Committee says Zotz to Tots safety plan mostly worked but recommends staffing fixes

Chair Ed Holland reported that Zotz to Tots on Sept. 19 drew "over 600" participants, roughly double previous turnout, and praised volunteers and CERT members for helping run a safe event. Holland said a volunteer discovered the Los Trancos intersection was unstaffed and that redeployment of volunteers caused a late start and operational delays.

Nick from the sheriff's department explained several volunteers missed preassigned positions and the department had to redeploy staff; members suggested ensuring an officer is assigned to critical intersections (Los Trancos) in future years and revisiting staging and closure timing to reduce congestion and bunching at the finish.
