I was there and it was like he came out of 59 00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:35,170 nowhere in his personal vehicle. He remained on scene for an extended period of 60 00:06:35,170 --> 00:06:41,470 time during the course of the investigation when he didn't have to and his 61 00:06:41,470 --> 00:06:46,150 service and unwavering commitment embodies the characteristics of leadership 62 00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:48,430 that we expect in the Lakeworth Police Department, 63 00:06:49,590 --> 00:06:52,150 and because of his conduct, while off duty, 64 00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:55,530 he's being issued a police letter of commendation, 65 00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:57,530 which has already been placed in his file, 66 00:06:57,990 --> 00:07:00,070 and I would like to specifically recognize him 67 00:07:00,070 --> 00:07:01,250 with a chief's coin of excellence. 68 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,740 Okay, at this time, I would like to invite a Detective Carly 69 00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,980 page, an officer, Chris, to get it. 70 00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:40,470 So I'll read a slightly different version of the events, 71 00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:43,190 a little more geared towards the officer's point of view, 72 00:07:43,190 --> 00:07:46,510 and then read the citations of their awards for you. 73 00:07:47,190 --> 00:07:49,510 So on Thursday, January 20th, 2025, 74 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:54,130 at approximately 417, Officer Segata initiated a traffic stop 75 00:07:54,130 --> 00:07:56,150 in the 6,000 block of Hazel Avenue. 76 00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:59,090 As a precaution, she requested a backup unit 77 00:07:59,090 --> 00:08:02,410 and Detective Carly Page arrived a short time later. 78 00:08:03,370 --> 00:08:05,510 The driver of the vehicle ultimately fled 79 00:08:05,790 --> 00:08:09,270 and Officer Segata and Detective Page immediately pursued 80 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:09,850 the suspect. 81 00:08:09,850 --> 00:08:16,570 The suspect drove recklessly, endangering himself and others, eventually crashing through a fence 82 00:08:16,570 --> 00:08:20,690 and stopping in the backyard of a residence in the 5200 block of Buchanan Street. 83 00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:28,660 As the officers arrived at the scene, the suspect exited the vehicle, pointed a gun at Officer 84 00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:34,200 Sagada in Detective Page, and fired multiple rounds in their direction, one of which struck 85 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,540 Detective Page's vehicle. 86 00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:38,820 Fortunately, none of the rounds struck the officers. 87 00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:43,960 officers. Officer Cigada in Detective Page quickly took cover and observed the suspect 88 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:50,020 aiming the firearm at his head. In a moment of extreme risk, Officer Cigada in Detective 89 00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:57,580 Page exercised remarkable restraint and chosen not to use deadly force. Instead, they attempted 90 00:08:57,580 --> 00:09:01,900 to de-escalate the situation by pleading with the armed suspect to surrender peacefully, 91 00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:08,140 offering him help and resources. The suspect ultimately barricaded himself and after an extended 92 00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:12,800 unsuccessful negotiation, SWOT was called in and deadly force had to be used. 93 00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:18,680 In recognition of their extraordinary professionalism, exemplary restraint and 94 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,420 unwavering commitment to public safety, they were recommended for the 95 00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:27,060 Maritorious Conduct Award for their outstanding response during this critical incident. 96 00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:32,700 I reviewed that recommendation and agreed and tonight we'll be issuing them the 97 00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:34,720 Maritorious Conduct Award, which I will read. 98 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,060 It is hereby awarded by the Lakeworth Police Department that the Maritories Conduct Award 99 00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:46,760 for Exceptional Maritories Conduct that occurred in the line of duty on January 30, 2025 100 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,420 be awarded to Officer Christopher Cigada and Detective Carly Page. 101 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,620 Despite being fired upon, they distinguished themselves by displaying exemplary courage, extraordinary 102 00:09:56,620 --> 00:10:01,620 restraint, and unwavering commitment to public safety, where it not for their exceptional 103 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:06,820 conduct innocent lives would have undoubtedly been at greater risk from an armed and dangerous 104 00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:11,920 suspect.

So, that is the clean or unmodified opinion that you're looking for. So, if there's one takeaway from my presentation today, that is it. 144 00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:35,300 So if we'll move forward now to page seven, that is management's discussion and analysis. 145 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,880 I always like to point this out because it's a really good overview of the current year's 146 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,500 activities with comparisons to the prior year in more of a narrative format. 147 00:15:45,740 --> 00:15:50,580 So if you're not as much of a numbers person, this can be a really good place to read through 148 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,140 to familiarize yourself a little more with the financial statements and the results of 149 00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:57,000 this year's operations. 150 00:15:57,780 --> 00:16:00,080 I'm not going to go through that in any more detail, 151 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,560 but I did want to point that out. 152 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,100 Moving forward now to page 21, that 153 00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:09,200 is the balance sheet of the governmental funds. 154 00:16:10,460 --> 00:16:13,740 So the general fund is obviously the main operating fund 155 00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:16,660 of the city, and then we have the capital projects fund, 156 00:16:16,940 --> 00:16:19,140 and then the smaller funds of the city are presented 157 00:16:19,540 --> 00:16:21,240 in that other governmental funds. 158 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,960 call them the third one over. 159 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:31,860 At the September 30th, 2024, we had total assets of about $37.6 million. 160 00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:34,500 This was mostly investments. 161 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,980 This number is way higher than we usually see it, but it's because 162 00:16:37,980 --> 00:16:44,140 you all issued about $22, $23 million certificate of obligation this year for 163 00:16:44,140 --> 00:16:45,680 the new fire station. 164 00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:49,220 And so the unspent portion of that is just still sending an investment 165 00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:51,000 as it's spent down over the next year. 166 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,960 Moving down, we have total liabilities of about 2.3 million, 167 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,960 it's mostly AP and payroll, 168 00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:01,840 and then we have deferred inflows of resources, 169 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,820 which is just a fancy way to say revenue 170 00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:07,260 that you're going to recognize in future years of about 60,000. 171 00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:11,440 And then moving all the way almost to the bottom, 172 00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:14,400 total fund balance of about 35 million. 173 00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:16,620 This is like the equity of this city. 174 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:24,060 about 8 million of this is unassigned fund balance so that is money that is 175 00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:28,640 available to fund the future operations of the city. That's about 23% of your 176 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,600 fund balance. Then about another 3 million is committed or assigned so those 177 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,080 are things that either council or management have kind of dog-eared for specific 178 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:44,820 purposes and then about 24 million is restricted for specific purposes and the 179 00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:49,280 The biggest part of that is in capital projects fund and it's that money that was issued 180 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,600 to build the new fire station that's just waiting to be spent. 181 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,420 We'll go now to the next page page 22 is the statement of revenues expenditures and changes 182 00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:02,960 and fund balance for those governmental funds. 183 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,880 Excuse me. 184 00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:06,040 Can you get a little closer to the microphone? 185 00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:06,280 Yes. 186 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:06,340 Yes. 187 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:17,440 So we have total revenues of just under $20 million. Most of these about 74% are taxes 188 00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:23,480 and of those, most of them, about 77% are sales taxes. So you guys are very heavily funded 189 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:29,140 on sales tax. Your property taxes are only about 19% of that tax number. So that's something 190 00:18:29,140 --> 00:18:34,740 a little bit unique about the city of Lake Worth. Total expenditures were about $27 million. 191 00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:39,520 dollars. These were up quite a bit from the year before, but again, that's due to spending 192 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:45,840 in the capital outlay line item for the new fire station. Moving down, we have total 193 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,840 other financing sources or uses of $26 million. Again, I'm going to mention the bond. 194 00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:57,060 There's certificate of obligation. The $25 million in proceeds is in those line items. 195 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,500 And that brings us to total changes in fund balances, which is kind of like the net income 196 00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:09,920 for the governmental funds of about 19.6 million dollars. It looks like it's a huge profit. Again, 197 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,020 it's those bond proceeds and as those gets met next year, we'll have big losses in that fund, 198 00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:20,380 so it'll all leave an out over the long term. So I would just mainly pay attention to that general 199 00:19:20,380 --> 00:19:24,900 fund number of change in fund balance of $464,000. 200 00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:32,940 Now we can move to page 24. So just really quickly, 201 00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:35,860 I'm going to cover the financial statements of the water and sewer funds. 202 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,060 So this is the statement I'm not positioned or the balance sheet. 203 00:19:39,660 --> 00:19:43,420 At September 30th, 2024, there were total assets of about $24 million. 204 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,740 Most of this was in capital assets, obviously, water and sewer systems are very capital asset 205 00:19:48,740 --> 00:19:49,080 heavy. 206 00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:55,380 Then we have total liabilities of about $1.1 million, and that brings us to a total not position 207 00:19:55,380 --> 00:19:56,320 of $23 million. 208 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:03,740 dollars of this about $7.3 million is unrestricted so that's again available to fund future operations 209 00:20:03,740 --> 00:20:10,240 of the water and sewer system. And then on the next page this is the statement of revenues, 210 00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:14,280 expenses, and changes in that position so it's like the income statement of the water and sewer 211 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:20,420 funds. For the year ended September 30th, 2024 there were total operating revenues of about 212 00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:26,140 about $4.5 million, total operating expenses of just under $3 million to give us operating 213 00:20:26,140 --> 00:20:31,740 income of about $1.5 million. Then we have some non-operating revenues and expenses. 214 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:40,420 Most of this is interest income of $400,000 and then some transfers and grant revenue to 215 00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:45,280 get a total change in that position or the net income of these funds of about $2.3 million. 216 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:51,780 dollars. So now it's really quick overview of a lot of information, but if you'll have 217 00:20:51,780 --> 00:20:57,920 any questions, be happy to answer that. If not, there was one more letter I was going 218 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:04,800 to go over. So it's all the way at the back. It's page 72. This is our auditor's report on 219 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,380 internal control over financial reporting. So we look at as part of our audit to make sure 220 00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:15,180 that there's proper controls over the financial reporting process, that everything has checks 221 00:21:15,180 --> 00:21:20,520 some balances and our last paragraph on there says that we didn't identify anything that 222 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,080 we considered to be material weaknesses and we also didn't identify any significant 223 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,960 efficiencies. We also didn't identify anything that we felt like we would just need to communicate 224 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:39,280 to management as like a smaller issue with internal control. So that's very rare. It usually 225 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,200 takes me quite a while to go over this letter with some of our small cities but Debbie obviously 226 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,920 does an awesome job out here and has everything in great shape. So I just wanted to point that out 227 00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:56,620 and that's really all I had planned to cover. Can you say that last part one more time? 228 00:21:57,180 --> 00:22:02,340 Debbie does an awesome job. We're in great shape. Did I hear you actually say that? 229 00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:12,480 Yes, yes. Okay, so with our position with the amount of debt that we're carrying right now as opposed to the amount of revenue that we're generating. 230 00:22:12,740 --> 00:22:19,080 Are we in a solid position as far as you folks are concerned? Absolutely. Yes, I have no concerns about that. 231 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,760 Thank you guys so much and thank you to Debbie and Stacy. You'll be so missed. 232 00:22:29,380 --> 00:22:32,440 You know, this is Debbie's last audit. 233 00:22:38,580 --> 00:22:43,020 We're here to help if you need anything that we can do to convince her to stay a little 234 00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:43,380 longer. 235 00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:44,420 Thank you. 236 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Yes, thank you. 237 00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:48,140 That's probably going to be impossible to do, right, Debbie? 238 00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:51,780 To let you stay around a little longer. 239 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:53,960 I didn't think so. 240 00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:05,060 Debbie's been here quite a while and has done certainly an excellent job with all this. 241 00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:11,540 We know this time you can't tell me to solve. 242 00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:17,900 We appreciate Debbie everything you've done in the finance department, so thank you. 243 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:32,560 Our next agenda item is under item H, under item H1. 244 00:23:33,740 --> 00:23:35,140 This is a public hearing. 245 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:42,260 This public hearing is a continuum, so they're public hearing that we, oh, we need a motion 246 00:23:42,260 --> 00:23:42,500 right? 247 00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:43,100 We have to accept it. 248 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:43,320 Sorry. 249 00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:46,080 I got tied up here. 250 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,060 This time I'll entertain a motion regarding the audit as presented. 251 00:23:50,940 --> 00:23:57,040 Steward moves to approve and accept the fiscal year 2023-2024 annual audit and financial 252 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:03,540 statements as prepared and presented by snow-girt Williams certified public accountants. 253 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,720 I want Watkins is very happy to second that motion. 254 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,580 Motion by Mr. Steward. 255 00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:19,000 I think Mr. White beats you okay second by council member why can sorry Mr. White 256 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,700 I have a motion a second if you would council.

And it's going to be a little 362 00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:12,290 bit more energy efficient since the 1960s. We're installing what they call variable frequency 363 00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:17,030 drives on the pumps, what's it allows the pumps to run at variable speeds instead of 364 00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:22,250 just a, you know, turn on and turn off. It's got the latest kind of technologies, if you 365 00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:28,790 will, odor control. Everything that the public work staff's going to need to be able to operate 366 00:33:28,790 --> 00:33:35,250 maintain it probably for the rest of its life so that's what we're looking at for 367 00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:39,030 the marine all of station I'll entertain any questions for right now I would 368 00:33:39,030 --> 00:33:46,110 show you a picture but it's not very exciting questions council comments I 369 00:33:46,110 --> 00:33:53,330 have a question variable speed can you explain back to me why you need variable 370 00:33:53,330 --> 00:33:59,210 speed I mean I don't know screwdriver from a hammer so you know so and if you 371 00:33:59,210 --> 00:34:03,410 can imagine like a car going 0 to 60 if that was your only option same thing 372 00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:07,550 with the lift station when the sewage starts entering the plant the pumps turn 373 00:34:07,550 --> 00:34:11,010 on they'll run and then they'll shut off so there's a lot of on and off 374 00:34:11,010 --> 00:34:15,130 cycling and that kind of causes somewhere in tarot and the pumps right just 375 00:34:15,130 --> 00:34:20,270 that's the only option on and off. The variable speed allows it to ramp up as the 376 00:34:20,270 --> 00:34:25,190 inflow comes in and adjust itself as the flow comes in and out and it's a 377 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:28,910 little less wear and tear on the pumps long-term. It's also a little bit better 378 00:34:28,910 --> 00:34:30,790 on the energy efficiency side as well. 379 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,900 Other questions, comments from council? 380 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,620 What kind of power plan are you going to put in this thing?

We'll begin with the end and that is that 494 00:43:53,770 --> 00:44:00,510 crime was down four and a half percent last year. So we're really proud of that and got a lot of 495 00:44:00,510 --> 00:44:06,650 great things to talk to you about. We'll begin with law enforcement workload. We took a little 496 00:44:06,650 --> 00:44:15,510 over 21,000 calls for service last year that comes out to about 60 per day, 30 per shift. We took more 497 00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:20,730 more than 2,000 reports and file almost 600 cases with the DA's office. 498 00:44:25,140 --> 00:44:30,760 Now it's hard to know how significant that is until you hold it side-by-side to some 499 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,380 of our peers. 500 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,280 So I'd like to point out a few that I believe are notable. 501 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:42,300 The first is Wattaga, which is twice our size and has four times the population file to 502 00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:44,000 100 less cases than we did. 503 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:51,240 South Lake which I'm sorry let's move over to Benbrook which is four times our 504 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:56,640 size has four times the population also filed less cases than we did and then 505 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,980 we'll end with South Lake which is five times our population in eight 506 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,140 Times our size filed less cases than we did. And that is a testament to the work. And perhaps 507 00:45:07,140 --> 00:45:14,900 more importantly, the efficiency with which our staff does their job. It is significant 508 00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:17,380 and meaningful, and they do it so well. 509 00:45:19,790 --> 00:45:22,310 This is just a snapshot of overall crime. These 510 00:45:22,310 --> 00:45:28,950 are the major crime categories that we look at. Nothing really stands out that's much different 511 00:45:28,950 --> 00:45:35,550 from years past, theft continues to be our number one leading crime category, and that's 512 00:45:35,550 --> 00:45:44,290 attributable to our retail areas. As our auditors mentioned earlier, we are a sales tax driven 513 00:45:44,290 --> 00:45:53,450 community, so it would make sense that that crime is proportional to our community. The good news 514 00:45:53,450 --> 00:45:56,990 is that we're really good at clearing those cases, 515 00:45:57,190 --> 00:46:00,030 which means either making an arrest or solving the case 516 00:46:00,030 --> 00:46:01,610 by another exceptional means. 517 00:46:02,350 --> 00:46:04,470 And we do that at three times the national average 518 00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:07,810 for theft, another notable category is burglary. 519 00:46:07,950 --> 00:46:10,410 While we don't have that many, we are very good 520 00:46:10,410 --> 00:46:12,010 at solving those crimes as well. 521 00:46:12,190 --> 00:46:14,390 A testament to our detectives and patrol officers 522 00:46:14,390 --> 00:46:16,170 that's twice the national average. 523 00:46:16,810 --> 00:46:21,710 Motor vehicle theft did increase this year by, 524 00:46:21,710 --> 00:46:29,830 I'm just going to do rough math about seven additional vehicles stolen in 24 then in 2023. 525 00:46:30,310 --> 00:46:36,670 However, our clearance rate went through to roof with more than half of those vehicles being recovered. 526 00:46:37,290 --> 00:46:41,970 So we saw seven or we're clearing those cases at seven times the national average. 527 00:46:43,450 --> 00:46:49,050 We historically do not have many robberies, sexual offenses or other violent crimes. 528 00:46:49,050 --> 00:46:54,370 but when we do have them we direct all of our resources towards them and get 529 00:46:54,370 --> 00:46:58,210 them solved. We're clearing those at a hundred percent. A couple things I wanted 530 00:46:58,210 --> 00:47:04,490 to point out almost all the thefts are retail-related and then of the 531 00:47:04,490 --> 00:47:10,810 assaults the majority of those are simple or misdemeanor level assaults. We have 532 00:47:10,810 --> 00:47:16,950 very few felony level violent crimes that fall into that category. 533 00:47:19,460 --> 00:47:19,700 Any 534 00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:27,840 questions there before I move on? Okay. As you know, we have about 400,000 vehicles that pass 535 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:33,700 through the city every day. So traffic enforcement is really important to maintaining clear roadways 536 00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:38,960 and ensuring that the people who live in our community and pass through our community have 537 00:47:39,780 --> 00:47:47,740 efficient commutes. So we have placed a particular emphasis on traffic enforcement and will continue 538 00:47:47,740 --> 00:47:56,740 to do so. But looking back at 2024, we saw a 90, almost a 91% increase in traffic stops. 539 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:05,260 And we are focusing more on hazardous violations, those violations which put lives at risk, 540 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:12,900 running stoplights, stop signs, speeding, et cetera. And then you can see a breakdown there, 541 00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:20,860 kind of where those offenses fell. We do that to get to this slide. And this is the 542 00:48:20,860 --> 00:48:28,840 one that is among my most proud, a 10-year low in traffic crashes. We have been working 543 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:35,460 really hard over many years to get to this level. And to see our total traffic crashes 544 00:48:35,460 --> 00:48:42,940 fall below 400 is really something to celebrate. With that many cars passing through 146 million 545 00:48:42,940 --> 00:48:49,140 cars estimated per year to have less than 400 reportable traffic crashes is 546 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:56,480 really really significant. The overall goal of that of course is to keep our 547 00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,240 roadways open get everybody where they need to be on time but most importantly 548 00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:05,280 it's to prevent deaths. Most traffic related deaths if not all traffic related 549 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:12,000 deaths are preventable and so we do not want any unnecessary loss of life in our 550 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:18,320 community. We did have one traffic fatality in 2024, which was an auto pedestrian crash on 551 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:29,400 boat club road. So we saw a 13% reduction in crashes from 23 to 24 and a 42% reduction since 552 00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:38,760 2015. So really, really proud of that. Now, this is another area that we're really proud of. 553 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,800 we've got a couple years' worth of data that we can look at now, but if you'll remember, 554 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:52,720 we, not too long ago, began surveying citizens both quantitatively and qualitatively to 555 00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:56,640 get an idea of any blind spots that we may have as a police department. 556 00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:59,100 It's one thing to think that you're doing a good job. 557 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,500 It's one thing for your council to tell you you're doing a good job. 558 00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:09,680 But what about the 146 million people who passed through or the 8,000, almost 9,000 that 559 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,760 had an interaction with one of our officers? 560 00:50:12,260 --> 00:50:15,980 How did they feel about the interaction they had with our officers? 561 00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:21,520 So looking at the quantitative data, this is done using a Lycred scale where we just asked 562 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:28,220 them on a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate your satisfaction with the service you received 563 00:50:28,220 --> 00:50:35,500 from our officers or dispatchers and 940 said that they were satisfied or very satisfied 564 00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:40,040 giving us a citizen's positive satisfaction score of about 98 percent. 565 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,860 I keep saying I'm really happy with that I'm really impressed with that and I don't feel 566 00:50:47,860 --> 00:50:54,440 like those words do it justice but to operate in police and today's environment and have 567 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:59,660 98% of the people say that you did a good job that they were satisfied with the 568 00:50:59,660 --> 00:51:03,800 service that you provided is a testament to the type of people that we have 569 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:08,380 working in our police department and makes me really proud. Looking at the 570 00:51:08,380 --> 00:51:13,420 qualitative side, this is where they actually write out their sentiment and use 571 00:51:13,420 --> 00:51:19,720 their own words to describe how they're feeling. In this looking at this 572 00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:25,720 particular data set. We saw that 85% of people provided positive feedback which 573 00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:31,960 was more than 700. The neutral is a bit misleading because a lot of times we 574 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:39,060 will get respondents who will provide a five rating for example on their 575 00:51:39,060 --> 00:51:45,840 satisfaction with service and then when they're asked to type out a qualitative 576 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:52,740 remark they'll put in a or none or you know something like that so it does 577 00:51:52,740 --> 00:51:58,800 skew the numbers a bit because we don't exclude those but I look at them and 578 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:03,640 review them pretty often and almost all of our neutrals are falling into that 579 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:08,940 category where somebody did provide feedback but it was just kind of like in a 580 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:17,280 Any time we do receive a mixed or negative feedback, it immediately sent to our supervisors 581 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:25,640 to review sometimes there are legitimate things that we need to look at but not very often. 582 00:52:26,220 --> 00:52:31,300 A lot of times if someone is dissatisfied it's something that has to do with something 583 00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:37,940 outside of our control like the record took too long to get there or the officer didn't 584 00:52:37,940 --> 00:52:42,560 arrest the other person for you know whatever it was well if they didn't meet the elements of the 585 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:47,880 offense of course we're not going to do that but nevertheless sometimes that leaves people 586 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:53,380 feeling dissatisfied and we don't want to discount that we we want to give them an avenue to express it 587 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,720 and so that's what falls into the negative or mixed category. Social media is a great tool for 588 00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:07,300 amplifying our voice and so we continue to engage in that way. We saw almost a 3000 589 00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:16,000 person or 3000 follower increase over on Facebook and then we have abnormally high engagement 590 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:22,340 on Twitter. That's where we do a lot of our breaking news, things that need to be reported 591 00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:28,580 in real time and get out to the news media. We do over on X and so we're seeing engagement 592 00:53:28,580 --> 00:53:35,640 over there that's 22 times higher than the average account, which is, you know, really cool. 593 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:43,960 Okay, moving into the mandatory reporting sections, we do this in compliance with our accreditation. 594 00:53:44,580 --> 00:53:47,740 The first of those reports that we look at is vehicle pursuits. 595 00:53:48,460 --> 00:53:51,780 We engaged in 17 vehicle pursuits last year. 596 00:53:51,780 --> 00:53:58,260 One of those resulted in an injury being sustained by a civilian driver, 597 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:04,420 three resulted in property damage, a power pole, a fire hydrant, and a private vehicle. 598 00:54:05,180 --> 00:54:09,460 But it's important to know that vehicle pursuits are very, very rare. 599 00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:15,140 Only 0.19% of our traffic stops resulted in a vehicle pursuit. 600 00:54:15,140 --> 00:54:29,860 And of those, more than a third were aborted by the officer or the supervisor due to safety concerns as the chief that's important to me because that represents good decision making under a lot of pressure. 601 00:54:30,260 --> 00:54:39,460 So I'm really happy to see that when the circumstance is not favorable that officers and supervisors feel comfortable making the decision to abort. 602 00:54:39,460 --> 00:54:49,640 of those that continue. So, two-thirds that continued in half of those cases the suspects voluntarily surrendered. 603 00:54:50,220 --> 00:55:09,320 So, when I look at overall risk and liability, it's already low at 0.19% of traffic stops, but when I look at our leader's ability to make decisions to abort and the suspects willingness to give up those numbers are really low and with an acceptance within exception. 604 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,820 exceptional, acceptable boundaries for me. 605 00:55:15,110 --> 00:55:17,070 Then we move to use a force. 606 00:55:17,950 --> 00:55:22,710 High level, show a force incidents are down 49% 607 00:55:22,710 --> 00:55:26,950 and use a force incidents are down 56%. 608 00:55:27,990 --> 00:55:31,810 All of our show a force incidents were within policy. 609 00:55:32,490 --> 00:55:34,710 We had a couple that were out of policy 610 00:55:34,710 --> 00:55:38,170 over on the use of force side, which 611 00:55:38,170 --> 00:55:46,130 were handled and discipline was issued. A breakdown of the different types of 612 00:55:46,130 --> 00:55:51,290 force that were used in 2024, soft weaponless control. That's going to be 613 00:55:51,290 --> 00:55:55,810 joint manipulations, pressure points, things like that. Hard weaponless 614 00:55:55,810 --> 00:56:01,250 control are going to be different types of strikes, knee strikes, punches, things 615 00:56:01,250 --> 00:56:09,630 like that. We had three tasers that were discharged and then six takedowns. That's not even necessarily 616 00:56:09,630 --> 00:56:16,490 a hard takedown. That's just placing somebody on the ground and we document all of those. 617 00:56:17,850 --> 00:56:23,490 So all of those were reviewed. The things that were out of bounds were dealt with and discipline 618 00:56:23,490 --> 00:56:28,530 was issued and CNO flaws in policy or practice there. 619 00:56:31,020 --> 00:56:34,080 Moving on to injuries. We had nine injuries 620 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:42,080 that occurred or were sustained by on-duty officers in 24, one of which required hospitalization. 621 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:48,460 That was as a result of a traffic crash where the officer was not at fault. He was hospitalized 622 00:56:48,460 --> 00:56:54,220 for a few hours and then ultimately cleared everybody recovered 100% no 623 00:56:54,220 --> 00:56:59,080 lasting complications from those nine injuries and none of them were due 624 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,340 to negligence on the officer's part. 625 00:57:04,620 --> 00:57:09,520 We had 10 crashes involving PD vehicles in 626 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:10,080 24. 627 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:17,300 That makes me sweat a little bit but when you consider how many vehicles 628 00:57:17,300 --> 00:57:22,560 pass through the city. The fact that people are going to bump into us or we're 629 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:28,240 going to bump into them is almost inevitable. I have come to accept that a 630 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,980 little bit more because of the wisdom of Mike Christianson who told me when I 631 00:57:32,980 --> 00:57:38,280 was a very young chief that it's just going to happen, you need to just accept it. 632 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:44,880 So thank you Chief for that. Half of those were our fault. Half of those were not 633 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:50,920 our fault of course any time something was our fault we're going to look at that discipline was 634 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,620 issued in every one of those cases where we did something wrong where we could have prevented 635 00:57:55,620 --> 00:58:03,660 that crash. One of those crashes did result in an injury but the officer was not at fault in 636 00:58:03,660 --> 00:58:10,600 that crash. And then finally the greatest challenge that we face in public safety is hiring recruitment 637 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:20,300 and retention. In 24, we brought on eight new officers, two of which went to the police academy and six were hired already certified. 638 00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:29,540 We are in probably the most competitive market for police officers in the entire country. 639 00:58:29,980 --> 00:58:38,260 Fourth is the fastest growing city in the country. The Metroplex is full of really high and highly capable law enforcement agencies. 640 00:58:38,260 --> 00:58:44,760 and so we're in the salary war with each other so that drives demand for talk 641 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:50,840 to your talent which makes the recruiting environment difficult but we have 642 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,600 a great reputation which allows us to attract talent and then we're also very 643 00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:01,280 present in college campuses through our internship program attending job fairs and 644 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:06,960 then advertising digitally on a variety of platforms. Retention is an area where 645 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:12,520 I would really like to see us improve and it's an area that presented the most challenges 646 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:13,300 in 24. 647 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,180 We had three retirements, which are great. 648 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:21,820 That's a wonderful attrition, it means that we're holding on to people and they're able 649 00:59:21,820 --> 00:59:24,820 to share that institutional knowledge with future generations. 650 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:26,900 So we celebrate those. 651 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:33,580 We had four leave to go to larger agencies, three decide to get out of law enforcement altogether, 652 00:59:33,580 --> 00:59:37,800 which is representative of a broader issue that we're facing across the 653 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,620 country and then we had five leave for other reasons. We have been working with 654 00:59:43,620 --> 00:59:49,600 city management to make a lot of changes and improvements so that we can stay on 655 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:57,240 the leading edge of the competitive market. One of those efforts last mid-year was 656 00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,860 to readjust our step play pan and move. 657 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:28,440 This steps from 3% to 4% and reduced time to top out from 10 years to 7 years. And then we've also given additional 8 hours of PTO per employee. That was across the board for all city employees and those things are helping. We're also confident that what we're going to bring you at mid year will address some of these concerns as well. So we'll be happy for you to see that. And that's the end of my presentation. I know that there's a lot there. 658 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:35,360 there. There's a copy that's been placed in front of you. It'll also be available on 659 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:40,420 the city's website. Should you want to look at it later on or revisit it or share it. 660 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:45,240 And then we have all the data to back this up if you would ever like to take a deeper 661 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:51,920 dive or know more about one particular category. I'd be happy to address that with you, but 662 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,160 otherwise open to any questions you might have. 663 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,640 You have the cameras been useful? 664 01:00:57,300 --> 01:00:58,220 The flat cameras? 665 01:00:58,360 --> 01:00:58,580 Yes. 666 01:00:58,940 --> 01:00:59,420 Yes, sir. 667 01:00:59,740 --> 01:01:03,600 One of the challenges that we've had with the flat cameras is that people hit them. 668 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,100 Eighteen wheelers specifically. 669 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:13,020 And so we have not been able to have all six cameras up and running all year long. 670 01:01:13,940 --> 01:01:19,720 We've had one, there was one at Boat Club in Azul that was down for quite a while 671 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:27,760 and then R1 at the 820 off ramp and 199 right in front of Walgreens has been down for quite a while. 672 01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:36,080 Then text dot pause the permitting process for the LPR camera so it's delayed the reinstallation of that camera. 673 01:01:36,220 --> 01:01:42,840 But overall, they are great. I think the criminal element is definitely catching on to this technology. 674 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:50,100 and so it's been a great benefit for us. Our detectives use it constantly. 675 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,040 Do you have flames that still aren't covered? Yes sir. 676 01:01:56,740 --> 01:01:58,440 The state of 677 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:04,980 Texas approved funding to DPS for I want to say something like 5,000 cameras 678 01:02:04,980 --> 01:02:12,620 statewide because the Metroplex is so saturated with cameras nor Texas did 679 01:02:12,620 --> 01:02:19,960 not get very many however there is one slated or maybe even a group to be slated to be installed 680 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:28,800 on 199 near Confederate. So that may capture traffic that's moving our direction. I don't know 681 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:34,480 what side of the road or if it's going to capture both sides of the road. But as we get closer to 682 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:39,120 implementation that will become a part of our network of cameras that we're able to look at. So 683 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:43,860 So, they've been great, they're yielding good results for us and other departments across 684 01:02:43,860 --> 01:02:44,540 the Metroplace. 685 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:49,520 Could you tell us what percentage of the accidents are occurring on 199? 686 01:02:51,620 --> 01:02:56,200 I could, but I can't tell you right now I would need to do a little bit of research on that. 687 01:02:58,380 --> 01:03:05,760 Off the cuff, I would say 60 to 70% occur on 199, is that, do you think that's fair? 688 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:20,240 So have you got any definite numbers yet on from the school district on SROs, whether they're going to cut that program, and do we still have slots open for them here to shut down that program? 689 01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:31,760 So the school district has asked for us to provide them with numbers for two SROs, one sergeant, one officer, and we have provided that to them, but they have not voted on that. 690 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,020 We're still waiting on that. 691 01:03:33,460 --> 01:03:39,560 We have positions that we are holding for every one of our SROs to ensure that should the 692 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:44,980 program be dissolved, altered, reduced, we have a place for everyone to come back to. 693 01:03:46,530 --> 01:03:50,900 We felt like that was the only thing to do for our employees. 694 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:58,400 However, that has had a significant impact on our operational functionality in patrol. 695 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:12,660 Those are five positions or four positions including a supervisor position that have been held for quite some time now that we haven't been able to fill and that's at least one person per shift. 696 01:04:13,420 --> 01:04:20,460 So we are operating at or sometimes below minimum staffing until we get that addressed. 697 01:04:22,260 --> 01:04:28,100 Hopefully, once we get an answer and a commitment from them, it'll enable us to move forward. 698 01:04:28,260 --> 01:04:34,860 We do have folks in the pipeline, ECC operator, Rizolis, who was presented with a certificate 699 01:04:34,860 --> 01:04:41,620 of merit tonight, is slated to go to the police academy here in a few weeks and will be followed 700 01:04:41,620 --> 01:04:44,980 by, you know, possibly a couple other recruits. 701 01:04:44,980 --> 01:04:47,640 So we're working as hard as we can. 702 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,900 We're unwilling to compromise our standards and expectations. 703 01:04:54,780 --> 01:05:00,640 But we feel like that we've got quality candidates with the mid-year adjustments that we're going to be bringing you. 704 01:05:01,100 --> 01:05:09,340 Plus knowing what the school would like us to do will enable us to really go out and recruit and try to get these spots filled. 705 01:05:10,300 --> 01:05:17,860 Well, each of you department heads, you've had to go through some difficult trying things 706 01:05:17,860 --> 01:05:25,680 within the last 12 months, retirements losing people to different reasonings, and I commend 707 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:30,480 all of you for doing the kind of job that you do in providing the service, which is you've 708 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:35,520 got the data right here, the people recognize that you guys do a good job, and you do a good 709 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,900 job, and we appreciate that more than you can imagine. 710 01:05:37,900 --> 01:05:38,920 Any 711 01:05:42,380 --> 01:05:43,720 other questions or comments? 712 01:05:47,050 --> 01:05:53,570 I think it's fantastic report chief and again, like I agree with Gary that we're very 713 01:05:53,570 --> 01:05:59,570 blessed with the folks we have that do the job they do considering our location. 714 01:06:00,790 --> 01:06:02,430 Any other questions or comments? 715 01:06:03,170 --> 01:06:05,490 Hearing none, we'll entertain a motion at this time. 716 01:06:06,250 --> 01:06:11,430 Moved to accept the Lakeworth Police Department's 2024 annual report. 717 01:06:12,570 --> 01:06:22,890 I'll second that motion by Mr. Cox accepted second by Ms. Watkins if you would counsel please vote now. 718 01:06:26,530 --> 01:06:35,830 All members voting for motion approve anything else they see no sir thank you will join this meeting at 736 PM.
