Residents press council on speed sign, Temple Station centennial and burglary prevention
Summary
During public comment, residents asked the council to repair the radar speed sign on Longden, confirm plans for Temple Station's 100th anniversary, and explain what reduced burglary rates; staff said these items will be investigated and reported back.
Multiple residents used the council's public-comment periods to raise operational concerns the council asked staff to follow up on.
Jerry Jambezian noted the radar speed sign on Longden in front of Longden School was not working and asked that staff check it; he also asked what assets would be present at National Night Out and asked that Temple Station's 100th-anniversary plans continue despite leadership changes. He said, "I have some comments... I'm a business owner in Temple City for 71 years." The council asked the city manager to follow up on the radar sign and to report back on planning for the Temple Station centennial.
Later, resident John Xu of Olima Street thanked staff for a reduction in burglaries this year and asked what tactics helped. City staff pointed to targeted policing, review of crime reports, coordination with major crimes and contract policing advantages as factors under active review. Mayor Mann told residents staff would agendize any new measures before significant changes.
