San Diego County Supervisor Joel Anderson is proposing a memorandum of understanding between the county and the cities of El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove and Santee to address homelessness in East County.

"Now, will some people still keep moving? Of course they will," Anderson said."But, if El Cajon is out here with us, if Santee is out here with us, and we’re a united front, then we’re going to solve it."

At Friday’s news conference, there were some upset business owners and residents complaining about recent alleged crimes stemming from the encampment. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said there generally was some crime at encampments, and deputies had made a few arrests here recently relating to outstanding warrants, but the department is not able to tie a lot of crime to people living at the site.

"There are crimes in the area — there are crimes all over the place — but there is no direct relation to this homeless encampment," said Sgt. Colin Hebeler, who oversees investigations in the area.
