A decision made by the city of Surprise's city council is raising some concerns for those in the city of Phoenix.
Surprise lawmakers passed the city's first so-called "urban camping" ordinance, which will make it illegal for people to "camp" or store their personal goods in places like public parks.
It's aimed at homeless encampments that have had some Surprise residents concerned, according to Seth Dyson, human services and community vitality department director for the city of Surprise. But, Phoenix City Council member Kate Gallego said this is Surprise quote "exporting their homeless problem to Phoenix," and council member Michael Nowakowski asked what will happen to these individuals when there are no more shelter beds left for them.
The Show's Lauren Gilger spoke with Dyson Tuesday morning about the motivation behind this new law, and also with Lisa Glow, CEO of Central Arizona Shelter Services, about her reaction to this move by Surprise.
