AGENDA ITEMS
CONVENE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 6 PM
1. Approval of 06-12-2007 Minutes
Shouldn't there be a Public Comment Opprotunity for a Citizen to Address the Redevelopment Agency on an issue that is not on the agenda? Just because the Staff has nothing on the Agenda there may be a Citizen Issue to be brought to the CRA... Right?
ADJOURN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
CONVENE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
1. Items to Delete
2. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
A. Introduction of Sheriff’s Deputies
Great Guys, and Great Work... Just wish the City Council would authorize the release of Public Records of the calls to the sheriff and the tickets or type of tickets issued and arrests and unsolved crimes. Public Mention of the Prostitution House Being Busted was mentioned as a side comment. Fellony Arrests have increased as the city added Deputies. The old theory or practice of If we have no Enforcement or Sheriff there is no Crime has proven to be a fiction. It will take time to regain civility in Grand Terrace, let us hope that we are moving in a possitive direction, by addressing the crime problems rather than hiding them behind ever increasing housing prices.

COUNCIL AGENDA
Home owner on De Berry has asked to have street parking return to the frontage of her property. Steve Berry, said he'll review the situation with the Traffic Engineer.
Patricia Farley: Complamented the Fire and Police Dept on a Improved 4th of July. Know one can tell how much of that is due to the 4th being Mid Week or the inforcement. Yeah no fires. However, the Mayor's comments promoting the Use of Fireworks in the street is rather problematic. A Street is a Public Property like a Park. If it is safe to use fireworks where people will be driving, parked cars with fule will be near by and so forth, what again is the logic in not having the fireworks being use on a green lawn or in the Parking Lot of the Parks, and not in the residentical areas? Drinking and unsafe use of fireworks was noted and citizens were "Educated". It is time the Education includes a fine for Unsafe use of Fireworks. What fund rasing efforts the sports teams make between now and next 4th. IF the city is going to allow firworks in the city, it should be contained to PUBLIC Places like the PARK not the Streets, and back yards where there is a higher risk of fire, and drunken use of pyrotecnics.
