the City's Legislative Platform.

12.Automated License Plate Readers and Neighborhood Watch Program Funding
Requests
G. Harold Duffey, City Manager gave the Power Point presentation for this item.
Council Member Robles expressed her procedural concern that the City Council did not
appoint an Ad Hoc Committee to meet with Assemblymember Reyes' office to bring
back the item before Council to support.
Council Member Hussey explained that resident Johan Gallo and Lieutenant Wolfe
were the individuals who brought this proposal to Assemblymember Reyes' office and
he was invited by Mr. Gallo to attend the meeting in a supportive role and Council
Member Hussey honored Mr. Gallo's request.
Council Member Allen expressed his concern with the group's recommendation to the
City contained in the proposal assigning additional oversight of the program by Code
Enforcement. He is reluctant to include that into the proposal as the City's Code
Enforcement Department is stretched very thin.
City Manager Duffey explained what is before Council this evening is to apply for a
grant for ALPR Cameras and a Neighborhood Watch Program. The assignment of
resources for the daily operations is not before the Council.
Mayor McNaboe supports Neighborhood Watch Programs and additional ALPR
cameras, however she would like to see the Neighborhood Watch Program participants
in place before ordering a lot of equipment that otherwise may not be used for a long
period of time.
