III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Animal Control and Rescue (Lee)
Chief of Police Bob Lee presented the Committee with an updated
2014 3rd Quarter Animal Control Operations report to replace the
packet copy. Chief Lee reported that the City of Auburn Animal
Control Officer, George Winner, has an increasing workload and is
diligently working the animal issues throughout the city. Chief Lee

explained that the 3rd Quarter report only covers Officer Winner's
activities and there are steps being taken to include all department
officer contact with animal control issues. Many officers have
responded to calls when Officer Winner is unavailable and it is
desirable to have an accurate city wide total of animal control
activities. Currently, Officer Winner spends the majority of his
activities on calls which does not allow time to conduct
important self- initiated activities.
B. Crime Activity Mapping (Lee)
Chief Lee conducted a brief overview of the Crime Mapping tool
located on the City of Auburn Web Site. This tool is available for all
citizens to view various crimes and areas of the city where they have
been committed.
Chair Peloza presented a copy of the Police Blotter from the Auburn
Reporter. Chair Peloza's concern is that the Crime Mapping tool did
not specify the block in which the crime occurred, whereas the
article includes this information. Chief Lee demonstrated how the
tool directs the user to a specific house with identifying street
names, without giving an actual address. Data is extracted from
Spillman and transferred to the Crime Mapping program which was
purchased for this specific use and is updated on a daily basis.
Chair Peloza inquired about the weekly report on CAD, arrests and
domestic calls that was previously requested. Chief Lee informed
the Committee that the information has been submitted to Dana
Hinman, Public Affairs & Marketing Liason. Mayor Backus will follow
up with Ms. Hinman on the status of this report and report back to
the Committee.
C. Project Matrix
10P: Status updated.

meeting was adjourned at 3:43 p.m.
