• Informal survey of Fire Department Paramedics is that the number of transports <br />for intoxicated students is down significantly. <br />• Mark Kramer of Kramer Properties has held several "met and greet" <br />neighborhood parties for students and residents, at his own expense. He is <br />keeping his residents informed of inappropriate behavior, and responding to <br />complaints. <br />• Code Enforcement and the Universities are telling and showing parents where <br />and how many students can live in residentially zoned neighborhoods. <br />• Neighborhood complaints about student properties are down. <br />This is probably the most significant result. This is due to the aforementioned bullets, <br />and by prompt response to neighborhood complaints by the police, and by increased SUDS <br />patrols by the State. The question has been asked if extreme weather and a less than successful <br />football season the last two years have played a roll, and while it may have, I believe the <br />reduction in complaints has come from everyone (especially the Universities and its student <br />leaders) getting the word out to "tone it down and be a good neighbor". The students have <br />responded positively. <br />While this has been a positive result, not all problems have been resolved. Most <br />continuing problems in neighborhoods with rentals involve zoning issues and will have to be <br />taken up by the Zoning and Annexation Committee in 2009. Some of these include weekend <br />game day rentals, illegal grandfathering, possible "spot zoning" and inappropriate number of <br />occupants. <br />The CCAC has taken a somewhat informal approach to its meetings, allowing for open <br />discussion so positive steps can be taken. I feel we have accomplished some things using this <br />process and would like to continue with these meetings run this way. The CCAC will have to <br />be an ongoing process, and if it continues, I see no need for the council at this time to reenact <br />the social host ordinance. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />I/~~ ~~ ~ <br />z=~- ~~ ~~--,. <br />.1 ~ II ~G~C~I;~c.~j ~ t <br />Al "Buddy" Kirsits <br />Chairman CCAC <br />Filcd r~ ~rt'~ ~~fice <br />1 ., <br />~~~ - _._~ <br />,~~.',;~'JOCrGE <br />
