Council agrees to pause extra Wednesday‑night reserves for December and January
Summary
After discussing citations and patrol activity, the council supported pausing the additional Wednesday‑night reserve officer detail for December and January and to reevaluate the program Feb. 10, 2025, unless circumstances require earlier action.
The council reviewed a program that assigned reserve officers to Wednesday nights beginning in April 2024 and heard staff reports on enforcement activity. A staff speaker outlined incidents and enforcement contacts over the period and asked for council input on whether to continue the additional reserve presence.
Several members said they had not heard strong public concern and favored a temporary pause for December and January to evaluate whether the detail is still needed; one councilor recommended reevaluating the program on Feb. 10, 2025. The mayor noted occasional random patrols would continue and staff said reserves still may be used if a specific need arises. The council's directive was to take no action to continue paid reserves for those two months and reassess in February.
