SUBJECT: Health Services Department Response to Safe Community Task Force
Recommendations to City Council
DATE: August 5, 2010
The Health Services Department activities are not specifically mentioned in any of the
Safe Community Task Force recommendations. However, we do address some of the
main topics, such as management of physical environment and enforcement.
The Health Services Department will continue to respond to complaints and enforce
regulations regarding garbage, weeds and environmental nuisances. In addition, the
Animal Control activity has a strong presence in neighborhoods and works to enforce
the Animal Control Ordinance, along with educating the public on responsible pet
ownership and compliance with the local animal ordinances.
The Health Services Department works closely with Police, Housing, Planning and
Public Works to address physical environment and Health Department enforcement
issues.
