A tentative settlement has been reached in a lawsuit the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona filed against the city of Phoenix over its treatment of people experiencing homelessness. The settlement — the details of which have not yet been made public — was reached on March 29 during an all-day mediation and will likely be finalized within the next 30 days, according to federal court records. The city intends to present the settlement agreement to Phoenix City Council for review during an executive session on April 18, and will subsequently present it to the council for official approval at a later council meeting, records show.
