hauling in Riverview.
- Rita Cole, 21767 Knudsen, Thanked the Board for their dedication
and spoke on behalf of the business district owners requesting the abolishment
of the boarding house on Macomb Street and asked for more police presence
in the business district to prevent occurrence of further breaking and
entry's in the area. Police Chief Barron responded that is difficult
to check every business every evening. We continue to be a very safe
residential community and funding for additional police personnel and
vehicles would require additional taxation by way of millage renewals
and increases. There are currently two officers adding an additional
officer to each shift would be very expensive.
