Proposal and Costs The Police Department?s original proposal was based off the Extended Bar Pilot Program and current Ordinance in place when the hours were extended until 4:00 am. The proposal was to utilize a Community Policing Strategy by hiring four officers and one supervisor to be assigned to the bars from 11:00 pm. to 5:00 am, and provide additional administrative and community policing duties for the bar district. That proposal would commit those officers to the extended bar hour program 55% of their time. The other 45% would be committed to conducting traffic enforcement. The concept of extending the bar hours to 3:00 am. is uncharted territory. Therefore, we propose that if this Ordinance is approved, it should be a ?pilot program? as before, so we can properly evaluate the needs to maintain the safety and welfare of the public, and help maintain stability for the establishments. We propose that the ?pilot program? run from April 2018 to April 2019. This will give us time to properly evaluate it during and after the 47th Terrace Streetscape is completed. The estimated cost for the ?pilot program? is $158,440 forfour officers and one supervisor on an overtime basis. Due to our current staffing needs, it would be difficult to fill as an off-duty detail. However, based on its progress, we will continue to evaluate the need for officer presence during the evaluation period. Because we have been advised that 47th Terrace construction activity is causing a loss of business revenue to the bar establishments, additional policing costs could be absorbed by the City and CRA. If the premise of the proposed extended bar hours is not based on the 47th Terrace road construction, and the intent is to establish a permanent program, we would propose the participating establishments pay all required costs in lieu of the City and the CRA. With the 47th Terrace Streetscape construction, it will be important to maintain a police presence due to construction and road detours. Construction will alter normal directions of traffic and, at times, with only one lane of travel available, and egress/ ingress routes could be limited. Based on the number of potential patrons that could be in the area during the Extended Bar Hours Pilot Program, it could create additional problems which may increase the probability of getting someone hurt and potentially delaying the construction project. As an example, if a major incident occurred creating a crime scene, Mayor Coviello and Council Members - Extended Bar Hours Proposal for CRA District February 28, 2018 Page 3 of 3 it could lock down that area for an unspecific amount of time that may delay the completion date of this project.
