Novato is bringing on a new specialized emergency response team. The City Council unanimously approved a contract Tuesday to fund the first year of a five-year pilot program called Specialized Assistance For Everyone. It is run through a nonprofit, the Petaluma People Services Center. The agreement stems from a national shift to supplement traditional law enforcement with specialized service centers, according to a city staff report. “We’re really excited to be entering this partnership with them,” police Chief Jim Naugle said. “While my officers do an excellent job on those calls, sometimes there are situations where even we could use a little help. Things are little outside of our scope or just a little bit different than things we can do, and especially these situations that don’t rise to a criminal nature.” The crisis team will share space with the Police Department and respond to 911 calls related to mental health crises, substance abuse issues and homelessness. Service calls could be related to domestic abuse survivors, welfare checks, counseling requests, suicide intervention, death notifications and dispute intervention. The team would reduce the burden on police and fire services while providing specialized care related to those issues. Municipalities that use the program have seen a 10% decrease in police calls for service, the staff report said. The cost of the program in fiscal year 2024-25 is $548,713, which includes $53,000 in one-time startup costs taken from the general fund for expenses such as repurposing a van and stocking up supplies. Personnel expenses are estimated at $461,000 and operating expenses at $34,600, which will be paid for by American Rescue Plan Act funds. Aziz Majid, director of the Specialized Assistance For Everyone program, said the team responded to about 70% of all calls between 2021 and 2024 alone, and about 30% of the calls with police officers if there is a safety threat, like a weapon. “When someone doesn’t know what to do if they need help, they turn to 911,” Majid said. “Sometimes that’s not the most appropriate line to request help, but that’s just what it is in our public safety system.” The program has fielded more than 25,000 calls across all its jurisdictions. About 80% of the calls were resolved in the field, and 20% required transportation to places like clinics, shelters and hospitals. The program has diverted 783 cases from emergency departments, 496 from jails and 796 from ambulance services. The team also does community outreach to build trust with residents. Majid said another benefit of the center is its ability to connect people directly with in-house services like therapy or meal delivery. He said the center works closely with local service providers, but it can be more efficient to connect directly to the center’s services. “We have all the programs and resources in place,” Majid said. “So it prevents a lot of upstream connection.” For the first year, the program would operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Two-person response teams include a crisis counselor and a medic. Councilmember Susan Wernick asked how the city will pay for the service after the first year. Assistant City Manager Jessica Deakyne said there are shared-cost opportunities through the savings many hospitals get from diversions, as well as interested partners in the fire and hospital sectors. “I am really excited about this program,” Councilmember Pat Eklund said. “Novato is a senior community, and there is a lot of seniors that I know personally that have had issues at night and they don’t necessarily need a police officer but they need help.” City staff and the center will report to the City Council in six months on how the service is going and if more staff is needed. The center will also give monthly reports. The service is expected to start in early 2025.Giants release quarterback Daniel Jones just days after benching him EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito.

NBA memo to players urges increased vigilance regarding home security following break-ins MIAMI (AP) — The NBA is urging its players to take additional precautions to secure their homes following reports of recent high-profile burglaries of dwellings owned by Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Kansas City Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Red Bull brings wrong rear wing to Las Vegas in mistake that could stall Verstappen's title chances LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen is suddenly in jeopardy of being denied a fourth consecutive Formula 1 title Saturday night.

Noodles and wine are the secret ingredients for a strange new twist in China's doping saga Blame it on the noodles. That's what one Chinese official suggested when anti-doping leaders were looking for answers for the doping scandal that cast a shadow over this year's Olympic swim meet. Earlier this year, reports that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned heart medication emerged. None were sanctioned because Chinese authorities determined the swimmers were contaminated by traces of the drug spread about a hotel kitchen. In a strange twist, the leader of China's anti-doping agency suggested this case could have been similar to one in which criminals were responsible for tainting noodles that were later eaten by another Chinese athlete who also tested positive for the drug.None

(NYSE:ALIT)Cleaning Gutters Inside and Out With Orlando Roofs & Gutters 12-27-2024 10:26 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Orlando, FL - Rain gutters play an instrumental role at every property. These helpful devices catch rainwater and redirect it to the ground, reducing the amount of moisture-related damage that the property endures. However, as with most things, rain gutters require maintenance if they are to continue working properly. Gutters can build up debris not just on their exteriors, but on their interiors as well. Orlando Roofs & Gutters, [ https://www.orlandoroofsandgutters.com/ ] a local business, has taken on countless gutter cleaning [ https://www.orlandoroofsandgutters.com/gutter-cleaning-company-in-orlando-fl/ ] projects and shares information on how to clean gutters below. Gutter Brightening: Making Gutters Look Their Best Rain gutters add a striking "outline" to homes and commercial properties where they are installed. However, over time, rain gutters will become covered with layers of debris. This causes them to lose their brightness and visual appeal. Fortunately, it is not difficult to remove this filth and restore gutter beauty. The necessary tools are a ladder, washing water, and a gutter brush. Climb up the ladder and use the brush and washing water to scrub the debris off the gutter's exterior. Gentle strokes are best because they reduce the likelihood of gutters becoming scratched. Brushing is an excellent way to remove unsightly gutter stripes. Gutter stripes are formed when water trickles over the edges of rain gutters, tracking dirt as it goes. This phenomenon causes thin, runny lines to appear all over the exteriors of a property's rain gutters. Orlando Roofs & Gutters provides gutter brightening and gutter stripe removal services for those who do not wish to do the work on their own. Gutter Cleanouts: Ensuring Zero Blockages Rain gutters are great at catching rain, but they are just as talented at catching large pieces of debris, unfortunately. Perhaps the biggest example of this debris is dead leaves. When these fall off tree branches and collect in rain gutters, they can quickly join forces with twigs, bird nests, and other pieces of debris to create a clog. A clog prevents rainwater from flowing through the gutter, ultimately forcing the gutter to overflow. When rain gutters do not channel water to the ground properly, gutter cleanouts may become necessary. Gutter cleanouts are simple-one must climb up a ladder, remove all large pieces of debris, and dispose of them. This clears the clog and allows the gutter to function correctly again. Gutter cleanouts are popular among DIYers, and they are also offered as a professional service by companies such as Orlando Roofs & Gutters. Gutter Guard Installation and Preventing Clogs Another helpful gutter-related service is the installation of gutter guards. These helpful structures are like thin screens that are placed on top of gutters. These screens allow rainwater to flow inside and collect inside the gutters. However, debris such as leaves and branches will not be able to pass through the gutter guards. Additionally, birds will not be able to breach the gutter guards and nest inside of the gutters. Gutter guards come in a variety of materials, including plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel. The process of installing gutter guards is not difficult and usually involves clipping them into place. Property owners may choose to install gutter guards themselves or have a company such as Orlando Roofs & Gutters perform the installation instead. About Orlando Roofs & Gutters Orlando Roofs & Gutters maintains a team of fully trained and insured professionals in the Orlando, FL [ https://maps.app.goo.gl/krBRD5UnTVQXy3ez7 ] area. This experienced workforce allows the company to take on jobs of all shapes and sizes. In addition to gutter brightening, gutter cleanouts, and gutter guard installation, Orlando Roofs & Gutters also provides a wide range of pressure washing services. This allows residential and commercial clients to receive clean, visually appealing property exteriors.
