2 <br />4. PROPOSED MASSAGE PARLOR ORDINANCE <br />PIS Pena gave an update on the Massage Establishment moratorium <br />enacted by the City Council that will be in effect until May 21, 2007. Upon <br />staff review of other cities' ordinances, it was found that there was no <br />differentiation between massage establishments and day spas. PIS Pena <br />will be doing further research before the ordinance is updated to protect <br />the City from unscrupulous operators. It will then be presented to the <br />Public Safety Committee. Chief ACA Kaufman talked about the <br />Massage Establishment Permit. <br />5. UPDATE ON 800 BLOCK S. TOWNSEND AND 1000 BLOCK E. BISHOP <br />Deputy Chief Jensen updated the Committee on these locations. He said <br />a 21-member task force from City Departments were following a Problem <br />Oriented Policing model to improve the area. The task force visually <br />inspected the Bishop Manor area and will bring all data to a meeting in the <br />near future, documenting strategies and track actions taken. Townsend <br />Street will be studied next using the same plan. A progress report will be <br />provided each month on Bishop Street. It was suggested that the Public <br />Safety Committee walk through the areas with the task force at a future <br />time. <br />6. FIREWORKS ENFORCEMENT COMPARISON WITH GARDEN GROVE <br />Fire Marshal Smith compared how Garden Grove handled enforcement of <br />illegal fireworks compared to Santa Ana. According to their after-action <br />report, they took primarily the approach of giving citations and did not <br />confiscate many illegal fireworks. Conversely, Santa Ana removed a <br />significant amount of illegal fireworks from the street and issued fewer <br />citations. The education programs for each city are similar and send the <br />same messages. The costs of the seasonal efforts were markedly <br />different, Garden Grove spending approximately $100,000 and Santa Ana <br />approximately $36,000. Both jurisdictions, having been in the education <br />mode for just three years, concur that only time will tell which enforcement <br />and education program methodologies best deter the use of illegal <br />fireworks. <br />7. PROFILE OF HOMICIDE AND SHOOTING VICTIMS FOR 2007 <br />Chief Walters reviewed City-wide gang and non-gang-related homicides <br />and shootings for 2007. The data showed that homicide and gang <br />shooting victims were gang members or associates in 45 of the 74 <br />incidents (61 %); homicide and gang shooting suspects were gang <br />members in 56 of the 74 incidents (76%). In addition to the 63 gang- <br />related shootings, there were 42 non-gang related shootings from <br />January 1 through July 31, 2007. <br />13B-4 <br />
