The motion was unanimously carried. (3-0-2) C. NEW BUSINESS C-1 PILOT PROGRAM REPORT - POLICE HARBOR PATROL Mr. Henderson explained a little bit about the program. For the last 90 days the Police Department has increased patrol in the Harbor Area with Harbor Personnel. The Pilot Program has received positive ✓ eaction from the City and the Harbor Community. Mr. Henderson then indicated that if there were any questions Chief Howell was in atten- d ance to receive. them. Mayor Shelton asked Chief Howell to give a short report for public recognition of the program, and give any ✓ ecommendations he might have on the future of the program.. Chief Howell indicated that members of the Police Department had been riding with members of the Harbor Patrol and patrolling the h arbor area in the evening hours on a random basis for the past 90 d ays. It is hard to evaluate on this short term experience, but it looks as though the program may have done some good,. It has also created some positive interaction between the Harbor Patrol and the P olice Department, in that Police Dispatchers have ridden in harbor patrol boats, and know know. when a call comes in exact locations, and what the surrounding area looks like, etc. Mayor Shelton asked if Chief Howell had any idea at this point as to t he cost of the Pilot Program? Chief Howell indicated on duty police personnel were used as well as regular and. reserve harbor personnel. It was thought that if the program continued for one year it would cost about $20,000. Dave Howell and Nick Nichols will evaluatethe fiscal impact on both the Police and Harbor Departments due to this program, and report back to Council in next year's budget proposal. Mayor Shelton asked if there were any further questions. Council - member Risley asked if any of the Harbor Commissioners had been in- volved in any of the patrols. Chief Howell said not to his knowledge, but had discussed with the Harbor Commission prior to the pilot pro- g ram starting and that the Harbor Commission had purchased. a. radio o ut of their funds for use in this program.
