emeritrix<p>Downtown Clean &amp; Safe Expansion and Renewal</p><p>City Council hearing<br>Portland City Council is holding a hearing on the Downtown Portland Clean &amp; Safe ESD Expansion Petition on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 2:45 p.m.</p><p>Background<br>Three years ago, the Portland community mobilized against renewing the Downtown Clean &amp; Safe Enhanced Services District (ESD) contract. A 2020 City Auditor’s report found that ESDs in Portland had virtually no oversight or accountability while overpolicing communities. The Clean &amp; Safe ESD in particular was funding Portland police officers and hiring armed private security guards to patrol public streets, all while subsidizing the salaries of Portland Business Alliance executives.</p><p>Thanks to community pressure, in 2021 City Council reduced Clean &amp; Safe’s contract term from 10 years to five. But despite overwhelming pushback, City Council still approved the five-year contract. Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, the only commissioner to vote no, said, “The city failed the community today.”</p><p>Since then, the City finally began responding to the 2020 audit. They hired a Seattle-based firm, Uncommon Bridges (formerly BDS Planning), to write a report recommending “best practices” related to ESDs. Portland community members opposed several of these recommendations (such as forcing residents like condo owners to pay ESD fees) at public feedback sessions and in written testimony. However, many of these objections were ignored.</p><p>Now, two years before the contract expires and mere months before the new City Council takes office, Clean &amp; Safe is trying to fast-track a new, expanded contract. In August Clean &amp; Safe filed a petition to expand its boundaries, revise the fee rate structure, implement residential rate caps, renew the ESD for another 10 years, and set up a new five-year contract. Their petition addresses minimal recommendations from Uncommon Bridges, like rate caps, while ignoring calls for greater oversight and transparency.<br>If approved by City Council, these items would go into effect on October 1, 2025.</p><p>Tell City Council what you think!</p><p>Don’t let PBA rush this contract through City Council! Submit testimony today. <br>The link to register to testify orally, or to submit written testimony, is posted in the agenda for the City Council hearing by 9 a.m. the Friday before the hearing.<br> </p><p>Agenda Items<br>Thursday, October 31st - 2pm<br>951<br>Amend District Property Management License Code to update fees and district boundary to extend Downtown Portland Clean and Safe Enhanced Services District Property Management License Fee for an additional ten years and to align with amended City Charter approved by voters in Portland Measure 26-228 (replace Code Chapter 6.06) (Ordinance)</p><p>952<br>Authorize Agreement for District Management Services of the Downtown Portland Clean &amp; Safe Enhanced Services District by Clean &amp; Safe, Inc. for an estimated amount of $58 million over five years (Ordinance)</p><p>TALKING POINTS<br>City Council should table this petition until the current Clean &amp; Safe contract expires in 2026. </p><p>Given existing concerns about Clean &amp; Safe’s governance and transparency, the City should not renew its contract in this rushed manner. </p><p>The petition ignores key community concerns about Clean &amp; Safe, namely lack of transparency and governance. This petition does not introduce any requirements about transparency in governance or operations, as recommended by Uncommon Bridges/BDS Planning in their report to City Council. </p><p>Since taxpayer money goes into the ESD, the public should be able to provide feedback like any ratepayer. Public entities already pay into the ESD, and new public entities like Oregon State University fall within the proposed expanded boundaries. However, Clean &amp; Safe continues to shut the public out of its planning process.</p><p>The rate increase violates the moratorium on new taxes and fees proposed by Gov. Kotek and the Central City Task Force. The moratorium as recommended is supposed to extend through 2026 at a minimum, while the proposed new contract will take effect in 2025.</p><p>The rate increase would solidify a double standard in matters of City-level revenue generation and distribution. According to this double standard, increasing taxes to fund public services is problematic and to be avoided (“A persistent complaint of late from businesses and leaders like [Mayor Ted] Wheeler is that Portland is one of the highest-taxed cities in the country,” OPB) while increasing rates to fund the ESD’s private services is unproblematic and to be encouraged. The proposed rate increase reveals that the true nature of leaders’ complaints about taxes is not about the tax burden, but about whether private organizations receive and control disbursal of collected revenues.</p><p>The ESD should not fund significant portions of Portland Business Alliance salaries. The petition does nothing to reduce how much ratepayers contribute to PBA salaries. It is inefficient and inappropriate to use public resources to subsidize the salaries of business lobbyists.</p><p>The 5-year term of the proposed contract will fully bypass the first terms of incoming City Council members. New representatives will not be able to evaluate and alter the program within their terms; further, representatives elected to District 4, which overlaps the ESD’s service area, will face two elections prior to the new contract expires. Adopting the contract with its proposed 5-year term would be an affront to voters at the very moment they are choosing their new representatives.</p><p>The proposed contract will partially subsidize the activities of the Portland Business Alliance and empower the PBA to continue its efforts to shape local policymaking and elections through the full first terms of incoming electeds. The PBA is not only the City’s most prolific political lobbying organization; the PBA also directs a political action committee actively working to shape electoral outcomes in favor of its own interests, without the limits imposed on candidates under the Small Donor Elections Program. By approving the proposed contract, the outgoing City Council will be partially subsidizing and tacitly authorizing PBA’s continued political activity and influence operations throughout the 2026, 2028, and 2030 City Council elections.</p><p>Portland Business Alliance sued and bankrolled a campaign to block charter reform. They should not be allowed to circumvent the new City Council by pushing an early renewal.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandOregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandOregon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDX</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopTheSweeps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheSweeps</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingNotHandcuffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HousingNotHandcuffs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CareNotCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CareNotCops</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.portland.gov/auditor/council-clerk/events/2024/10/31/city-council-meeting-afternoon-session" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">portland.gov/auditor/council-c</span><span class="invisible">lerk/events/2024/10/31/city-council-meeting-afternoon-session</span></a></p>
Rachael Ludwick<p>While I was in SODO and Georgetown today I noticed they put up brand new 4 hour parking limit signs. These presumably are there not because demand for street parking warrants a 4 hour limit but because it provides a pretext to make people living in vehicles move without notice or offer of shelter. <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/StopTheSweeps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheSweeps</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seattle</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/HarrellHorrorShow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HarrellHorrorShow</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/Housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Housing</span></a></p>

Rachael Ludwick<p>On Thursday partner helped out at a sweep in SODO. The police there to make sure all people, belongings and vehicles moved ... except for illegally parked cars presumably owned by housed people rather than unhoused ones. Those didn't have to move.</p><p>The same location a couple days later has folks setting up tailgate parties in the no parking zone the fact of which has been used repeatedly to sweep people. <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/StopTheSweeps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheSweeps</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/HarrellHorrorShow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HarrellHorrorShow</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seattle</span></a></p>

The bulk of high profile state party democrats endorsed city attorney Ann Davison's election despite her previous advocacy for absolutely awful ideas on handling housing &amp; homelessness.

This decision gives the city legal cover to sweep folks with no offer of shelter or housing availability. <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/StopTheSweeps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheSweeps</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/HarrellHorrorShow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HarrellHorrorShow</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/@r343l/112694684936465054" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">freeradical.zone/@r343l/112694</span><span class="invisible">684936465054</span></a></p>
WarmUpBoston<p>Cruelty is the point: while the rest of Boston hunkers down in air conditioning, residents of the encampment are settling back in after another sweep early this week.</p><p>Residents were told by DCR that a sweep was impending on Tuesday, and we were prepared to assist with helping them Tuesday morning. However, on Monday morning, a volunteer spotted the sweep already in action a full day before the residents were told to expect and prepare for it.</p><p>We quickly mobilized and had a team of volunteers on site within an hour to help with the logistics and labor of moving. However, many belongings were still destroyed by DCR, and many residents have been awake for days on end, making them even more susceptible to this week’s heat emergency.</p><p>We’ve followed up each day since—some of the hottest this year—with aftercare for the residents, including ice, extra harm reduction supplies, extra water, breakfast sandwiches, PBJs, electrolyte tablets, liquid IV, and a birthday surprise for a resident. </p><p>Our focus is, as always, keeping our unhoused neighbors as safe and healthy as possible in a system designed to abuse them.</p><p>What’s the point of the sweeps, if not cruel punishment for the crime of being unhoused? As one resident put it: “They just don’t want us getting comfortable.”</p><p>With these punitive practices and inhumane treatment, DCR and the City of Boston make it clear that they do not see the unhoused as human beings, deserving of respect and compassion, rather they see them as an inconvenience to be swept aside at a moments notice.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SweepsAreViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SweepsAreViolence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckTheTentBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckTheTentBan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarmUpBoston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarmUpBoston</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SurvivalProgram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SurvivalProgram</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopTheSweeps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheSweeps</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ServeThePeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ServeThePeople</span></a></p>
