<br /> B. Mike Kastrop, 28 Meadow Lane, Redwood City, described the Council's lack of action on the <br /> problem of random gunfire in the southeastern part of Redwood City; referred to the petition signed <br /> by 500 residents of southeastern Redwood City; and asked Council to vote tonight on the Urban <br /> Gunfire Location system. <br /> C. Council Members, Mr. Daum and Mr. Kastrop engaged in an exchange of dialogue regarding the <br /> Council's efforts and the neighborhood's efforts to create solutions to the long term and serious <br /> problem of random gunfire in southeastern Redwood City. Almost everyone agreed that <br /> misinformation and misconceptions regarding this issue existed, and that alternative funding and <br /> actions should be considered. <br /> D. Juan Vilorio, 314 King Street, urged Council to approve funding for the Urban Gunfire Location <br /> System, and let technology take its course. <br /> Vice Mayor Claire stated that East Palo Alto had been successful in dramatically reducing crime in <br /> that city by a large police presence; and, limited resources force the Council to choose between a <br /> successful approach of more police on the streets, or a very expensive untested technology. <br /> Mayor Buchan described how the City and neighborhood task forces have created drug-free zones <br /> around Fair Oaks School, Hoover School and Taft School; and referred to the increased police <br /> involvement in southeastern Redwood City that had resulted in decreased criminal activity in the <br /> area. <br /> 2.
