Residents Who Did Not Receive the Newsletter

• 215 N. Salcedo

• Person on Cleveland

• Some residents are receiving theirs later than others.

• We printed extra magnets and newsletters, about 50 or 60 so we can cover those who were missed.

Update on Stats From Ronnie

• The number of arrests has remained stable, however more key arrests were made recently, including some significant arrests that will take care of persistent issues.

• Key arrests include a woman who was picked up and identified in connection with a number of burglaries. That arrest also led to finding a store where a great deal of stolen property was being sold. The store is located just outside Mid-City. The arrest connected burglaries on S. Salcedo, Iberville, Baudin and other locations in Mid-City.

• Another key arrest included MCSD officers catching perpetrators immediately after a possible armed robbery in progress. Officers recovered the gun that was used and the money that had been stolen in the armed robbery itself.

• MCSD officers are making about 2 arrests per day – Ronnie feels that the arrests have been critical arrests that will improve the safety of the area.

• Reports of activity at the Car Wash continues. NOPD had been watching it but will monitor it again per requests of neighbors.

Status of Laptops for Cars

• The motion was already approved in a past meeting to put the laptops into the officer's cars. Becker will need to cut a check for the laptops so that those can be ordered and installed.

• Ronnie will request the laptops be ordered now.

Procedure to handle reports of patrols not answering phones

• Ronnie calls the officers when there is a report of no answer. Ronnie is double checks the trip sheet and cell phones cases where there has been a report of no response to a call from a neighbor.

SURVEY RESULTS

• Susan or Romney will check the PO box for surveys that have come in.

WEBSITE

• MCSD should be paying the nominal fee for hosting the website.

• Corey will determine the cost of the website and present that to the board for consideration.

MOTION to adjourn by Ms. Henderson at 7:12 p.m. Seconded by Ms. Richard. Unanimous approval.
