4 issues in public safety
Epicenter law enforcement equipment agreement
Instead of the city eating the cost of staffing Epicenter events, officers will be hired directly by the venue as extra jobs, and the venue pays $25 per hour per police vehicle for traffic control.
Litigation settlement (Cause No. 25-CCV-076189)
The council authorized city staff to negotiate and sign a settlement and agreed judgment in a pending lawsuit, with Councilor Vargas the lone dissenter.
False alarm fee enforcement
The city's false alarm fines are basically uncollectible because the ordinance only allows charging when an alarm was set off "intentionally or knowingly" — which almost never applies. Roughly $10,000 was written off this year. Most council members want the language removed, and the city attorney will research stronger collection tools.
Animal Control and Shelter Monthly Report
The shelter euthanized zero healthy animals in August, a milestone the mayor wants publicized. Staff are working to bring spay-and-neuter events back to the city.
