Ms. Bridges called the regular Board meeting to order at 2:35 pm. The minutes from July 16
were approved, Mr. Baker moved, Ms. Alexander second.
Constance Sanchez from Finance reviewed the Treasurers Report. The figures are through the
end of July, the last month of the fiscal year. She stated they were unaudited figures and will not
be final until the CAFR is issued.
Linda Bridges asked if a check for the $5,000 for the Northside project had been issued. Ms.
Eldridge responded yes. Ms. Bridges requested that the group be invited to the next meeting to
give the Board an update on the project.
Cmdr. David Tones and Sr. Officer Henry Mangum gave a presentation on Operation Clean
Sweep requesting $5,000 for a new project called "Rapid Response". Since the Clean Sweep
project is only once or twice a year with the National Guard, if they have a very bad drug house
in between clean ups, they have no recourse to take action on the house. Mr. Pool asked what
the annual budget of Operation Clean Sweep was. Cmdr. Tones stated he could get that
information, but did not have it currently. Mr. Pool asked how many houses they have currently
that could be torn down. Cmdr. Torres stated he could get that information, but did not have it
currently. He stated it is always changing. The Board asked, if approved, where the funds
would come from. Ms. Eldridge stated from the Citizen Advisory Council fund, but there is a
concern regarding the DPO's current cleanups and materials. We do not want to take away from
the CCD project. The Board suggested Cmdr. Smith review the current inventory of Crime
Control clean up materials and supplies and bring that to the next Board meeting. The Board
decided instead of giving them a flat $5,000 that they would like Cmdr. Smith to review each
case to see how the district could assist with current funds. Officer Mangum stated the next clean
up is in November and the Board is invited.
In the absence of Cmdr. Smith, Ms. Eldridge reviewed the DPO activity reports.
Mariah Boone distributed the JAV Annual Report. Ms. Bridges asked if they school districts
received a copy of the report and Ms. Boone stated the report is widely distributed and she is
sure they receive a copy.
The next meeting will be September 17, 2003.
Ms. Bridges adjourned the meeting at 3:30 pm.
