the City can afford she asked that the Council consider using surveillance in high
crime areas because visibility is a major crime deterrent. She stated that she
recently observed a program regarding these high-tech surveillance cameras, which
have been very successful. She stated that the cameras are bullet proof and are
monitored by the police department, and when they sense any activity at any of the
sites they have the ability to zoom into the face of the perpetrators.

Member/Commissioner Derry, that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the
Finance Director to incorporate the recommended adjustments dated 6/16/05 (blue
