[Rotary] An Opportunity to meet Chief Cervenka

[Leona Walden]


at Noon on Thursday July 25, 2024

 Hello Mendocino:,
Mendocino Rotary is honored to have Fort Bragg Police Chief Neil Cervenka speak to our club and talk about the Proposition 47 grant and how FBPD would be able to expand their Care Response Unit services south to Albion. Chief Cervenka is also Fort Bragg Assistant City Manager and has a remarkable vision for the North Coast Area ... This will affect us all - DON'T MISS IT!

Proposition 47 was a voter-approved initiative on the November 2014 ballot that reduced from felonies to misdemeanors specified low-level drug and property crimes. Each year, the state savings generated by the implementation of Proposition 47 are deposited into the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund. Sixty-five percent of these savings are set aside annually for the grant program. Proposition 47 requires that these funds be awarded to public agencies to provide mental health services, substance use disorder treatment and/or diversion programs for those in the criminal justice system. 

During his time with us, Chief Cervenka would also like to address some of the challenges that Ted Williams spoke about during our TownHall Meeting.

This is a great opportunity to hear about the vision and implementation of much needed services here in our coastal communities. It is also a wonderful opportunity to join friends and neighbors at this Rotary meeting held in the Mendocino Presbyterian Church Sanctuary this week due to the Music Festival Performance in Preston Hall 

 * As a reminder, due to the Mendocino Music Festival, our regular meeting will be held inside the main church rather than in Preston Hall.
