Flojaune Cofer during a forum last week said she’d propose an item to place sanctioned homeless encampments called Safe Grounds in underutilized city parks.
Unlike privately-owned lots, like the one on Stockton Boulevard she proposed in a Jan. 31 forum, the city already owns the parks. Many also have electricity and water hookups so people can shower, use bathrooms, do laundry and charge cellphones, she said.
