What this means

Council action restores funding for the Mobile Hygiene Centers so contracted hygiene services (like mobile showers and related supports) can continue while staff identifies funds and potential cost savings. The council also adopted a Port tariff change to add emissions control charges; this is intended to address port-related pollution and may affect shipping costs once approved by the Mayor. Finally, the Council approved selling the city parcel at 3100 West Jefferson to a local senior club, which could enable senior services at that site.
