    In 2009, the nonprofit Isaiah Project and the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties sued the city and the Downtown San Diego Partnership, claiming workers had unlawfully seized and discarded the property of dozens of homeless San Diegans during clean-up operations. They also accused the city and the partnership of not providing proper notice of those operations. The city later reached a settlement deal that required it to provide at least three days’ notice and set up a city-run storage facility where unattended property can be held after clean-ups. The clean-ups have continued with more stringent requirements that city workers set property aside for safekeeping and post the green signs to warn that they’re coming. Now, amid increased homeless camp sweeps downtown and tales of homeless folks losing their belongings, an attorney is questioning whether the city's complying with the settlement.

City of San Diego U.S. District Court Case No: 2009 CV 2699 BTM (WVG) Dear Madam City Attorney: Tam counsel for the plaintiffs in the above-referenced case, As you may know, we resolved the case by way of a settlement (and subsequent Court order, copy attached) that require, among several things, that the police collect, document, and retain personal property confiscated from homeless people for a period of time sufficient to allow it to be reclaimed, Over the past nine months, the City and its Police Department have been issuing an increasing number of “encroachment” citations to homeless people in the East Village area. Based upon videos [I’ve seen of this activity, and on complaints I’ve received from people living in the East Village area of San Diego, it appears that the City is throwing citizens’ personal property, including tents, tarps and contents contained in and covered thereby, into ‘rash trucks, rather than collecting, assessing, documenting, and maintaining it for retrieval. Such actions violate the settlement and Court order in the Isaiah Project case, As you know, the settlement and parties in this case are under the continuing monitoring jurisdiction of Magistrate Judge William Gallo, who has invited us to schedule a conference with him whenever we believe issues have arisen regarding the performance under, or breach of, the that settlement agreement. Before I formally request such a hearing, however, I would like the opportunity to sit down with you to discuss thi Please let me know whether, and if so, when, you would my cell - 619-890-0142 - anytime. ¢ to meet, You may call Very truly yours, SA Robert Scott Dreher es For DREHER LAW FIRM Ce: Hon, Wiliam Gallo, Mepis Judge David Loy, Esq, ACLU (Co-ounse for Paintif®) “Mero Marme, Faq, Dents US (Aty for DSDP)
