MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS
21A.
Councilmember Snesko stated he had distributed material today on his
community policing program and would like to give the Council a week to
review it. (1301-01)
22C.
Mayor Higginson stated he would respond to Councilmember Snesko's previous
proposal under his item regarding the Sheriff's service. He stated that
the City has worked very hard on crime prevention and has one of the
lowest crime rates in the County. He feels we are being very proactive
and spend more money that any other contract city on state of the art
equipment. He suggested we do need another juvenile officer, more
Community Service Officers, and need to be sure the senior volunteer
program is effective. (1301-01)
215.
Councilmember Snesko stated he feels we would have many more reports of
drug activity if we offered a reward and an anonymous reporting system.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by
Councilmember Cafagna to establish a six month program to offer a $1,000
reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of drug
dealers. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember Emery absent. Staff will
report back on the implementation.
21C.
Councilmember Snesko stated he feels we are not getting a good result from
the "We Tip" program. Michelle Isaacson, 12954 Cree Drive, stated she has
been reporting drug activities in a particular house in her neighborhood
for three years and has not gotten any results. Staff will work with her
regarding her complaint. (1301-01)
21D. Councilmember Snesko asked if we could talk to CalTrans about putting
another exit from the HOV lanes at Mercy Road. Staff will talk to them.
(Councilmember Emery entered the meeting at 8:00 p.m.)
225.
Mayor Higginson stated we have received a request from the County Board of
Supervisors to adopt a resolution supporting continued military presence
