City manager report: public safety metrics and July 4 event recap
Summary
City staff reviewed July 4 activities and provided monthly operational statistics: the city reported fire and police call totals, training hours, permitting activity and updates on Treatment Plant No.2 startup and drought conditions.
City staff and the city manager updated the council on operations, public‑safety metrics and parks activity at the July 20 meeting.
Events recap
A parks and events presenter (speaker 3) reviewed the three‑day July 4 celebration, reporting about 75 boats in the ski show and an estimated 350 people attending some events onshore. The presenter named the grand marshal, Jim Arany, identified parade winners and noted the Lions Fish Fry served 2,536 people and netted $7,132 from meals, donations and a silent auction. The presenter thanked staff, the police and fire departments, volunteers and the parks and recreation team for organizing events under extreme heat.
Operational and safety metrics
The city manager's report (speaker 9) provided month‑to‑date operational numbers: 91 permits issued in the past month (including 17 residential and 9 new home permits), 176 emergency calls for fire, 165 non‑emergency calls, and 595.5 training hours completed in June (including hosting a three‑day trench rescue course). The police department reported 517 calls for service in June, 34 incident reports, a response time under 4 minutes (3 minutes, 57 seconds), 3 property crimes and 3,423 property checks; traffic enforcement included 783 traffic stops, 10 vehicle collisions and 84 parking citations. The manager also said Treatment Plant No.2 internal tank components installation and painting are complete and startup has been slightly delayed, now anticipated by the end of the month, with subsequent upgrades at Treatment Plant 3 expected to finish by Oct. 1.
Drought advisory
Staff noted the region remains in stage 2 drought and urged residents to conserve water and cut back outdoor irrigation; no new mandatory restrictions were announced during the meeting.
Next steps
Staff said remaining work on Treatment Plant No.2 will continue through final commissioning and performance testing, and that once No.2 is fully operational attention will shift to upgrades at Treatment Plant 3.
