  35. 33 Councilmember Ann Williams said, I would like to know that if during the recent cold spell the Salvation Army reached their maximum capacity as far as housing people and where do we stand as far as what additional people might need to be housed during the cold spell if that is the case? Mayor Copenhaver said, that’s a great question and Tony, I think you can reference it, but I do not believe they reached their capacity yet. Is that correct, Tony? Chief Operating Officer Tony Thomas said, that is right. Councilmember Williams asked, how close are they to being at that point? Mr. Thomas said, I think what hear from the Salvation Army is that they have beds for about 50 individuals. And, even though, I think we saw an uptick in the number of clients that were there this time, it was no where near the 50 capacity that desire to stay overnight. They do serve that many when it comes to food and other amenities that they provided as a part of their care, but as far as the overnight shelter, I know, the first couple of nights of the original storm, we were between 7-10 individuals that stayed overnight. That included males and females. I don’t think we have capped those the last few nights, especially when it got really cold. I don’t think we capped around, we capped around 25 and that is not staying all night. But, people coming and going as they see fit. But, again, we are nowhere near that. We do have a contingency in place with one of our local churches that I have shared with you all before in the event that additional space is needed, but at this particular time, we have not had the demand for that additional space. Mayor Copenhaver said, thank you councilmember.
