Tent Removed From Sausalito City Hall after 72-Hour Notice Given 
On Thursday, May 20, 2021, at approximately 1 PM, the Sausalito Police Department (SPD) with the assistance of the Sausalito Department of Public Works (DPW), removed a tent from the north side of the Sausalito City Hall building. The owner of the tent was on scene when SPD and DPW arrived for the removal. The owner was given the opportunity to remove their belongings but declined. All of the property in and around the tent was taken for safekeeping and is being stored at the police department until it is claimed by the owner.
On May 17, 2021, the tent was posted with a written Notice to Vacate (Unauthorized Encampment). The Notice to Vacate stated that the owner of the tent had 72 hours to vacate. The owner of the tent was also verbally advised of the notice to vacate on that same day.
On May 20, the officers on scene located two small trail cameras above the tent which had been attached to an oak tree. The cameras were screwed into the tree with approximately 2-inch long screws, an act which is in violation of the City Ordinance Section 17.28.040 - Unlawful Injuring of a Tree. The Sausalito Police Department will forward a complaint to the court for that violation.
