The police have reported that some auto thefts are being committed to obtain parts for other vehicles used in racing. To emphasize the need for residents to remove valuables from their cars, the police have discussed developing flyers that look like parking tickets to place on vehicles that have valuables left in them. We have had 7 auto thefts and 29 thefts from autos in January and February in Mac-Groveland and those numbers are similar to statistics in January and February of 2000. Fifty welcome packets were prepared in January, February and March for new residents in the neighborhood. The Teen Council still is in need of members.
Many teens have difficulty fitting another activity in their schedules.
Project Public Achievement is under consideration for next year to replace Teen Council. The mural in front of KidsPark has been obscured by new construction. A new mural will be painted on the storage building in June or July. Consideration is being given to moving the Young Art Fair portion of Grand Old Day to Blooming Days on Grand or another time. The Battle of the Bands would still be held on Grand Old Day.
