Council responses

City Council members who attended last week’s briefing had a number of questions about what to do next.

“Where would money for the implementation come from?” council Vice President Pat Boy asked.

Without knowing what direction the city should head on this issue, it’s difficult to know the cost, council President Don Przybylinski said, who is a member of the lead committee.

“It can’t be corrected overnight,” he said.

One of the more costly ideas would be to relocate families, offering the initial month’s rent and security deposit that can be barriers for low-income families who might want to move affected children to a lead-safe home, Kuss said.

Carnes asked who would administer the program. Przybylinski said he wants to make sure that department has adequate staffing to make sure progress is made.

Kuss said the lead committee would want to see quarterly updates to make sure this is a proposal that results in action instead of gathering dust.

The council will address the proposal at a future meeting.
