CITY COUNCIL -
Vice Mayor Van Deventer referred to a letter he had circulated to the Council regarding an
upcoming meeting with the new Navy representative and requested Councils' input. He also
mentioned a Crime Report from SANDAG which reflects that the additional Police Officers
added to the force are showing a positive impact on the City. National City is the only City in
the County where the percentage of crime has decreased.
Councilman Pruitt stated that he has requested the City Attorney's assistance in getting the
word out that drive -by shootings will not be tolerated in this City. They are planned shootings
and should be looked at as attempted murder. City Attorney Eiser will draft a Resolution
requesting that the District Attomey pursue all drive -by shootings in National City as
attempted murder not assault and also all drive -by shooting participants be tried at the most
severe level of the law as adults not juveniles. He thanked the City Attomey for helping him in
this endeavor.
Councilman Pruitt also stated that he and Captain Deese of the National City Police
Department attended the San Diego County Human Relations Commission Workshop where
they learned that more could be done to address the needs of the City's youth. One way to
accomplish this would be to establish a National City Youth Commission with representatives
from the schools and other various organizations. He and Captain Deese will put this into
some kind of format and present to the City Council at a later date.
Councilman Dalla requested that the City Attorney provide the statistics on arrest records and
prosecution of drive -by shooting incidents. He also requested that Police Chief Knee be put
on a future Agenda to provide information on the improvement of the crime situation for the
1st Quarter.
