    I know you go every time, so maybe you can answer…. But, what is the format of the Crime Prevention Council meeting?  If there is a guest talking about code enforcement, does that come at the beginning of the meeting or after typical neighborhood safety/ crime issues have been discussed?   I’d like to come to discuss crimes (not codes) but can’t stay the whole time and wonder if I should bother coming.  Thanks.  and I know they take a break for the summer… is this the last meeting before summer?

      Police and community first, for however long people have things to bring up. Then guest. Don’t know about this year’s schedule.

    I’m always shocked by the hummingbird photos.  I barely see them with my eyes, let alone be able to take such a detailed photo.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
