APD – Lt Floyd:

Largely auto vehicle breakins. Youths ride the train in and get off and and commit crimes. Also ‘train kids’. Remember to keep your car clean!! Most crime along McLendon and Clifton, and streets that are heavily parked by patrons of restaurants. Please continue to dial 911 if you see something suspicious.

Valencia (Natalyn’s office):

Bad sidewalks:

Report it to the city to avoid liability and get it fixed.

Contact her if you see any street lights out.

Contact Commissioner rmendoza@atlantaga.gov about the lights on McLendon.

404 546 0311 – How to reach 311 on your cell phone (to get Atlanta not Dekalb).

When you call 911, tell them that you need Atlanta 911, and if you get Dekalb they will stay on the line until you are connected correctly.

 

Officer reports

 

Safety – Kathie Ryan:

Sam Collier has been working with Candler Park to work on the combined Security Patrol. Annual fee of $200.

Interested in another volunteer from the Tuxedo/Palifox side of the neighborhood.

Initial goal of 225 members to start and pay the offers for a year.

This is the best opportunity Lake Claire has had in years to get a Safety Patrol. The more people you have in the LC area signed up, the more focus LC will get in the patrols.
