SLO Mandy Serrano co-chaired the meeting in absence of our Captain. She started by explaining the new Vending area on Little Street. It is operating every Saturday and Sunday featuring local vendors as well as a fresh farmers market. There is still a need to inform the community hoping to attract more people. The amount of vendors along 6th has decreased with officers issuing tickets for illegal vending. Still some of the vendors along 6th are hiding their food and wares behind trash bins, trees and anyplace they can remain out of sight of police. The health department is concerned about the selling of food. Dorothy McQuiston asked where Little Street was located. Directions to the market were given to Dorothy.
SLO Wolfe told of an OIS on 12/30. There were 2 gang members on Union and 2nd and when approached by LAPD they both ran in different directions while officers pursued them. On the 400 block of Witmer there was a resident caught in cross-fire from a stray bullet. Officers from Rampart gathered items for family of slain person.
BFMV is still the number one problem in Rampart.
