Summary
The commission agreed that two to three commissioners will update the existing neighborhood-watch plan and do preparatory work; Police Chief Borges offered departmental support, and staff will coordinate next steps with the commissioners who volunteered.
Commissioners discussed restarting the neighborhood-watch program. An unidentified commissioner reported that Police Chief Borges replied, "I'll help with anything you need," and that the police department retains purview for certain program elements such as social-media communications.
Commissioners agreed to form a small working group of two or three members to update spreadsheets and the action plan the commission used previously. The working group will prepare a fresh plan and do the groundwork so police staff can participate in implementation meetings. One commissioner volunteered to serve on the subcommittee and others expressed willingness to assist.
No formal motion to adopt a new plan was recorded; the commission directed staff and the volunteer subcommittee to prepare an updated neighborhood-watch action plan and to coordinate meetings with police staff.
