Dear City Council from Brenda RoskosJudi Funk From: Brenda Roskos <brenda.roskos@yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2024 11:00 PM To: Kalispell Meetings Public Comment Subject: EXTERNAL Dear City Council City Council Members, It is with grave concern that I submit to you the following articles The articles contained within this email are composed of 1 st hand interviews with the homeless and assaults made on citizens by the homeless, crime, littering, an overdose of fentanyl and fentanyl usage within the FWC, and more. There are articles of crimes committed by the homeless population on the East side of Kalispell as well as many Warming Center inhabitants who gravitate to that side of town during the daytime (often to hang out in the library etc.) There is also a report that shares the lack of financial accountability by the Flathead Warming Center I have personal and extensive experience having dealt with the homeless as I assisted A Ray of Hope for 8 years. I alsc housed, fed, and cared for homeless sick women and children for many years in my own home, and have dealt for years with several extended family members steeped in heavy drug addiction and guided them through the process of sobriety until they were clean. Therefore I am respectfully submitting to you for your perusal and study multiple articles and am asking that you pull the Conditional Use Permit concerning, the Flathead Warming Center due to a lack of accountability, danger, harm, and more. Mark my words if this atrocious activity continues it will just be a matter of time before we will find a child raped and killed or a nearby coffee shop worker. I have 7 children and 13 grandchildren and have lived in this county for most of 50 years and I refuse to stand idly by and witness this wicked behavior. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. James A.
