In a recent government meeting, local officials discussed several community safety initiatives and land development plans. The meeting highlighted the successful use of drone technology by law enforcement to locate a runaway individual quickly, showcasing the department's commitment to innovative solutions in public safety.

Additionally, officers participated in a breast cancer awareness campaign by wearing specially designed pink badges throughout October. The initiative not only raised awareness but also contributed funds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research.

Concerns regarding recent attempted break-ins were raised by Commissioner Roberts, who referenced ring camera footage from local residents. The footage showed individuals attempting to break into homes during early morning hours, despite the presence of barking dogs. The police chief acknowledged the reports and confirmed that such incidents are classified as burglaries. He encouraged residents to share any relevant footage with the police department, although he noted that the department's previous ability to directly request footage from Ring camera users has been revoked.

The meeting also addressed a land division proposal for a storage development project on 1844 Street. This proposal involves splitting a parcel into two lots, which requires city commission approval. The development is part of a larger plan that includes additional outlots along 44th Street. Staff recommendations for the approval of this land division were noted, with further developments expected in the future.

The meeting concluded with a motion to receive and file the police and fire reports, which passed unanimously, reflecting the commission's ongoing commitment to community safety and development.
