Lt. Tobey Harrison discussed calls for service in the area. Neighbors raised concerns of the students that attend Jefferson High School and ongoing issues with speeding, students cutting through yards, loitering, students fighting, and smoking as well as some of the parents that have been dropping their kids off at the school not obeying the traffic laws. These concerns were placed in the “parking lot” for a future agenda issue. If you have concerns about Jefferson High School there will be a future meeting focusing on this and possibly meeting with the school resource officer and school officials likely in September before school starts back up. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Lt. Harrison at 286-5542.
