Richmond restructuring Neighborhood Watch By
Nicole Grubbs RICHMOND -- Neighborhoods may be soon be safer because of changes in the structure of the Neighborhood Watch Organization. Tuesday the City Council listened to several recommendations about the organization from Councilman Allen Lundgreen, who supervises the Neighborhood Watch. The chair of the program, Dallin Smith, has decided to step down at the end of the month, said Lundgreen. The council approved the appointment of Lois Anderson as chair on a unanimous vote. At the next Neighborhood Watch meeting, Anderson will have the option of appointing a co-chair. This type of leadership has never existed in the Richmond organization. In addition, George Stewart will be asked to oversee some projects done by the organization. "He will be a special assignment person or type of thing," said Lundgreen. These changes will take effect Nov. 1, said Mayor Kip Panter. The council also discussed adding three or four more Neighborhood Watch signs to the city streets. There are two in place now, said Lundgreen. City Manager Marlowe Atkinson said he will check on the cost of the signs. "They're expensive little pot-tickers," he said. In other business the council unanimously approved the personnel manual. The city recorder gave the financial statement review and Councilmen Cordell Johnson and L.D. Bowcutt gave their reports.
