This growing encampment has been cited here -- and "closed" by city departments) numerous times over the last months. The white bus has been cited here in various locations in the waterfront neighborhood.

Does nobody at City Hall ever look out their windows and see it?

It the waterfront beyond the jurisdiction of our Police Department?

Do we need to call for the State National Guard to restore civil order in our city?

Code Enforcement Division assigned this issue to Christina E., Community Services Section (CSS)

The new parking enforcement team is out and about. They are aware of the white bus etc @ boat launch parking lot. Said city is aware of situation but that the parking team isn't to confront the squatters unless accompanied. No time line given for that. That encampment is growing daily.
