<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Mayor Pro Tem Friend,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your questions and I write to provide an update regarding your request. I understand you are seeking additional information and clarity about the City’s interactions with Ms. Aldama. Staff would be happy to share what we
can about City encounters with Ms. Aldama in the months prior to her death. That would not include any information about the actual tragedy of her and her baby’s death. BPD has already released their September 9, 2021, report and is reviewing what, if any,
additional information they have including pertinent documentation and footage regarding those interactions. Other City departments have similarly been asked to verify what, if any, interactions they had with Ms. Aldama. We will be able to provide an update
on the City interactions later in January.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In light of recently released coroner’s reports, presumable conclusion of any criminal investigations, and revelation by a member of the press that Ms. Aldama received a tent/camping ticket a few weeks before
her death: I am writing to request that the City Manager provide an additional update to the City Council regarding the deaths of Ms. Aldama and her daughter. I am hoping to better understand what triggered the baby’s death, which by association also appears
to have led to Ms. Aldama’s death according to the coroner’s report; and am seeking a more thorough description of city staff encounters with Ms. Aldama (and any encampments she was associated with) in the months prior to her death. I understand that the county’s
contacts with Ms. Aldama may have separate medical / privacy concerns, so want to clarify that I am only asking for further information regarding city points of contact. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I recognize that these are sensitive and difficult issues to discuss, especially publicly. If Ms. Aldama’s family would prefer that some of the requested information be withheld from the public, I would ask
that the City Manager or City Attorney explain who qualifies as Ms. Aldama’s next of kin, the contours of information that has been requested to be withheld, and how requests for privacy in this type of situation dovetail with open records and government transparency
considerations. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
