Public Comment
Mr. Sal Sciarrino, 911 Montego Court, suggested that Police Department overtime could be reduced by utilizing a Court Liaison Officer.
Dr. Fay Biles, 1588 Heights Court, questioned the expenses associated with police dispatching; reminded Council of Beautification Advisory Committee accomplishments; and remarked that the reason that the State of Colorado is financially sound and the State of California is broke is because Colorado has a "cap."
Recess: 11:58 a.m. to 12:05 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. It is noted for the record that the same council members were present when the meeting reconvened.
