A motion was made by WEGLEITNER, seconded by DOYLE, that the Resolution  
Requiring 2/3rds Vote be amended to insert "Dane County’s emergency shelter  
providers serving people experiencing homelessness are serving a historically  
high number of people. Porchlight’s emergency shelter is serving close to 300  
individuals per night. This high utilization is consistent with increased  
homelessness numbers nationwide. On December 15, the U.S. Department of  
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued its national report on  
homelessness which showed an increase of 12% over 2022. This is the highest  
number since the annual Point In Time Count began in 2007. Record high  
utilization at our emergency shelters comes with increased operational costs,  
including the costs for food for shelter guests." at line 31 and  
"Be it further resolved that the Dane County Board expects Second Harvest to  
prioritize people experiencing homelessness, emergency shelter locations, and  
homeless services providers in the distribution of foods with these additional  
funds.  
Be it further resolved that the County Board requests staff work with Second  
Harvest and homeless services providers to facilitate the arrangement of  
distribution to benefit people experiencing homelessness." at line 47.
