I. Public Safety Computer System
DeBord provided the committee with an update and organization chart for YAKCORP,

41) management system. Subcommittees are currently meeting to evaluate needs in
various aspects of public safety. She expects to have vendors demonstrating their
products by late this year or early next year.
Zais advised that staff is also looking to identify a funding source for this project.
II. Security Measure for City Clerks Office
Moore is proposing to install security glass at the Clerk's counter similar to what is
installed across the hall from her in Utility Services and the Cashier's desk. Due to the
layout of the clerk's office, they have one employee who is essentially alone at the
counter and frequently has to deal with hostile or disturbed citizens.
Zais advised that this would be funded out of the current City Hall maintenance budget.
The committee had no objections.
III. Gang Ordinance
Martinez advised that there were two sections of the gang ordinance that were
inadvertently left out of the body of the ordinance when the ordinance was revised,
although they were included in the index of the ordinance. This is a housekeeping
measure to correct the omission.
0 It was MOVED by Lover and SECONDED by Ensey to pass the ordinance on to the full
council with a do -pass recommendation. Motion PASSED unanimously.
IV. Title 6, Public Safe ty Code Update Project
Martinez advised that as part of the consolidated RMS system, the Legal department is
undertaking a review of Title 6 of the municipal code (the Public Safety Code) to ensure
that it is in it's best form before the RMS system is implemented. Some RCW's have
not been adopted by the City into the Municipal Code that should be adopted, so there
will be drafts of updates to the criminal code being presented to the committee in the
future.
V. Violent Crimes Task Force
Granato and Rosenow presented an update of the Violent Crimes Task Force. There is
currently a recommendation to have co- commanders of the Task Force to facilitate a
prevention /intervention component to the Task Force.
