The meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. by Chairman Mann.
OVERVIEW OF SECURITY UPDATES AT CORRECTIONS FACILITY
Chief Crawford updated the committee on some changes that are taking place at the Corrections
Facility. Captain Chuck Miller gave some background information to the committee on escapes
from the Kent Corrections Facility, and explained the security measures that have been taken
to prevent such escapes. He discussed potential contracts with other agencies, and the Marshal's
contract. Chief Crawford noted that different security checks are being required now in terms
of the building for county and state, and the physical county people.
MUNICIPAL COURT PARKING ORDINANCE
Assistant City Attorney AIlen explained that the consensus between City Attorney Lubovich,
Chief Crawford, and himself is that there is enough in the Kent City Code to designate the
parking scheme for the municipal court. He noted that signs have to be put up yet, but that this
item can be struck from the agenda because it's already covered in the City Code.
DISCUSSION ON NEXT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING
ADDED ITEM
McCarthy noted that the next regularly scheduled meeting would be on January 17th which is
a Holiday. After some discussion, it was the consensus of the committee to cancel the
January 17th meeting unless items come up that must be dealt with and then a special meeting
could be held, if necessary.
HOMELESS/TRANSIENT CAMPS
ADDED ITEM
Chief Crawford noted that in the next month or so an issue related to the homeless/transient
camps needs to be discussed because there are some major problems developing in these areas.
RESIGNATIONS
Mann reiterated that he hopes the Chiefs would not submit their resignations, as requested, and
that he does not support having someone over�two departments as proposed.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:54 p.m.
