Subject: Please allow sleeping in the warming tent

Body: Hello,

My name is ____ and I am a citizen of Chico asking the city to change the rule banning people from sleeping in the warming tent at Depot Park. Assemblyman Gallagher's staff has concluded that fire sprinklers are not required to allow sleeping in emergency shelters at this time so allowing sleeping in the warming tent is not only the moral thing to do, it is the legal thing to do.

Thank you for allowing our city’s most vulnerable population to have access to a warm place to sleep during these cold nights.

Thank you,
