King City City Council meeting recap




The King City City Council was in regular session on Tuesday night, June 12 at City Hall going over a number of different items. Resident Jo Kosher provided concerns about how the cemetery looks. City Manager Steven Adams said that the Cemetery is under the Cemetery District and is not under the jurisdiction of the City, but indicated that he’ll be glad to follow up with the Cemetery and address Kosher’s concerns and maybe someone will get in contact with her. Mayor Mike LeBarre provided some stats to the Council that Police Chief Robert Masterson compiled for him regarding how crime is in King City for the first 6 months of 2018 compared to the first 6 months of 2017 since camera systems were recently installed.
