Nanaimo, B.C., proposes $412K iron fence to separate city hall from nearby overdose prevention site

The City of Nanaimo says it is considering building a 1.8-metre-high fence to protect its staff from what it describes as "congregations" of people, violence and disorder associated with an overdose prevention site next to city hall.

Staff proposing the $412,000 fence cite "intimidation and harassment" of employees, particularly those working early or late, as well as damage to staff vehicles, fires near doorways and building perimeters, human waste and a general deterioration of the site.

Mayor Leonard Krog said in an interview Monday that the municipality had a legal obligation to protect its staff and property, and the final costs may be less or more than the recommended budget.

"Since this relocation, the city has experienced a significant increase in disorder around city hall and SARC," the report says.

"Disorderly behaviour is common both during and outside the facility's hours of operation. When closed, individuals frequently congregate in the parking lots, gardens, and shaded areas around city hall and SARC, leading to considerable safety and operational challenges."

The report says there are "congregations of 20 to 30+ individuals during early morning and evening hours."

That guy is unreasonably proud of 15 Police Officers over 5 years. Like he just cant let it go or understand that...it really doesnt mean anything.
