CENTRAL COAST CHAPTER MINUTES FOR JUNE 15, 2013

Meeting to Order @ 1:09 PM

The invocation, SAR Pledge and Pledge of Allegiance were led by acting President, Gary Cooper.

Attendance:  8 members and 1 guest speaker.

Sunshine Report:

Phil Rader and Jerry Evans were in attendance and appear to be in good health. Bill Siler’s trip is going well and his next stop will be Canada.

Guest Speaker Presentation:

Officer Tim Koznek, SLO PD. Officer Koznek has five years with San Luis Obispo PD and prior law

enforcement experience with Atascadero PD and Santa Barbara Co. Sheriff’s Dept. Officer Koznek

said that the new chief has taken a more proactive stance with the homeless or transient populations

because fully one third of all calls involve these individuals. Regrettably, SLO’s reputation as being

a caring city for those in a homeless circumstance led to an ever increasing transient population and

an increase in crime. The newly formed Community Action Team (CAT) will address the issues caused by these populations. Q & A followed.

Secretary’s Report: Reading of last month’s meeting was waived.

Treasurer’s Report: $1884.22 is the current account balance.

New Business:

Jerry mentioned a new CASSAR T-shirt which is available for $21.00. He will bring to our next meeting which will be in September. There will be no meeting in July and August.

Russ Haynes produced informational brochure for review. We will vote on whether to

have them professionally printed in September.

Benediction and Closing Pledge led by Gary Cooper.

Adjournment.

Respectfully Submitted,

Chris Scrimiger, Chapter Secretary

Guest speaker Tim Koznek, and acting president, Gary Cooper
