Summary
Sheriff Kendall told the Round Valley MAC that burglaries increased recently in Round Valley and Hulls Valley and that MCSO booked one suspect. Buffey Barassa said the county restorative-justice program has been successful but has a large caseload, with MediCal covering some services.
At the Dec. 3 meeting Sheriff Kendall reported "more burglaries are happening in Round Valley and recently Hulls Valley. MCSO booked one suspect and are searching for a couple of others." The report led to discussion of patrol and community safety; the minutes note communication between Captain Tad Call and Sheriff Kendall about whether a deputy would live in Round Valley.
Buffey Barassa, identified in the minutes as the county's Restorative Justice Program Manager, described the program as successful but under strain: "the program which has been very successful and is causing her team a large case load."
