Wed Nov 19 17:03:56 UTC 2008

4PAC FOURTH PRECINCT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES – OCTOBER 21, 2008

Thu Nov 13 14:35:44 UTC 2008

Call to Order: 6:55 p.m. by Secretary, Vivian Dagnault as President, Morrie Longballa under the weather tonight.
Introductions:
Treasurer’s Report: Reed Frentz $ 564.09 current balance
Minutes: September Meeting Minutes approved as presented
Inspector’s Report: Tim Hammett – CPS First Sector
Crime Statistics – As of October 13th compared to same time period one year ago.
Robberies up 70%
Burglaries up 12%
Aggravated Assaults down 52%
Violent Crime down 15%
Arrests up 12%
Weapons Recovery: 4th Precinct: 343 YTD; Rest of city: 335 YTD
Past week’s highlights:
Shooting at Broadway and Dupont
Robbery pattern noted: Targeting people at bus stops
Burglary this past Sunday on 1600 Block or Sheridan was distressing as $2000 cash, SKS rifle, 9mm gun and shotgun were stolen. Tim stressed that firearms should be kept locked up at all times. This is how guns get in the possession of criminals.
JCAT does a lot of work collaboratively to find juveniles with active arrest warrants. The impact of this group is positive.
Questions:
What is being done regarding the up tick in robberies? More directed patrols in heavily hit areas – while widespread throughout the north side, concentrated efforts in Sector 2 – Dowling to Broadway.
Why the increased police presence around Legacy Village? More patrols are working on increased loitering and gang activity in the area between Knox and Humboldt.
What happened at Brix Grocery? (Dupont and Broadway) – A person who was shot entered the store to get help.
What other focus areas? All of Broadway is a big focus for the precinct at this time.
Residents thanked Tim for the additional police presence on Plymouth Avenue.
Program: Rita Ytzen, Senior Supervisor and Tina Johnson, Supervisor Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) Section 8 Programs / Housing Choice Voucher Program
MPHA is the largest provider of public housing for low-income residents with 5700 public housing units and 4400 voucher families. The voucher program was founded in 1974 with the mission to help low income families lease housing in the private sector without the stigma of being in a public housing building. The MPHA does not own any properties.
A family gets a subsidy to help them meet current market rental rates. The family pays 30 to 50% of the median income. MPHA pays the remainder directly to the landlord. The program is designed to house families – not drug dealers or problem tenants – one-half of the families are employed, 25% have a disabled person.
Approximately 530 families are terminated each year – some of which are due to success – they no longer qualify for the subsidy. However, the waiting list to receive a subsidy is long and is only open for new applicants as needed. The first open period in 2008 was in June during which time 13,000 applications were received. It will likely take five years to process all these applications before another open enrollment period.
While MPHA screens applicants, they do not screen to determine what type of renter the family will be. It is up to the landlord to determine compatibility. MPHA cannot evict tenants, the landlord would have to go through the housing court eviction process. MPHA can stop making payments to the landlord however. MPHA can also sanction landlords that are problematic. Housing units are inspected once a year.
Northside residents have a right to peaceful enjoyment and families must agree to abide by guidelines set out by MPHA. If you feel you have a problem family in your neighborhood, call MPHA 612-342-1421 and they will respond and act. They cannot, however, tell you if this is one of their units nor can they tell you what is happening.
Many questions followed as there was a great interest in this topic.
Announcements:
November Meeting: Hope to have “activity kit” drive for PAL – looking for a few volunteers to lead this project.
Fourth Precinct Thanksgiving Dinner – Joan Thom 612-588-4083 – seeking volunteers to help her and her husband put on this daylong event at the precinct. Thanks for those who volunteered to help out.
December Meeting: Abbreviated meeting with potluck dinner served. Bring your favorite dish.
Next Meeting: Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Respectfully submitted:
Vivian Dagnault
Secretary
