g. I therefor ask that the Council authorize and direct Ms. Diaz and OPC to extend <br />the current eviction timing for remaining Docktown residents until June 30, 2018, <br />rather than the current February 28, 2018. <br />4. Review of OPC Update Report to Council. <br />a. At the January Council meeting, Council (I believe Council Member Borgens) <br />asked that Ms. Diaz request a written report from OPC for Council's next meeting. <br />I understand that report was to include information about assistance offered on <br />relocation, the Municipal Marina and other opportunities, and what was offered to <br />low-income residents like myself, in addition to other matters. Council had also <br />expressed a desire to include metrics and clear accountability in the OPC contract <br />going forward. <br />b. Having lived in this Docktown situation for over a year now, and talked with City <br />officials, OPC representatives and neighbors at Docktown, I think it is important <br />that Docktown residents and the general public be given the opportunity to review <br />and comment on any such OPC report. <br />c. I do understand that this is a difficult situation, and there may be no bad intent by <br />anyone. However, it is clear to me that Council is not being told some of the real <br />facts of what is actually occurring at Docktown and what OPC is doing with <br />residents. I am not talking about opening this up for "opinions" or "emotions," <br />but rather to real facts of what is occurring. <br />d. My guess is that what Council actually intended by the Docktown Plan and <br />wanted for the Docktown community is not happening, and there is <br />miscommunication, misunderstanding or other factors getting in the way. <br />e. Therefore, I ask that Council permit the public (including Docktown residents <br />such as myself) to review the report from OPC which was requested by Council at <br />the January 8 meeting, and to provide comments highlighting factual inaccuracies <br />back to Council. <br />Thank you very much for your consideration and patience in reading this and listening to my <br />comments. I appreciate the difficult job Council has in this matter, and your willingness to bring <br />understanding and kindness to help resolve it. <br />Sincerely, $ <br />NwaPeschck, Koedt�� <br />
