now banned from parking their cars on Coral, Fern, 
 and Limekiln streets with 24-hour Permit-required signs posted along all 
 three.  \n\nThe Homeless (Lack of) Service Center [HLOSC] has excluded all 
 but a fraction of the homeless community from its breakfast and dinner 
 meals in spite of a $3 million budget and much donated food.  The massive 
 cutback in HLOSC services prompted the first Freedom SleepOut on July 4, 
 2015.\n\nGET THE BAD NEWS DIRECTLY FROM COUNCILMAN CHRIS\n9 AM-10 AM:  
 Councilmember Chris Krohn has a pre-Council huddle with members of the 
 public at the Cafe Pergolesi 418 Cedar St.  \n\nNO RELIEF FOR 
 TENANTS\nSometime after 2 PM:  Tenant activists have asked those supporting 
 renter protection and rent control to come to the afternoon session to 
 speak on Item #17, which grants $10,000 to gab about "affordable housing" 
 without any mention of key renter concerns or inclusion of renters as a 
 primary participatory group.\n\nA BRIEF CHANCE TO SPEAK IF YOU DON'T MIND 
 WAITING 3 1/2 HOURS\nOral Communications:  End of the Council's afternoon 
 agenda (historically 5 PM, but now at a time uncertain--perhaps to 
 discourage speakers who have to wait through the whole afternoon not to 
 miss it?).  The period when the Mayor cuts you off after 2 minutes of 
 struggling to make the community aware of issues NOT on the 
 agenda.\n\nRESOLUTIONS AND RABBLTY-BABBLE, BUT NO DOCUMENTS & NO 
 ACCOUNTABILITY\n7 PM:  City staff returns, after twice delaying a 
 resolution and ordinance banning SCPD collusion with DHS/ICE raids against 
 undocumented immigrants.   \n\nThe agenda packet includes no documentation 
 of the actual communications between the SCPD and the DHS/ICE.    Vogel of 
 the SCPD says one thing and Schwab of the DHS says another (See 
 http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/social-affairs/20170223/feds-santa-cruz-police-trade-jabs-after-february-gang-busts) 
   \n\nBring your blankets and sleeping bags into the chambers to see if 
 either the SCPD-subservient Council or their "liberal" critics will 
 physically support Sanctuary for and stop busting Santa Cruz's homeless 
 population--documented or undocumented.   That's what the Freedom Sleepers 
 are all about.\n\nSLAMMING THE BOOK CLOSED ON SCPD'S ARLT KILLING\nMissing 
 from the agenda is any follow-up to Vogel's closed-to-alternative-media 
 press conference 2-16 exonerating Officer Eric Bailey for the slaying of 
 Sean Arlt last October.  \n\nThe D.A.'s report and the witness's accounts 
 have not been released.  \n\nThere has been no indication of any change in 
 SCPD's "shoot to kill" policy nor have other questions raised by the 
 household that called the SCPD to restrain Arlt.

 BACK ON TALKABOUT TALK SHOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT\nBroadcaster John Malkin will 
 be interviewing witnesses and relatives in the law enforcement killings of 
 Sean Arlt and Luke Smith  on KZSC (88.1 FM) at 7 PM Wednesday 3-1.  Call in 
 at 459-4036.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/02/27/18796875.php

 mid-morning Wednesday.  Come early Tuesday afternoon if you want to raise 
 your voice at City Council.   Bring video, warm bedding, and good humor to
