Staff has received several requests for "SLOW, Children at Play" signs. These signs are not sanctioned by the City as the sign provides a sense of false security to the children and parents.

Dixon City Manager DATE: RE: (909) 694-1989 FAX (909) 694-1999 May 17, 1993 POLICE ACTIVITY REPORT FOR APRIL, 1993. The following report reflects the Part I Crimes, Traffic Activity, and miscellaneous activity occurring in the City of Temecula during the month of April 1993. As in previous months the Part One Stats are broken down by individual districts within the City. This provides a greater understanding of the criminal activity within the City for police staff deployment and for Council/ Commission interest. There were no civil unrest incidents in Temecula associated with the L.A. trials dealing with the Rodney King incident. You may have noticed that Officer Roberts has been assigned to bike patrol in the Old Town area starting the f'wst of April. His work area also includes the shopping centers and surrounding business areas. I intend to try the full time bicycle officer for 3 months, through the summer, and evaluate it from there. Thus far several positive comments have been received from persons who work or live in the Old Town area. The Cities fiest homicide occurred during April. An arrest of the suspect was made five hours into the investigation. Without the support from patrol officers, who's past contacts with the suspect assisted in the investigation, and the team cooperation, the case may have taken much longer to solve. Over 75 hours of overtime was required to work the case. Investigators overtime is not billed to the city. APRIL, 1993 PAGE TWO The Balloon and Wine Festival went smoothly. Several patrons contacted the staff working the event to comment on the security staffing and the general overall quality of the event. Three arrests were made for minor violations. Security is expensive, but the recent Riverside outdoor event where the crowds became unruly and resulted in a brawl is an example of the need for adequate security.

Along with the usual continuous Commercial / Industrial Fire Safety Inspections Carried out by the fire station and prevention personnel, weed abatement activities were phased in beginning April 1st. FUll preparations for posting and sending out notices for weed abatement within the City of Temecula were made. In addition, State / County funded personnel began dooryard Fire hazard inspections in the County / State Responsibility areas adjacent to the Temecula City limits and within the City's sphere of influence. This will decrease the potential amount of fire carried into the City from outside it's current boundaries. City weed abatement will be in full swing beginning May 3, 1993. The most significant structure fire this month was a fire in a garage attached to a condominium located at 44671 La Paz St. off of Highway 79 South. The fire was reported by a CDF Division Chief from San Diego. Me is in charge of the Rainbow Conservation Camp. He noticed it's beginning as he passed through town on business. Upon arrival of the first fire units, the garage was fully involved in flames with a jeep inside, and the fire was ~ust beginning to burn it's way into the living area. The fire was contained quickly with the first alarm (1 BC, 4 fire engines, I truck, and the City Breathing Support Truck). Two or three minutes longer, and the on duty chief would have had to request a second alarm. The fire was caused by a young man carrying a fuel can in the garage to fuel his jeep. While carrying the fuel, he tripped. The can fell to the floor and gasoline spilled on the floor and went under the clothes dryer which was operating. The gasoline ignited explosively, singeing the young man and his dog. Both were ok and required no medical treatment. In addition, fire units responded to a reported fire at the Temecula Middle School located at 42075 Headowe Parkway. A classroom was full of smoke and the problem was found to be an electrical short circuit in the room's emergency exit sign. It is significant to note that upon our arrival, the entire student body had been evacuated in what appeared to be a very efficient manner. The ongoing public relations and training of the public and school children continued. station 73 has actively begun a fire explorer post in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America. This will enhance community interaction even more. We anticipate the possibility of a busy fire season this year based upon all of the new vegetative growth brought about by the earlier rainfall. Fire season should begin sometime in May. we appreciate your support and enjoy serving the City of Temecula in all aspects of the Fire Service. Please contact Battalion Chief John Winder or myself if you have any questions about your fire protection. Thank you.
