Re: Burglar Alarm Issue

By now, nearly everyone has heard about the burglar alarm issue. Moments ago, a joint meeting of the Public Safety Committee and the Education and Neighborhoods Committee concluded its meeting.

Interestingly, the Public Safety Committee voted 3-2 to recommend to the City Council that it veto the action of the Police Commission. And the Education and Neighborhoods Committee voted 2-1 to sustain the action of the Police Commission.

Therefore, the City Council agenda tomorrow will include two separate reports and recommendations, one from each committee. The City Council meeting starts at 10 a.m.

Public Safety Committee:

Yes
Perry, Zine, Pacheco
No
Miscikowski, Weiss

Education & Neighborhoods Committee:

Yes
Padilla, LaBonge
No
Hahn

Both reports will include a recommendation that task force be formed to, among other things, define verification protocols, create a public education program, suggest ordinance changes, review what other cities do, analyze the fees, etc.
