NOVATO, CA — Construction crews last week started work on a court-ordered temporary camp at Lee Garner Park, city officials said.

The work began on Nov. 29 with crews helping occupants move their belongings out of the construction zone, officials said.

U. S. District Court Judge Judge Gonzalez-Rogers of the District Court for the Northern District of California in October presided over an agreement between the city and the California Homeless Union on the construction of a temporary camp for those currently living there.
