<br />Mr. Glickert moved for approval, of the amended Bill 9168 and was seconded by Mr. <br />Sharpe. <br /> <br />Mr. Price stated to the City Manager that this was also a forward attempt to him to get at <br />issues as it related to individuals who may pose a nuisance with some criminal activity at <br />their resident. He said this was a part of a total strategic strategy in relationship with the <br />cameras, crime prevention and awareness meetings, and focus group. He asked the <br />City Manager to explain some of the benefits and changes with the nuisance law. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker stated that this would be part of a packet to insure that the community <br />remains to be a safe environment. He said with respect to this particular nuisance law, <br />this would streamline and consolidate various tools that they have had in the past. He <br />said it also identifies specifically and defines very clearly, what are considered to be <br />criminal nuisances and allow the City to address problem properties, whether it is the <br />property itself or people who are living in the property.. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked the City Manager if he would see if the City could do a study of time <br />when the City has housing court is held. He believed this was one of the reasons the <br />City has problems because previously the City has had housing court in the evenings <br />and it was better attended. He said on top of an effective ordinance, they should have <br />services available in which the City can prosecute when they show-up. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker stated that he would like to look at the time as well as the location for <br />housing court. He noted that during the renovations in City Hall, housing court was at <br />the community center, which seemed to work very well. <br /> <br />Roll call vote was: <br />Ayes: Mr. Price, Ms. Carr, Mr. Kraft, Mr. Crow, Mr. Glickert, Mr. Sharpe <br /> Mayor Welsch <br />Nays: <br /> <br />Bill 9168 carried unanimously and became ordinance 6901. <br /> <br />N NEW BUSINESS <br />RESOLUTIONS <br />None <br /> <br />O.
