POLICE COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

OPEN SESSIONDecember 8, 2014

PRESENT: Mayor Richard Meehan, Chairperson Doug Cymek, Council Member DennisDare, City Solicitor Guy Ayres, Chief Ross Buzzuro, Captain Kevin Kirstein, Captain MikeColbert, Public Works Terry Steimer, Beach Patrol Ward Kovacs, Public Works John Van

Fossen, Leighton Moore, Chairman of the Noise Board Brett Wolf

ABSENT: City Manager Recor, Council President Lloyd Martin

1. Call to Order at 9:02 a.m.

2. Chief Buzzuro gave an update on crime statistics for the month of November. OfficerInitiated Calls for Service had an increase of 35% while Citizen Initiated Calls for Servicehad a 20.4% decrease with the total Calls for Service having an overall 23.3% increasecompared to November 2013. In reviewing the top 25 Calls for Service: Noise Complaints,D.W.I. Investigate and/or Arrests, and Civil Disputes were down, while Disorderly Conduct,

Domestic Assault, and Breaking and Entering all stayed relatively the same with MotorVehicle Collisions also being down.

3. Chief Buzzuro advised the Commission that there was 1 CEW/Taser Display with WarningArc during the month of November. Officers were addressing an intoxicated disorderlysuspect when the officer displayed his C.E.W. and ordered the suspect to stop resistingwithout success. The officer then produced a warning arc with his C.E.W. and ordered thesuspect to stop resisting and the suspect then complied. There were no injuries to theintoxicated subject or police officers during this incident.

4. Chairperson Cymek stated that a citizen had recently publicly challenged the OCPD 2013

year end stats as they related to assaults on police officers and the carrying of CEW/Tasers.The citizen had pointed out that disability claims filed by police officers were up and impliedthat the CEW/Tasers were not effective in reducing injuries. Chairperson Cymek stated thathe had disagreed with the individual and mentioned there were approximately 55 assaults ofvarying severity for the entire year and felt it was important that the public be reminded thatthe majority of the assaults were found to be minimal without any injury, which wasdetermined following a complete review by the Police Department. Chief Buzzuro mentionedhe will be doing an end of year report again this year and will comment on the topic at thattime. Chief Buzzuro also stated that he has been working closely with Risk Management andhas been monitoring injuries caused by assaults on police officers.

5.

Leighton Moore brought an issue to the table that he (as well as other business owners, whichhe is representing) feel there is some ambiguity in regards to the Noise Ordinance. He felt the50 feet from the property line rule should be changed and further stated that he would like tosee the noise meter reading taken from the location where the complainant alleges theviolation could be heard, or at least on the street where it happened. He felt the law ascurrently written is not fair to commercial establishments. Additionally he would like allcomplaints to be checked with a noise meter rather than relying on the officers hearing. Hesuggested that possibly the ordinance should state that after 3 violations then no more musicwould be allowed. Captain Kirstein stated that the police department just put a policy in placein April for commercial properties and is working proactively with business owners ahead of

time. Mayor Meehan questioned whether the complainants should be required to give theiraddress was necessary and City Solicitor Ayres stated that complainants do not have to andfurther mentioned that the ordinance was intended to keep the noise levels within legal limitsand within the property. Brett Wolf, Chairman of the Noise Board stated that the police areobligated to respond to complaints and that if someone wants to create a problem for aproperty owner they can. He mentioned we have even had complaint calls originating fromout of the area such as Baltimore. Chief Buzzuro stated that they have to respond to all calls

and that people misuse the 911 system. Chief Buzzuro also said as far as when we respond tonoise violation calls we have to be consistent. Mayor Meehan questioned whether businessesare given a warnings rather than citations. Captain Kirstein replied that violations are notgiven on a first offense. The meters are hand-held computers and we try to take readings overa prescribed period of time. Officers write note the time, exact location of the reading,average spike as well as an average level of the sound. Chairperson Cymek stated that somegood points were made and we may possibly need to make a few changes to the ordinance.Mayor Meehan questioned what triggers a report to the Board of License Commissionerswhich regulate businesses with liquor licenses. Captain Kirstein stated that we only reportactions that are going to court. City Solicitor Ayres stated that if there are policies orprocedures in place they have to be written in the OCPD SOP and not necessarily into thecode. Councilman Dare made a motion to have the Police Department report back at the nextmeeting on 1/12/15 to have the SOP written into the ordinance by reference. Mayor Meehanseconded the motion and invited Leighton Moore to attend the next Police Commissionmeeting. He would like a clarification of the SOP and to see more educating of thebusinesses.

6. Next Terry Steimer brought forth an Adopt Your Beach program. Speaking of behalf of theOcean City Surf Club he mentioned that they would like to develop a program to enlistindividuals, businesses and groups involved in keeping the beaches clean. They would berequired to clean the beach at least 4 times a year. They would not deviate from any existingrules and regulations, cant clean the dunes. He felt the cleaning must be monitored and thatthe participants would be asked to make a $200.00 donation to the program to cover a sign,

bags and gloves. The participants would have to report what has been collected. ChairpersonCymek questioned what type of debris are you looking for them to clean up and during whatperiods ? Why charge the participants to participate if they are volunteering? Mayor Meehanstated that he doesnt want to see Leave Only Your Footprints program be abandoned.Mayor Meehan stated that we may want to consider delaying the start of this program untillater in the upcoming season since we are starting the smoke free initiative. John Van Fossenstated that currently the Town of Ocean City cleans the beaches in season and in the offseason as calls are received to remove debris. He also gets calls from groups that would liketo volunteer to clean the beach and could possibly be used to clean the dune crossings and theheads of the streets and possibly see the dunes added. It should intertwine with the DuneCommittee. Chairperson Cymek stated that there is a potential pool with student volunteers

which are obligated to do their community service work and stated that Terry Steimersgroup had a good idea that only needs some refining which would allow some time to recruitvolunteers and sponsors. Mayor Meehan also stated its was a great idea, great program andsuggested that they contacted DCMA the condominium managers association, get a littlemore organized and come back to see us in the summer.

Meeting Adjourned at 10:43 a.m.

The next meeting of the Police Commission will be held on Monday, January 12, 2015 at 9:00AM at the Public Safety Building, 6501 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, MD 21842
