These meetings aim to foster public safety discussions between community members and law enforcement.

In a separate update, city officials discussed ongoing efforts to address homelessness through scattered site sheltering, focusing on providing housing solutions for families and individuals with disabilities. The city is exploring options beyond traditional hotel accommodations.
