Boris sees the main thrust of the position as pre-delinquCTt <br />intervention, in steering a student away from possible criminal or delinquent behavior. <br />Boris has also provided insight into student assessment and information on student <br />contact with other law enforcement agencies, as well as to readily report and process <br />criminal cases. <br />The budget at this time only allows for part-time funding, although Boris believ« there is <br />a potential for a fulltime liaison officer.

Boris said his main contact to coordinate his activities at the schools has been <br />with the principals and assistar ^ principals of the two schools. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br />(#5) #1989 WILLIAM STODDARD, 2805 KFI LY AVENUE - CONDITIONAL <br />USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION #3517 <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Mabusth reported that this appUcation is to e.xcavate 600 cubic yards from a low arw in <br />the applicant's yard.
