Detective Lee said adult arrests fell from 42 in June to 29 in July, a 31% decrease, and juvenile arrests were zero in both months. He reported a 114% increase in moving citations (291 in July vs. 136 the previous month) and an overall 55% rise in traffic collisions driven largely by non‑injury hit-and-run reports. The department’s year-to-date total calls for service were about 15% lower than at the same point in 2024, Lee said.
Lee warned that percentage changes can exaggerate small-number shifts: robberies rose from 1 to 3 (a 200% change), and reported scams increased from 1 in June to 9 in July. He also noted that burglary statistics mix residential, commercial and storage-unit incidents and that multiple unit burglaries at a storage facility can appear as multiple offenses in the data set.
Council Member (name withheld in transcript) asked whether the department could supply neighborhood-level breakdowns for upcoming neighborhood-watch meetings; Detective Lee said he could produce a Monterey Hills–focused report for a neighborhood-watch meeting and that the department would present geospatial detail when possible.
Commissioners raised data-display questions (for example, how the spreadsheet handles months that have not yet occurred) and requested the report show a dash or \"N/A\" where future-month columns now display zero. Lee acknowledged he would correct the spreadsheet formatting.
Detective Lee described the diversion program used primarily for juveniles as an alternative to prosecution and said the department could add diversion metrics to future reports. The presentation was informational; no formal actions were taken.

He said the city will present an ordinance to City Council for first reading on Sept. 17 and for a second reading and adoption in October.
The change follows state mapping under Senate Bill 63 and definitions used by CAL FIRE and the State Fire Marshal. \"It’s important to know that this is a hazard map and not a risk map,\" Chief Lloyd said, adding that hazard maps describe physical conditions without accounting for individual property mitigation.
The update matters because state regulations and local ordinance language will affect new construction and, for the highest-severity areas, set timelines for existing properties. Chief Lloyd said new construction in designated very high fire hazard severity zones must meet wildfire-resistant materials standards in Chapter 7A of the California Building Code beginning Jan. 1, 2026, and that existing properties in very high zones will need to comply by Jan. 1, 2029. He noted that the state’s AB 3074 will influence defensible-space requirements and that details of the law’s 0–5 foot provisions remain under debate at the state level.
Chief Lloyd described the city’s approach to the state map: because South Pasadena does not contain 200 contiguous acres of wildland fuels, the state applied an ember-cast model and assigned some western edges of the Monterey Hills to \"very high.\" The city’s staff revised the map by snapping zone lines to property lines and streets, and by retaining the local designation of portions of the Monterey Hills as \"high\" under Ordinance 23-68. \"Those 122 acres [of fuel beds] were not accounted for in the State Fire Marshal’s hazard severity zone map,\" Lloyd said, referencing city analysis of 660 total Monterey Hills acres and 122 acres identified as fuel beds.
How the requirements will affect homeowners was a central theme of commissioners’ questions. Commissioner G asked who would bear the cost of retrofits; Chief Lloyd said, \"The property owner is responsible for the maintenance of their private property as it is now,\" adding that staff will return to Council with funding and program ideas and will look at available wildfire-protection and hazard-mitigation grants. Lloyd cautioned that some grants (for example HMGP) may have long lead times and are typically one-time funds, and that long-term maintenance is a recurring concern.
Commissioners also questioned enforcement, access and the protective value of defensible space. Lloyd said enforcement would start with notices and a compliance process that could include abatement on vacant properties; enforcement on occupied properties raises additional legal and Fourth Amendment considerations. He told commissioners that reduced fuel continuity and appropriate defensible space buy firefighters time and act as a force multiplier: \"It buys us time to be able to get out in front of it…if they have the defensible space and they have the fire-resistive construction, we can just monitor that house and then we can devote resources.\"
Staff described community outreach plans ahead of the council reading: two neighborhood meetings (Sept. 4 at Monterey Hills Elementary School and Sept. 9 at Arroyo Vista Elementary School), door hangers to impacted properties with a QR code linking to the map, attendance at PTA and farmers-market events, and direct mail to residents in high and very-high zones.
This presentation was informational; no ordinance vote occurred at the commission meeting. Staff described the map changes and outreach plan and asked commissioners to relay community feedback ahead of the Sept. 17 council study session.","City staff presented updated fire hazard severity maps that adopt the state’s March 24, 2025 map with local adjustments, keep portions of the Monterey Hills in a high severity zone, and outline outreach and ordinance timing ahead of council readings.","actionData","errors"]
