noise volume to EBRPD. He noted that EBRPD is willing to work with the community to mitigate the noise level. Ms. Ayala believed the information provided to the public mentioned a total of 23 water slides. Ms. Knutson said she did not know where those numbers came from, as they are incorrect. At full build out of the water park, there would be a total of 17 water slides. Ms. Ayala was mostly interested in Phase I. Ms. Kuntson said that Phase I would consist of the four existing water slides, four new water slides, the circle racer, and two other body slides for a total of 14 water slides. Ms. Ayala asked California Splash to consider while Council was taking public input, whether the total number of 14 water slides for Phase I could be reduced. Tim Neal, Chief of Police, introduced Norman Lapera, Chief of Police of the East Bay Regional Park District. ChiefNeal mentioned that the Pleasanton Police Department works with the EBRPD police deparhnent on a daily basis as they police the Pleasanton Ridge and Shadow Cliffs. Mr. Brozosky mentioned that a report was submitted to Council regarding the Concord water slides park. He asked Mr. Lapera to explain that report and to identify and explain what types of calls the Concord Police Department receives related to the water park. ChiefNeal noted that Council received a letter fi.om Mr. Gary Smith, a Pleasanton resident that listed all calls received for services for Concord's water park. In raw numbers it would be appear to be large as it entails every single police response. He mentioned that Chief Lapera had Concord police distill those calls to determine what in fact were crimes and police responses. Based upon Mr. Smith's letter, Chief Lapera stated that he contacted the Concord Chief of Police and asked him what were the actual events that occurred in 2003. The Concord Chief of Police had his crime analyst pull all of the information for 2003. The total number of calls for service in the year 2003 to the water park was 93. The Concord Chief of Police broke down the crimes by different penal code sections, and primarily there were four simple batteries, roughly 17 petty thefts, six thefts greater than $400, four vandalisms, two burglaries, one stolen car, and a few traffic related incidents. The vast majority of the calls were 911 hang-ups. The Concord Fire Depa~hnent also responded to a few calls related to personal injuries. The characterization of the Park as a high crime area is incorrect and calls for services actually was small. He mentioned that ChiefNeal and he discussed what a city like Pleasanton would receive for calls for service such as from a shopping mall. Pleasanton City Council 20 03/16/04 Minutes
