New Business:
1. PS 2017-01 Police Reports for June-November 2016
Chief Hart said these were just normal reports with nothing outstanding. Alderman
Tarulis commented that the reports are helpful to respond to citizens.
2. PS 2017-02 Adjudication Reports for October-December 2016
The adjudication process will continue to be weekly. No further action.
3. PS 2017-03 Intergovernmental Agreement with Newark for Administrative
Adjudication
Since Newark only has a couple cases per year to adjudicate, they approached the City
about a partnership. Staff proposes to allow the process for six months and then evaluate
and use a percentage-based cost system. It was questioned if there would be a conflict
since the two attorneys involved are from the same firm. Mr. Olson said this is
something that would have to resolved. The committee approved and this moves forward
to the January 24th regular Council agenda.

4. PS 2017-04 Golf Cart Ordinance
Administrator Olson said the current ordinance prevents golf carts on park property,
however, not on general City property. The issue came to light in the Countryside
subdivision where rear yard easements were being used by the golf cart drivers. The City
seeks to close this loophole. Alderman Colosimo said there are five major roads in the
community and it is not conducive for a golf cart community. Exceptions may be granted
in certain instances such as parades and some are in the ordinance already. This moves to
the January 24th Council consent agenda.
Old Business None
Additional Business
After a brief comment about the Public Safety meeting time, Alderman Colosimo moved
to change the start time to 6pm rather than 6:30pm. The committee was in favor.
There was no further information and the meeting was adjourned at 6:38pm.
