City Councilscope for Tuesday, March 16
Here is one of the more interesting agenda items set to be discussed at the March 16 meeting of the Chattanooga City Council.
7. Resolutions:
c) A resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to apply for and accept a grant from the MetLife Foundation for Community-Police Partnership Awards in the amount of $15,000.00 which will be used for training and to purchase uniforms and equipment for Sector Three Bike Patrol.
It’s always nice to see companies and foundations giving out grant money to things that truly help cities and communities. The Chattanooga Police Department Bike Patrol has been one of the more successful law-enforcement projects over the past decade.
The bike-riding officers patrol the downtown and riverfront areas, providing a visible deterrent to crime and helping both residents and tourists. In many ways, the bike officers are goodwill ambassadors for the city, and anything that can help them to maintain their training and equipment is worthwhile.
The Chattanooga City Council meets each Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the City Council Building at 1000 Lindsay St. For more information on the agendas, visit www.Chattanooga.gov/City_Council/110_Agenda.asp
