ADOPTION OF FEBRUARY 21, 2008 AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Adopted as submitted. 3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS Advisory member DeVon Johnson asked for a status report on the Friendship House. Committee Chair Carson said she would send a letter requesting the information. Ken Lujan, a registered sex offender, described the persecution he is experiencing as a result of his picture being posted on the internet. 4. DEFERRED BUSINESS A. Update regarding Gang and Graffiti Enforcement— Rector Police Lieutenant Bianco reported on a recent case that cleared 48 graffiti offenses. The Police and Sheriff's Departments, and Kern High School District worked together to solve this particular case. Some taggers are changing their symbols and crew names, others are now resorting to violence. The Bakersfield Police Department is to receive a $154,000 Calgrip grant which will provide funding for a regional data exchange for participating law enforcement agencies. This database will contain information for both gang members and graffiti taggers, although definite parameters are not yet set. The grant funds will also enable the purchase of cameras citywide and GPS components. The cameras will be placed in areas where law enforcement has seen the greatest problems, such as multiple gang shootings and high incidences of graffiti. The reorganized Special Enforcement Unit consisting of the Gang Unit, School Resource Officers and GHOST Unit combined recently on a sting operation. These stings can be set on the spur of the moment based on a phone call. The Skate Park at Beach Park was recently tagged extensively. The facility had to be closed for five days for cleaning. Captain Williamson reported that the Park Patrol will soon be starting on weekends. The Bike Patrol is also starting up again, which will provide more targeted enforcement. B. Discussion regarding Laws Governing the Location of Sex Offenders Following Release— Gennaro Probation Chief Roberts reported that the sex offenders living on Union Avenue are State parolees overseen by the California Department of Corrections. Kern County does not have anyone housed in that area. There are approximately 200 adult sex offenders in the County system, the number of juveniles is unknown. County officers are trained to use Static 99, a risk assessment tool mandated by Jessica's Law.

In response to a question from Committee member Sullivan regarding the length of time pictures of sex offenders remain on the internet,once they complete Probation, City Attorney Gennaro said that the registration is for life. She will report back on the current policy. Audrey Chavez said that there should be equal responsibility between the community, parents and the individuals themselves to keep everyone safe.
