• <br />• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM 3 B <br />STAFF MEMBER Daniel Tesch, Director of Administration <br />DATE 24 October 2005 <br />SUBJECT Crime Prevention Specialist <br />VOTE REQUIRED 3/5 <br />BACKGROUND <br />In September of last year, the city added a Volunteer Coordinator in the Public Safety <br />Department. Chief Pecchia has conducted an evaluation of the position and is requesting the <br />position be reclassified to that of a Crime Prevention Specialist. Not only does this better meet <br />the needs of the department, it also works towards one of the council's 2005 goals to maintain a <br />high level of public safety. <br />In addition to overseeing volunteer activities, this position would be expanded to include <br />coordinating businesses and residents on crime prevention efforts. Activities would include, but <br />not be limited to Neighborhood Watch, Park Watch, Merchant Watch, National Night Out and <br />McGruff House. <br />Karen Anderson, our current Volunteer Coordinator has perfoiined well in within the department <br />and meets the requirements of the new position. <br />We recommend this action be effective 1 November 2005. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve the reclassified position. <br />2. Deny the reclassification. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Number One. <br />
