The motion carried unanimously. <br />24. Discuss Interim Report on Extended Bar Hours, and provide direction to staff. <br />Police Chief Howard Williams proved a brief history of the extended bar hours ordinance. He <br />then provided data related to police calls for service from 2007 (base year), 2008 and 2009. <br />Calls for certain services citywide have decreased. There has been an almost 60% increase to <br />DWI arrests, but this is due to increased enforcement rather than the extended bar hours. There <br />was also an increase in aggravated assaults, but most occurred prior to the extended bar hours <br />being implemented. Public intoxication arrests have increased in the downtown area since the <br />implementation of extended bar hours. Again, officer presence has a lot to do with this. <br />A One-Year Report will be presented to the City Council in September 2010. <br />25.
