DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday, January 23, the Santa Cruz City Council will during its main 
 agenda debate whether or not to declare a homeless shelter crisis within 
 the city.\n\nFrom the council's agenda report:\n\nCalifornia Government 
 Code Sections 8698-8698.2 allow for the legislative body of a city to 
 formally declare a shelter crisis within the city when a situation exists 
 “where a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain 
 shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.” Declaring a 
 Homeless Shelter Crisis enables the city to suspend any state or local 
 regulatory statute, regulation, or ordinance prescribing standards of 
 housing, health, or safety to the extent that strict compliance “would in 
 any way prevent, hinder, or delay mitigation of the effects of the shelter 
 crisis.” The declaration enables the city to enact alternative health and 
 safety standards to be operative during the shelter crisis, consistent with 
 ensuring minimal public health and safety. The declaration also grants 
 immunity from liability for ordinary negligence in the provision of 
 emergency shelter. \n\nThe issue will be heard by the city council some 
 time after 1 pm on Tuesday, January 23 in council chambers.\n\nSupporting
