The city is holding a meeting at the Lake City Community Center on Wednesday, August 31st at 6PM to address public safety issues in Lake City. Below is the meeting announcement from the mayor’s office.
Dear Lake City Residents,
I’m writing to request your attendance at a meeting about ongoing public safety issues and our plan for addressing them. The meeting will be held at the Lake City Community Center on Wednesday, August 31 at 6 PM. Your continued input and engagement on issues in your neighborhood would be valuable and appreciated.
The Mayor assigned Assistant Chief Mike Sanford–the Department’s head of patrol operations–to work with Captain Clark from North Precinct on a solution to the reported difficulties with civility and street disorder. Lieutenant Kenneth Hicks has been assigned to direct a focused response plan for Lake City, which I look forward to sharing with you in greater detail in person. We have already added periodic foot and bike patrols, which will be expanding now that Seafair has passed. Early reports have indicated that these patrols are already having some positive effects. As we move forward, there are other steps we can take to make sure everyone who is living, working or stopping in Lake City feels safe. I hope you will be able to join us on the 31st for a discussion of those steps and where we can go from here.
Thank you again for your interest in Lake City.
Darryl Smith
