OCTOBER ICE STATISTICS
ICE detainers were put on 50 suspected illegal alien criminals in Costa Mesa in the month of October 2008 according to a report by the CMPD received by the CM PRESS today.
Thirteen of these were for felonies.
In October of 2007, there were only 25 ICE detainers.
Good work CMPD and ICE! Your efforts are making Costa Mesa a safer and more desirable city.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT OCTOBER 18, 2008
The two High School Foundations
At tonight's City Council meeting, the CM PRESS asked the Council to look into when we might expect to see the required reports from the Costa Mesa High School Foundation (and also the Estancia/TeWinkle Foundation, if this foundation hasn't supplied them).
Mayor Pro Tem Mansoor then asked the City Manager and City Attorney to look into it.

Shopping Carts
The CM PRESS also suggested that we should cut out the $ 40,000 we're spending to return shopping carts to stores and have the stores, instead of citizens, pay for this service.
Mayor Pro Tem Mansoor indicated that a review of the shopping cart policy is in the works.
