Drill Team - an added program to already existing girls' drill team will include a program for young girls ages 5-14 years to participate in activities such as involvment in Christmas parade, etc. c. Re-establishment of the False Alarm Reduction Proqram - The Sheriffs' has been plagued with a great deal of false alarms from businesses due to various causes; each time the alarm goes off, it requires a response from the Sheriff's _ . .. � � Department. In some instances, in his response to a false alarm, a deputy enroute to the call may place himself in an unnecessary danger, i.e., traffic collision, etc. Economically, the program can be very costly if proper measures are not followed. The Sheriff's Department will soon reinstate the False Alarm Reduction program with the active participation of the City in the imposition of stricter guidelines for businesses who abuse this program. The City will be responsible for the 1) collection of fines that are levied on the businesses which failed to have the alarms fixed after being served a notice, and after surpassing the allowable number of.false alarm calls, and 2) prosecution of businesses that failed to comply with the burglary and robbery alarm ordinance. 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF A CITY OF LYNWOOD HISTORICAL PRESERVATION PROGRAM Staff presented a brief report on the implementation of historical landmark preservation for the City of Lynwood on June 5, 1990 City Council meeting.
