Councilmember Musgrove asked for additional input on the nuisance calls and whether there is a mechanism for cost recovery. She asked if there has been discussion with the management regarding policies they could have going forward. Police Chief Katers stated that the City does have an ordinance which allows the City to charge for excessive alarm calls. He noted that some of the alarm calls could be addressed by the resident or alarm company. He stated that the category of nuisance calls contains a variety of elements. He stated that if it is deemed a false alarm, there is a table that allows cost recovery for excessive false alarms. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that not all the police calls for service were due to nuisance and noted that some were public safety concerns that staff hopes have been addressed. Police Chief Katers stated that there are 20 plus types of calls for Greenway Terrace 1 during the reviewed timeframe from October 2018 through May of 2019. He stated that there was a problem occurring and staff attempted to address that. He stated that the feedback from his staff is that there have been less calls since that time. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there is a rental license requirement which provides the City with the tool to address ongoing issues. Councilmember Musgrove noted that it was stated that this proposed site is zoned residential and asked how much of the COR is left remaining as residential.
