MEMO 3/22/99 Keith Daum, Redwood Village Neighborhood Assn. representative, commented the shopping cart problem is attributable to the retailers apathy and suggested a solution of an electronic boot affixed on the carts which prevents wheels from turning therefore limiting distance from stores, instead of creating additional impacts to city resources. Michael Flynn, 1181 Ruby Street, neighborhood watch captain, stated he has received word that the City is considering approving a halfway house in his neighborhood. He stated the neighbors are very concerned as they have just got this area cleaned up from 17 years of prostitution, drugs, assaults, and mental health problems. He noted he has over 60 names of people willing to petition and stop this from happening as they do not want to return to living in fear, and noted the neighbors have not been contacted by any agency about this proposal.
