Free Radio Flashback Today on Bathrobespierre’s Broadsides 5:45 PM or so: Winter 1998
Yet another back show from the archives–this one with extensive discussion of the high hopes for abolition of the Sleeping Ban in the Winter of 1998 after a “progressive” majority gained power–Councilmembers Beiers, Krohn, Sugar, and Fitzmaurice–who sadly disappointed us days later and throughout their 4 year term. However activism was at a high pitch and the discussion and phone calls are interesting. It’s archived at http://huffsantacruz.org/
Good news: I’ve downloaded Audacity and now simply need to secure some equipment and training to return to contemporary interviews and commentary!

Santa Cruz Camping Ticket Dismissal Info: Spread It Around
The City’s camping ordinance MC 6.36 was amended in 2010 after successful protests by PeaceCamp 2010 to require dismissal of all MC 6.36 citations if one was on one of two Waiting Lists–the Paul Lee Loft or the River St. Shelter [or if the Winter Armory is full] Though both agencies refused to give those signed up evidence to show to the police that they were on these lists, the City Attorney’s office did dismiss some if not all citations for those who were on the Waiting Lists. The River St. Shelter is the only “emergency shelter” currently operating in the City of Santa Cruz. Paul Lee Loft still closed except to those taken into the program with a “path to housing” as part of what appears to be an intentional decision to “disinvite” homeless people not in programs likely to get state or federal programming. This has resulted in a cut-off of laundry, shelter, socializing, bathroom, and meal services to the majority of homeless people in Santa Cruz. The one “service” remaining is dismissal of camping citations.
AVOID CAMPING TICKETS: CALL 459-6644 (24-Hour Number)
THIS IS THE RIVER ST. SHELTER’S NUMBER–ASK TO BE PUT ON THEIR WAITING LIST
LEAVE YOUR NAME (SAY IT AND SPELL IT) OVER THE PHONE
IF YOU HAVE A PHONE NUMBER, ASK THEM TO CALL YOU BACK TO CONFIRM YOU ARE ON THE LIST
THIS SHOULD NULLIFY FUTURE MC 6.36 TICKETS ONLY NOT OTHER TICKETS OR EARLIER TICKETS
YOU MUST CALL BACK EVERY THREE DAYS TO KEEP YOURSELF ON THE WAITING LIST
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THEIR SHELTER; JUST GET ON THEIR LIST
COPS MAY TICKET YOU ANYWAY—BUT THOSE TICKETS MUST BE DISMISSED IF YOU’RE ON THE LIST
IF TICKETED WHILE NOT ON THE WAITING LIST, CALL 423-HUFF FOR ADVICE

On the plus side, River St. Shelter now allows folks to sign up for their Waiting List by telephone on a 24-hour answering machine (though the machine says their “office hours” are 2 PM to 8 AM, so it may be best to call during those times). You give to the machine your name and ask to be placed on the Waiting List. You can also ask for a call-back for confirmation.
Freedom Sleepers tested the process on Friday and found they got a callback when they called to get an unhoused person on the list. It’s not clear when they actually pick up the phones there. I say it’s “24-hours” because we actually called them outside their peculiar 2 PM to 8 AM hours (around noon) and got a call-back confirmation for the person we put on the list.
I was also told that at an earlier point that you must call back every three days to keep your name on the list.
On the negative side, it’s hard to physically access the River St. Shelter with the new prison-like gate, guards, and ID cards. The management there advised us by phone last week that they still won’t write letters documenting that their shelter is full on any particular night, even if it is. This does not serve the many–which includes those who just got into town, who doesn’t want to take up space which more disabled or vulnerable folks might need, or who simply believe in providing their own shelter (whether that be the stars, a tent, or a vehicle). In the past such a letter (usually from the Homeless (Lack of) Services Center’s Paul Lee Loft was sufficient “evidence” for Commissioner Kim Baskett of Dept. 10 to dismiss MC 6.36 citations.
If you find yourself one of the hundreds who get camping tickets every month in town, contact HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) for info on how to subpoena the records of the River St. Shelter into court to document that there was no legal shelter and so invoke what’s called “the necessity defense”. Our phone number is 831-423-4833. It’s not a cell phone so leave a message and/or come to our weekly meeting at 11 AM Wednesdays at the Sub Rosa Cafe, or check us out at Freedom Sleeper Tuesday nights at City Hall where we challenge the Sleeping Ban.
It’s best to get on the Waiting List even if you have no intention of using the River St. Shelter, feel you are likely to be ineligible for any reason (pets, partner, too much stuff, etc.),or whatever. Because simply being on the list means that MC 6.36.055 requires the City Attorney to dismiss your citation (if it’s a MC 6.36 citation).
For your own use, I include a flier to download and use or pass on to those who might find it useful.
