Church offers settlement
to Palm Beach County
Westgate Tabernacle Church offered to settle its dispute with Palm Beach County this morning, as a jury was about to begin considering the case that could decide the fate of the unlicensed homeless shelter.The church agreed to drop its suit if the county would agree to a number of conditions, including:
■Paying the church $500,000.In return, the church would agree to limit the number of homeless sleeping there nightly to the number allowed by the county fire code — a limit the county says would be 27. More than 100 people have slept at the church in recent nights.
■Dropping all liens and fines.
■Working with the Tabernacle to secure federal funds.
Jury deliberations were put on hold while county attorneys considered a response to the offer.

Update:The South Florida Sun-Sentinel has a slightly different take on the settlement offer. Read it here.

Just left a message at these phone numbers about the
conference call, tonight. They created the "Tent City" in Richmond,
California that reduced violent crime by 90%, in five weeks.
Though it was a "church" aimed at stopping the violence and
not a "homeless encampment", it does show what could be
done. And I tell you plain, if a "Tent City" is presented to
"Stop The Violence", what community would not want it ?

Beware of the "Drainbow's". Considering so many of the Vets
are homeless, it would be best to present this information to
people trying to help "homeless vets".
