Description) Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. °Zs 07 STAFF REPORT Subject: Budget amendment approving the Measure Z expenditure plan for the remainder of FY 2006-07 Background: On January 8, 2007, the Mayor and Common Council held a workshop discussion concerning a proposed expenditure plan for Measure Z funds through June 30, 2007. After a lengthy discussion and exchange of ideas, the matter was continued for one month with the direction that a plan be brought back to implement the "YY component" of the tax measure, and to gather further recommendations from Councilmembers. The Mayor and Council did approve the request to purchase equipment needed to outfit ten police vehicles, as well as a 2-year extension of the helicopter contract, for a total cost of $595,300 in Measure Z funds for the remainder of the current fiscal year. Since that time, staff from this office and the Police Department met with some Councilmembers to discuss the expenditure plan, and the role of the Oversight Committee required by the measure. Following up on the feedback received at the workshop and through these meetings, a revised expenditure plan is now presented for your review. This report also includes a discussion regarding the specific role of the Oversight Committee, and a recommended Measure Z Expenditure Policy. Revised Measure Z Expenditure Plan through June 30, 2007 The revised budget allocates $1,611,000 of the anticipated Measure Z funding for Police Department expenditures, an increase from the $1,517,100 originally proposed for the Department. As noted in the previous staff report, this budget was developed with a realistic look toward the Police Department's ability to fill additional police officer positions by the remainder of the fiscal year, if more positions were to be added at this time. While the Department is on track to hire the 34 additional personnel as outlined in the Combined Hiring Plan, and the four officers approved through the OTS grant, it is unlikely that positions beyond the 38 could be filled by the end of the fiscal cycle. The revised budget also deletes the proposed roving recreation program, and replaces it with the start of a Police Activities League (PAL). Additional funds have been allocated toward enhanced recruitment efforts, and overtime for Crime Impact Teams has been reduced as the General Fund picked up the overtime costs for the month of January. Program cost estimates for the "afterschool at school" recreation sites and Saturday community center operations have been updated to reflect achievable starting dates for these new initiatives. The "afterschool at school" program has also been scaled back to start at two (2) middle school sites, rather than four (4). Finally, $18,900 has been included for anticipated tax administration costs that will be billed by the State Board of Equalization (BOE). It is now recommended that Measure Z funding for 2006-07 be allocated as outlined below. Note that specifics regarding each program area (except the Police Activities League) were contained in the previous staff report dated January 4, 2007. Crime Impact Teams: $544,000 Enhanced recruitment efforts: 228,800 Deployment of 10 additional Police vehicles to field operations*: 304,600 Helicopter contract and related equipment costs*: 309,700 Anti-Gang Initiative (to be developed): 130,000 Police Activities League: 75,000 `.`Afterschool at School" recreation sites (starting April): 10,200 Saturday operation at community centers (starting March): 17,800 Youth employment program grant match 11,000 BOE administrative costs: 18,900 Total budget through 6/30/2007: $1,650,000 *Approved by the Mayor and Council on 1/8/07. Police Athletic League Police Activities Leagues (PALS), originally known as police athletic leagues, began on the East Coast over sixty years ago. They have spread across the nation and several currently operate in California. PAL is a youth crime prevention program that utilizes educational, athletic, and recreational activities to create trust, understanding and good citizenship between police officers and youth. It is based on the philosophy involving young people at an early age in programs that develop strong, positive attitudes toward good citizenship through interaction with police officers, will avoid lifetimes of anti- social and criminal behavior. The program develops strong partnerships between the police and community youth. PAL brings youth under the supervision and positive influence of law enforcement and expands public awareness about the role of police officers. It reinforces responsible values and attitudes instilled in young people and their parents. Youth that respect police officers on the ball field, gym or classroom will be more likely to respect the laws those police officers enforce. The San Bernardino Police Activities League will operate under the guidelines of the California Police Activities League. Volunteers will be recruited, screened, and trained to serve as officers on the Pal Board of Directors and to assist with PAL programs. Police Officers will participate in the programs and interact with the youths in positive settings. PAL will initially target at-risk, middle school age children (ages 11-15); however, all youth within that age group will be welcome. Police involvement and interaction with at-risk youth as well as those from stable environments is a valuable mentoring tool. Participant referrals will come from a variety of sources, including the community, San Bernardino Unified School District police officers, and the faculty and staff at middle schools across the city. The initial PAL center will be established within the Delmann Heights Recreation Center with a vision of expanding programs strategically throughout the city to reach other at-risk youth. These locations potentially include: • Rudy Hernandez Community Center • Howard M. Rowe Branch Library (108 E. Marshall Blvd.) • A location to be identified in eastern San Bernardino PAL activities will initially include basketball and boxing. These activities are popular with area youth and are not currently offered at the Delmann Heights recreation center. As the program expands, additional sports programs may be added based on community input. PAL can also be expanded to include educational programs that enhance existing school programs. The $75,000 allocated for PAL for the remainder of the fiscal year will fund a part-time, contractual program manager, a full-time Recreation Program Coordinator, sports equipment, and insurance. Measure Z Oversight Committee At the January 8 workshop, Councilmembers expressed their desire to quickly form the Measure Z Oversight Committee that is required in accordance with the voter-approved initiative. Since that time, four (4) Committee members have been appointed, and several others are slated for appointment on February 5. A document outlining the proposed role of the Oversight Committee was distributed to the Mayor and Council and is attached for your review (Attachment A). It is proposed that the Oversight Committee will meet to review the proposed Measure Z expenditure plan beginning with the FY 2007-08 budget; monitor spending of the funds; report to the voters at least once per year regarding Measure Z revenues and expenditures; and review an annual Measure Z financial report to ensure that funds are spent as planned. Once a sufficient number of Oversight Committee members have been appointed and sworn in so that there can be a quorum, the Committee will be convened by the City Manager's Office. Measure Z Expenditure Policy Several Councilmembers had noted that Measure Z funds should not be used to supplant existing General Fund expenditures, and that the hiring of additional police officers should be the top priority for the use of Measure Z proceeds. The attached Measure Z Expenditure Policy (Attachment B) specifies that funds will be spent in accordance with the advisory Measure YY. It also establishes I programs budgeted in FY 06-07 as the baseline budget for the Police Department, and states that Measure Z funds will not supplant expenditures within that baseline, with some limited exceptions for specific programs that could not be continued without Measure Z funding. The expenditure policy states that Measure Z funds will be used to fund the incremental cost of the 14 sworn and 3 non-sworn Police Department positions created in FY 06-07. As noted at the January 8 workshop, these positions were added but only partially funded in this year's budget, which reflected the phased-in hiring of the employees to fill these new positions. The additional (incremental) cost to fully fund these 17 positions in FY 07-08 will be approximately $668,100, which will be funded through Measure Z. The remaining cost for these positions will remain funded through regular General Fund resources. For FY 2007-08, Measure Z expenditures will be considered during the regular budget process, and will include review by the Oversight Committee. The staff team will soon begin work on that expenditure plan. Also, the Citywide Organizational Review will be completed soon, and will include recommendations that should also be considered during the development of the next expenditure plan. Financial Impact: The revenues from Measure Z for the remainder of FY 06-07 are anticipated to total $1,650,000. Funds will be allocated as shown on the attached budget pages. Recommendation: 1. Authorize the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2006-07 Adopted Budget and increase General Fund Revenues (account #001-000-4227-Measure Z Sales Tax) by $1,650,000 and to also increase the Police Department expenditure budget by $1,611,000 and Parks expenditure budget by $39,000 for a total General Fund expenditure increase of$1,650,000 as reflected in the attached line-item budgets. 2. That the Measure Z Oversight Committee Roles and Responsibilities (Attachment A) and Measure Z Expenditure Policy (Attachment B) be adopted. Attachment A ® MEASURE Z OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Oversight Committee ❑ Review expenditure plan for proceeds from Measure Z funds beginning FY2007/08 .❑ Monitor spending to ensure that funds are spent in accordance with City Council approved Measure Z expenditures • Report to the voters of the city at least once a year regarding the revenues and expenditures of Measure Z funds • Review an annual Measure Z financial report to ensure that funds are spent in accordance with Measure Z • Meet on a regular basis City Staff ❑ Provide overall fiscal management of Measure Z funds ❑ Implement and manage programs and services as funded by Measure Z ❑ Communicate activities and outcomes of Measure Z to the public through media, website, email, newsletters, etc. ❑ Prepare and present financial report to Oversight Committee 3:56 PM02/01/07 Attachment B City of San Bernardino Measure Z Expenditure Policy 21112007 1 1:32 AM 1. Measure Z funds will be spent in accordance with Measure YY, the advisory measure approved by the voters in November 2006. 2. It is the intent of the Mayor and Council to use Measure Z funds to enhance, not supplant, current spending on law enforcement and crime prevention programs. 3. Programs contained in the FY 2006-07 Police Department budget, as amended through February 2007, will serve as the baseline for the Department. Programs funded in that budget will continue to be funded through regular General Fund resources, except for the following programs, which could not be continued without Measure Z funding: a. Police helicopter program b. Overtime for Crime Impact Teams c. The incremental cost for the 14 sworn and 3 non-sworn positions added in FY 06-07. (Note that the 10 sworn officers added in FY 2005-06 will continue to be funded through regular General Fund resources.) d. Enhanced recruitment efforts 4. The first priority for Measure Z spending will be the implementation of the Police Department's Combined Hiring Plan. New police officers and non-sworn positions called for in the hiring plan beginning in FY 2007-08, along with related expenses, will be funded through Measure Z. 5. Measure Z funds not expended in a given fiscal year will be carried over for budgeting in the next fiscal year.

Initial Truancy Proposal (Brinker) First: Truancy! PAL center- We need to change our current procedure of "catch and release" where truant students are returned to their schools immediately. Research shows that taking truants to a truancy center is more effective. If parents have to come get their kid and meet with a police officer and a school counselor before they take their kid back to school, they are more likely to intervene and make changes to get their kid to school. A partnership with our school districts to create a truancy center,/PAL center will make our truancy intervention more successful. Second: Changes to Municipal Code are necessary. Surrounding cities have clearer, more meaningful consequences for truancy. We need larger fines and a clear community service option. Ideally, I would love to see our truants put to work cleaning up our city's graffiti problem. This might require additional funding for Los Padrinos (possibly Measure Z funds). Third: Get the business community involved. We need to post truancy signs in all business within a half mile radius of our Secondary schools. The signs will state the hours of the truancy code, consequences, and a hot-line phone number to report truancy. We should consider fines for businesses that serve truants, as well as a recognition program that highlights businesses that take a positive step to promote school attendance, such as gift certificates and awards for improved attendance/ perfect attendance. Fourth: Work with schools to develop a red flag mechanism to trigger when truancy sweeps should occur. The district should develop a trigger level that would represent when attendance has fallen below acceptable levels and then notify the city to begin running regular sweeps until attendance is up again. The district will make allowances for times when illness is a factor, such as flu season. Fe 4­d into Record at .rnvOevCms Mtg: a Item __. 'C City ClerklCDC Secy City ut Safi Bernardino February 5, 2006 Good Afternoon, I was born here in San Bernardino, 3rd generation and this is my community. With regards to revenue created by Measure Z, I believe that to employee many more police officers will only treat the symptoms and not the cause of the current troubles in our community. Yes, we should add a few officers who specialize in working with those who suffer from mental illness, but healing the people and the families who live here should be our first priority. There are already several organizations here in San Bernardino striving to do just that. These are non profit organizations struggling to provide the needs of our low income / poverty level residents. They also provide counseling and encouragement to those dealing with issues of homelessness, mental illness, and drug and/or alcohol problems. There are even organizations that will assist many in seeking higher education in order to better their lives. I currently work for the County of San Bernardino, but for the last 14 years I have served dinner at a local homeless shelter. I have encountered several of those who have spent many evenings in the food line at the Shelter hoping to receive a free dinner, who are now settled into homes or apartments of their own and are giving back to their community. Each one of them received help from one of these organizations. I attended the graduation of 2 men on Saturday who, 2 years ago, had just been released from jail. They are both attending college and working and on their own now. One of them asked me how he could give a little back. And then there is the drug manufacturer and yet another non profit organization here in San Bernardino. ....We'll call him Paul. He had cars, guns, money and everything he wanted until he was arrested for possession. Upon his release he was employed by one of these organizations as a janitor. He is now preparing for graduation from Valley College but he is already working as a drug and alcohol counselor for this same organization, with 10 men who have come there seeking help. Each man is now enrolled at Valley College and so far, nine have obtained jobs here in our community. When Paul isn't working he is usually volunteering somewhere where he can help. I counted Paul and 8 of these men at church Sunday. And at yet a 3rd organization, there are 3 or 4 women who see 50 to 150 people a day who are homeless, mentally ill, physically ill or simply poor. Single parents and grandparents raising children are often there for help now. They can receive free food and clothing, and referrals to services �a6 that can assist them with finding a place to live or getting the medical help that they need. And when all else fails, they can be held and comforted or prayed with. Again, I urge each one of you to consider the healing of San Bernardino as opposed to simply locking up it's hurt and broken people and families. There is yet another place here in San Bernardino where someone who has no home can go and take a shower and wash their clothes. Again, it is here to help those with mental illness, physical illness, and drug and /or alcohol addiction. One of my adopted kids attended the NA meetings held there for months. He has been drug free for 3 years. He is working and has his own place to live now, but he still comes home at least once every week to check on mom, and make sure that I am OK and don't need any help or anything. I have two boys, and as a single mother, I have raised another three that were not my own because their moms and/or dads were in jail or on drugs. In closing I urge you to please consider spreading the wealth, to some of these organizations that are giving so much to heal our community one person at a time. I thank you for the time allowed me to speak my heart to you today and I make myself available to any one of you who has questions or concerns.

Recommended motion: Authorize the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2006-07 Adopted Budget and increase General Fund Revenues (account #001-000-4227-Measure Z Sales Tax) by $1,650,000 and to also increase the Police Department expenditure budget by $1,517,100 and Parks expenditure budget by $132,900 for a total General Fund expenditure increase of$1,650,000 as reflected in the attac in item budget (Attachment"A").%41 — gnature Contact person: Lori Sassoon Phone: 5122 Supporting data attached: Staff Report & Attachment"A" Ward: All FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Amount: None Source: (Acct.No.) (Acct.Description) Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. 06 -)-/S-/07 STAFF REPORT Subject: Budget amendment approving the Measure Z expenditure plan for the remainder of FY 2006-07 Background: On November 7, 2006, San Bernardino voters approved Measures Z and YY, creating a new .25% sales tax increase effective April 1, 2007. According to the most recent estimates provided to the Finance Department by the State Board of Equalization, revenues from Measure Z are now anticipated to generate $1,650,000 through June 30, 2007. Since the passage of the measure, staff from this office, the Mayor's Office, Police, Finance, and Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS) has been evaluating various options for expenditure of those funds anticipated this fiscal year. This planning effort has been guided by Measure YY, the advisory measure that outlines how Measure Z funds should be allocated. While Measure YY is not technically binding upon the Mayor and Common Council, it provides an important framework regarding how San Bernardino voters expect funds to be used. Measure YY stated that proceeds of Measure Z should "be used only to fund more police officers and support personnel, and to find and anti-gang and anti-crime operations, including drug resistance education and supervised after-school youth activities". The proposed Measure Z expenditure plan allocates funds in accordance with that direction. It is proposed that Measure Z expenditures be allocated in two (2) new divisions of the City's budget, with one new division in the Police Department budget, and the other in the PRCS budget. The division budgets are attached (Attachment "A"). While the statistics have not been computed for the year ending December 31, 2006, through November 30, 2006, the City of San Bernardino has seen a 14.10 percent reduction in part-one crimes. Of particular significance to these numbers is a 19 percent decrease in murders, and a nearly 30 percent decrease in aggravated assaults. From July 1, 2006, through the conclusion of November 2006, the city realized an overall 22.07 percent drop in part-one crimes. Most remarkable is the over 50 percent reduction in murder and a nearly 48 percent reduction in aggravated assault. The Operation Phoenix area, a discreet 20-block zone of the city, saw a 30 percent reduction in part-one crimes. Police Department Measure Z Spending through June 30, 2007 The proposed budget allocates $1,517,100 of the anticipated Measure Z funding for Police Department expenditures. This budget has been developed with a realistic look toward the Police Department's ability to fill additional police officer positions by the remainder of the fiscal year, if more positions were to be added at this time. Chief Billdt's revised Combined Hiring Plan dated June 15, 2006, outlined the need to hire a total of 34 new police officers during fiscal year 2006-07 to fill 14 additional sworn positions and 20 existing positions which are projected to be vacated due to attrition. Since July 1, 2006, the Department has successfully hired 15 new officers and has 5 additional applicants in the pipeline. The Police Department is on track to hire the 34 additional personnel as outlined in the Combined Hiring Plan. In October, the Department was awarded an OTS (Office of Traffic Safety) grant that funded four motor officer positions which will require the Department to hire a total of 38 new positions in fiscal year 2006-07 instead of 34 outlined by the Combined Hiring Plan. Given the circumstances, the Police Department has recommended that Measure Z funding for 2006-07 be utilized as outlined by the staff report. The following summarizes the major uses of these funds by program area. (It should be noted that the attached Measure Z budget shows the same expenditures, but is organized in the line-item budget format.): • Crime Impact Teams: 5625,000 The Police Department deploys five 2-person teams nightly for crime suppression patrols in high crime corridors throughout the city. These patrols have contributed to the 22.1% decrease in Part I (serious) crime during the time frame of July 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006 compared with the same time period in 2005. Expenditures this fiscal year through November 30, 2006 on the Crime Impact Teams total $507,500. The Police Department projects expending an average of $52,000 per pay period for Crime Impact Team overtime for the remainder of FY 2006/07. • Enhanced recruitment efforts: $147,800 The filling of the new police officer positions created this fiscal year remains a challenge, with the natural attrition rate in the Department, combined with the highly competitive labor market for police officers. In order to fill the new positions and deploy new officers on the street as soon as possible, the Police Department needs to aggressively advertise in southern California newspapers, local radio stations, billboards and other advertising mediums to recruit qualified applicants. Funds for recruitment referrals, signing bonuses, and moving expenses are included. The Police Department's recruitment team will also participate in 15 recruitment fairs. Additionally, background investigators will be required to travel out of the local area in order to conduct background investigations on police officer applicants. • Deployment of 10 additional Police vehicles to field operations: $304,600 Equipment and support items, along with funds for maintenance and fuel, are needed to fully equip and deploy ten additional police vehicle units taken from the reserve replacement pool. One of police units will be configured as a supervisor's vehicle. The Police Department anticipates placing three police units into service during April 2007, three during May 2007 and four during June 2007. Budgeted garage charges reflect the phasing in of the vehicles. Panasonic MDC's and Motorola XTL 5000 vehicle radios are needed for these ten additional police units. Four additional Motorola XTL 5000 vehicle radios, for a total of 14, are needed for the four police units purchased in FY 2006/07 as part of the Combined Hiring Plan. While equipping and maintaining police vehicles is not inexpensive, it is essential to effective police operations, and will allow the Department to have more officers on the street. • Helicopter contract and related equipment costs: $309,700 The police helicopter has proven to be an effective tool since it was first initiated in Summer 2006. The current contract is set to expire on January 18, 2007, and no funds have been budgeted to maintain the contract past that time. It is now proposed that the service be continued using Measure Z funds. The cost for the helicopter for the remainder of the fiscal year is $290,700. With the continuation of the helicopter contract for the long term, the Police department will purchase safety helmets, specialty binoculars, a digital SLR camera to be used by the flight officer(s), and other miscellaneous items ($19,000). • Anti-Gang Initiative (to be developed): $130,000 An additional $130,000 will be expended on anti-gang programs developed in collaboration with the Police Department, PRCS, and Code Enforcement. Key City representatives will be attending an anti-gang task force of twelve (12) California cities that will be meeting in Oakland in January 2007. The City's participation will allow staff to identify successful anti- gang programs in operation in California and the nation. The Measure Z funding allocated here will be used to implement these proven programs and strategies. It is anticipated that further details and program plans will be presented in early Spring. Total Police Dept Measure Z budget through 6/30/07: $1,517,100 Parks, Recreation, and Communitv Services Department (PRCS) Measure Z Spending through June 30, 2007 The proposed budget allocates $132,900 in Measure Z funds for PRCS expenditures. As the line item budget indicates, the majority of these costs are for additional part-time staffing for proposed programs, along with materials and supplies related to those programs. The focus of this programming is to provide constructive activities for the City's youth, which has been proven to reduce juvenile crime. The following summarizes the major programs and initiatives to be funded through Measure Z: • Roving Recreation Program: $61,000 This program would operate 6 days per week, from 4:00 — 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and from 10:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Three (3) part-time recreation leaders would provide recreational activities, working from a van equipped for that purpose. The program would focus on bringing recreational activities to the most distressed areas of the community, as determined in consultation with the Police Department. The recreation van will park in a city neighborhood, open its doors, and provide programs aimed at children 6 - 13 years old. Activities will include sports, arts and crafts, drama, homework assistance, and cooking projects, for example. (Van retrofit: $25,000; Part-time staffing and miscellaneous materials: $36,000) • "Afterschool at School"recreation sites: $28,400 In partnership with the San Bernardino City Unified School District, PRCS will operate supervised recreation activities at the four (4) middle school sites from 4:00 — 8:00 p.m. weekdays. This program is modeled after the successful program that ran during the "Safe Summer for Youth" initiative in Summer 2006. Activities will include sports leagues, tournaments, chorus, science, acting class, drill teams, etc. It is anticipated that through new funds available to the school district from the state, the District will be operating its after-school CAPS programs at the middle school sites. The 1 Afterschool at School program will pick up where CAPS programming ends, providing recreational and special interest programming to augment the educational CAPS program. The PRCS Department will staff the program with three (3) part-time staff at each site, along with instructors under contract that will teach particular courses. Funds will also be used to provide supplies, equipment, field trips, and related transportation. The School District will need to agree to allow the City to operate these programs at their sites. Discussions with District staff are now underway. • Saturday Operations at Community Centers: $32,500 The City's Community Center operations will be expanded to include Saturday operations. Centers are currently open only Monday through Friday. Each center would be staffed with three (3) part-time employees on Saturdays to provide recreational activities. • Youth Employment Program: $11,000 $11,000 has been earmarked to provide grant match for a $46,000 state grant-funded Youth Employment Program that will be operated in partnership with the One Stop Career Center (SBETA). This program will be geared for high-risk youth offenders between the ages of 16-21. Sixteen (16) youth would go through the first year of the program, with the funds paying for training, work assignment, uniforms, transportation. The program will start in February 2007, assuming final approval of the grant. Total PRCS Measure Z budget through 6/30/07: $132,900 For FY 2007-08, Measure Z expenditures will be considered during the regular budget process. The staff team will soon begin work on that expenditure plan, which should be discussed in the wider context of Operation Phoenix and its evolution. Also, the Citywide Organizational Review will be completed in January, and will include recommendations that should also be considered during the development of the next expenditure plan. Financial Impact: The revenues from Measure Z for the remainder of FY 06-07 are anticipated to total $1,650,000. Funds will be allocated as follows: Police Department: $1,517,100 Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department: 132,900 Total Measure Z spending: $1,650,000 Recommendation: Authorize the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2006-07 Adopted Budget and increase General Fund Revenues (account #001-000-4227-Measure Z Sales Tax) by $1,650,000 and to also increase the Police Department expenditure budget by $1,517,100 and Parks expenditure budget by $132,900 for a total General Fund expenditure increase of $1,650,000 as reflected in the attached line-item budget (Attachment "A").

Step#2- Define general fund baselines for ALL public safety spending from the previous year. Baseline amounts are essential to insuring that Measure "Z" funds are not used to supplant the regular general fund safety spending. Baseline accounting allows us to monitor spending and be accountable to the public and be above reproach. The public is wary of reducing general fund expenditures for public safety while proclaiming new increases from Measure"Z" funding; Then using the "extra" general fund monies to finance pet projects that the voters did not vote for when they approved Measure "Z". Step #3- Create a true oversight committee that reviews Measure"Z" spending and priorities before they come to the council for approval. The committee should be created like all of our other committees and commissions with each council member getting to select a representative and the mayor choosing two representatives. The oversight committee should also provide an annual report to the council as required by Measure .IYY>, Step#4- Set specific spending priorities. Measure "Z" was sold to the public as a way to fight crime in San Bernardino and every sign on every street corner promised more police on our streets. Maintaining the public trust requires not a legalistic interpretation of Measure "Z" and "YY" but recognition of the community's sincere desire that crime suppression come first. Step #5- (Unanimous consent). There are times when disagreements are good and healthy. There are times when we must agree to disagree and move forward. There are times when a four to three vote is a healthy reflection of our differences. NOW IS NOT THAT TIME! To send the appropriate message to the criminal elements in our city we must be united. To insure the voters that we can get the job done we must speak with one voice. To avoid second guessing and sending mixed messages to city staff we must not be divided. I propose a gentleman's agreement that we do not vote on any Measure "Z" spending until we have unanimous consent.

She was being questioned (license, registration, etc.). Before long, the officer was handcuffing her. I could hear something about "2 warrants out for her arrest," and "failure to show up in court". There was something else going on in the area (police helicopters flying over), so the officer was having problems getting a car out to transport her. Eventually, he took the cuffs off and let her go. He obviously was tired of waiting. They did, however, impound her vehicle. I thought something was going on all along, because the entire time they have been here (over three months), she never had any plates on her vehicle and she parked it on the back patio behind the house (not the driveway). Aside from this, I think something is going on in the garage. The adults (including friends) are constantly going in there and they are very secretive about it. There is a separate room in the back of the garage where I believe something might be taking place. Occasionally I get to glance inside the front of the garage and it doesn't seem like they have anything suspiscious there. I am almost positive there is something going on in the c back of that garage. They are like vampires. They go in and out of that garage all night long. In this freezing cold weather, it's difficult to believe anyone would want to hang out in the garage, but they do. And. they cn open the garage door(sliding type)just enough to sneak through, and they cJ shut it immediately. I forgot to mention, and I meant to email you about this, the other day he M �' (the male renter) pulled up in his vehicle with his stereo blasting (he c E seems to want to take little shots at me from time to time). You could hear = E = this the bass from a few blocks away. This was at about 9pm, and this time I C C wanted him to know that I had had enough. So, I immediately went to my window and pushed aside the curtains. As he got out of his car he looked over at my window (as he always does to see if he got a rise out of me) and to his surprise, this time I was stairing straight back at him. It was as if to say, that's it. I've had enough. He started walking away from the vehicle, and then he stopped and turned back towards me. He just sat there stairing at me. I could tell he wanted to start something so I just walked away from my window. But it seems now the gauntlet has be laid down. Since then, they seem want to live with impunity. Not caring about these little things because they know they can get away with them. Another favorite of theirs is honking their horn or deliberately setting their car alarm (horn) off. Another thing that has happened since the incident(motorcycle officer) the other day, is that they seem to be coming and going at late night hours. I have been documenting everything, but I would say, on average now, they come and go about 4 or 5 times per night. They will leave for about an hour and then one of them will return. And then they'll leave again, and then come back. This is not normal behavior. Anyway, I sure do appreciate your support. It has been very difficult to live next to this. I honestly hate being in my own house, and that shouldn't happen to any home owner. I don't know how I'll ever sell this house next to neighbors like this. I don't want to go down in price, so I hope this is 33 " Yage or resolved soon.
