Introduced by Board Chair Kathryn Barger, Tuesday’s motion directs the executive director of the county’s Homeless Initiative to report back to the board in 30 days with a review of the incident.
The board also asked for a report by the Department of Aging and Disabilities with recommendations for emergency preparedness for older adult populations.
“Many residents of the Mirador Apartments were left to navigate a dangerous situation on their own, despite being among the most medically and physically vulnerable in our communities,” Barger said in a statement.
“My motion seeks accountability and concrete improvements to ensure safety isn’t compromised in future emergencies.”
The motion also directs the county departments to explore improvements to emergency preparedness protocols and accountability measures for supportive housing providers.
