More analysis on the cost implication for longterm maintenance costs, looking at whether any of our documents have space.

Coordinator in making sure that rubicon stays in compliance with the i. P. M. Ordinance and implements that into their training opportunities. Over the last several years, they dont apply herbicide as part of their programs anymore. We felt that overall consistent with the citys i. P. M.

So Law Enforcement assistance diversion to work with individuals with nonviolent related of offenses to offer an alternative to an arrest and the county jail. We are seeing reduction in drugrelated crimes in the pilot area. They have done the program for quite a while. They are successful in reducing the going to the county jail. This was a state grant that we applied for. The department is the main administrator. It requires we work with multiple agencies.
