Huston, City Manager FROM: A~ministrative Services Department SUBJECT: TI[C- 1 Request RECOMMENDATION: That Council create a new line item in the 1988/89 Non-Departmental Budget and appropriate $2,000 for the purpose of maintaining the TAC-1 community service effort for senior adults in Tustin. BACKGROUND: The TAC-1 group has contributed a great deal to the safety of our community by working with Explorer Scouts to install smoke detectors in the homes of senior citizens. This item has not appeared in the budget as a continuing line item, and as a result the TAC-1 group has had to come to the Council from time to time to request funding. Now it appears that some batteries in several of the longer term installations need to be replaced, and there is no provision for that in previous Council actions. Since this is a safety item which utilizes volunteer TAC-1 members in cooperation with volunteer Explorer Scouts, it would seem a wise use of City money to make this appropriation in order that TAC-1 may continue its worthy efforts in our community. Regarding the problem with code violations, the County Fire Department is following up with the appropriate authorities. In addition, a letter is being drafted for the Explorer Scouts to use as identification when visiting residents. Royleen A. White, Director Community and Administrative Services RAW: jg
