recent committee meeting about the public safety forum chart and utilizing the data. She noted
the four most common repeated concerns as: 1) improve communications and protocols with

uniformed officers and positive interaction incentives; 3) implement a clean

campaign/approach: safe streets, alleys, sidewalks, crosswalks, graffiti, trees, lawns, potholes
and poles; and 4) organize neighborhood: know each other, contacts, events and community
building.
Council Member Mendez asked if these fit into the City's existing Strategic Plan and where
they fit. Assistant Mayor Gutierrez stated these overlap with policies as the City is creating a
domestic violence position, a clean city program, increasing patrol presence of uniformed
officers and organizing neighborhoods. She stated these can be further addressed at the next
Public Safety Committee meeting. After Council discussion,
MOTION: Funk moved and Gutierrez seconded to approve the four top priorities from
the public safety forum. After further discussion, MOTION: Funk moved to retract her
motion, which failed for lack of a second. The motion carried by unanimous vote, White

regarding traffic calming measures on Cherry at North 16th Avenue. She stated this area is
