He <br />noted that they are willing and very happy to go above that. <br />Commissioner Blank asked if the ratio on the night of the shooting incident was one per <br />28. <br />Mr. Mull replied that was probably correct. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired if the conclusion was that at least it was sufficient for that <br />evening. <br />Mr. Mull replied that there were fights that broke out in the club and were immediately <br />dealt with and moved outside the club. He noted, however, that no number of officers <br />could have prevented somebody from driving by and taking a shot at somebody, even if <br />there were one hundred officers.

She inquired how readily available the data from that scanner <br />would be in case there were an incident. <br />Mr. Mull replied that he believed the data are immediately available with the new <br />scanner that was purchased right after this incident occurred. He stated that in their <br />meeting with the Police Chief, they indicated that they would make that data as well as <br />footage from the video camera system immediately available upon request right then <br />and there. He added, however, that he is not sure if they might have to scroll through <br />500 different data points to find something. <br />Commissioner Pearce verified that it is immediately accessible, nevertheless. should an <br />incident occur. <br />Mr. Mull said yes. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 8, 2012 Page 10 of 23 <br />
