A proposal to halt homeless encampment sweeps during emergencies has been delayed. Elected leaders decided more discussion is needed before agreeing to the plan. The plan would affect sweeps in areas hit by environmental disasters. An amendment was introduced, changing the proposal's language. Instead of making immediate changes, the amendment instructs a city bureau to report back on options.

Further details about the proposal and amendment are available. The city's response to homeless encampments during emergencies remains under consideration.

The delay means a decision on the plan will be made at a later time.
