Committee sets timeline and deliverables for holiday public-safety work plan

Staff reviewed the draft work plan for the Holiday Public Safety Enforcement project and the committee suggested several edits: remove the word "illegal" from a deliverable, add language to require recommendations be provided to city council, and correct the timeline to allow council action ahead of July 4. Adam said the committee should aim to complete review and recommendations by March 27 to allow sufficient time for any required council action and implementation before the July 4 holiday.

Committee members emphasized measurable deliverables, including after-action reports and performance metrics to judge whether changes lowered calls for service or improved crowd management. Staff said the work plan will include recommendations for operational practices, public education and enforcement strategies; the committee approved the revised work plan language and asked staff to return with a final draft in October.
