Supervisor Gingerich asked Mr. Hopkins how he concluded that $600,000 for extra law enforcement in Marilla was “one hundred percent inaccurate” when he was not present at the meeting the Supervisor had with law enforcement when this figure was discussed. Supervisor Gingerich stated that this amount (actually more) would be billed to the Town of Marilla and subsequently to the residents of Marilla equaling approximately $300/yearly to the average household, increasing over the years. Mr. Hopkins stated the idea that the town would incur this expense is “categorically wrong.” Mr. Rush also stated there would be no additional resources needed by the Town. Shawn Slammon requested statistics showing there was no increase in 911/emergency calls from the same type of facilities. Mr. Hopkins stated they would make an effort to obtain those statistics. Debbie Zimmerman asked Mr. Hopkins to bring a detailed security plan to the Public Hearing. Max Strasser asked if Mr. Hopkins could guarantee the project would have no effect on the residents’ taxes. Mr. Hopkins stated there would be no effect on taxes because of this project. Max Strasser also asked about liability insurance protection in place so no lawsuits could be filed against the Town of Marilla. Mr. Hopkins stated he would investigate the type of insurance they are envisioning having. Mr. Hopkins requested copies of any letters the Town of Marilla might receive so they could be prepared to address any questions. Debbie Zimmerman asked why Sheriff Garcia would “praise” the organization given the fact that there was no organization mentioned in his letter. Mr. Hopkins stated Sheriff Garcia was referring to the services offered by the organization currently without naming the organization. IV. New Business None. V. Old Business None. VI.
