Moving along, Dr. Ferlic then gave a brief update on his quality of life initiatives in the <br />4th District. Essentially, with the help of others including. John Phair, Larry Clifford, <br />Kyle Chamberlin, Marcus Ellison, the legal department, Kathy Cekanski - Farrand and the <br />SBPD protocols were being developed to address a multitude of environmental concerns. <br />From trash to vacant and abandoned houses the remedial process is viewed as too <br />cumbersome and time consuming. He added that he was looking at the possibility of <br />public - private partnerships in the 4th District. The hope is that once developed <br />implemented and evaluated these approaches could be used as a model for the rest of the <br />city. <br />Dr. Ferlic then called upon Bob Hammer of the South Bend Police Department to <br />describe the Police Department's efforts to revitalize the Neighborhood Watch program. <br />A major enhancement to the program is publicly accessible software that allows daily <br />updates on crime reports. <br />This would keep pertinent information updated and available to everyone. Officer <br />Hammer provided several handouts (attached) <br />Other informal discussion followed before Dr. Ferlic adjourned at 5:30 p.m. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Dr. Fred Ferlic, Chairperson <br />Health & Public Safety Committee <br />
