  • Park Safety Program Progress Report & Future Considerations
    Park Safety Program Progress Report & Future Considerations 1 Background 1.23 Achieve rating of “Very Satisfied” or “Satisfied” with the “Feeling of Safety in Parks” greater than or equal to the top 10% of the national benchmark cities as measured in the Community Survey In October 2018, a pilot Parks Security Program was implemented using the existing G4S contract; program concluded in late June 2020. At October 1st, 2020 WSS, City Staff was directed to evaluate and begin work on developing a long-term park security solution and re- activate the G4S Park Security Program to serve as a “security services bridge” until the permanent solution could be enacted. 2 Update: Security Bridge Timeline • Since last WSS, work began on re-implementation of G4S Park Security Program. • At last WSS meeting, the estimated timeline for full-scale G4S deployment with the same level of service delivery and coverage was approximately 1-month so that training, equipping, and appropriate staffing could be re-achieved. • Full-scale security deployment back into the parks is set to begin on November 5, 2020. It is believed this will have an immediate and positive impact on the feeling of safety in our parks. • Estimated cost for 1-year (November 1, 2020 – October 31, 2021) of G4S security services is: $441,965 3 Update: Park Security Program • Since last WSS, initial planning meeting(s) and consultation meetings have been conducted within & between the Police Department, Human Resources, Parks and Recreation, and Human Services. • In an assessment of needs and costs, a LOW financial estimate to bringing back a full-scale Park Ranger Program would cost 1.5 to 2 million dollars (salary, benefits, equipment, vehicles).

  • US Appeals Tax Sentence for Beanie Baby Maker
    U.S. appeals tax sentence for beanie baby maker » News and Tr... http://www.newsandtribune.com/community-news-network/x4... News and Tribune February 13, 2014 U.S. appeals tax sentence for beanie baby maker By David Auerbach CHICAGO — The Justice Department Thursday appealed the sentence of H. Ty Warner, the billionaire creator of Beanie Babies plush toys who got probation, not prison, for evading taxes on money hidden in a Swiss bank account. Warner faced 46 months to 57 months in prison under nonbinding guidelines when he was sentenced Jan. 14 by U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras in Chicago. Prosecutors, who urged Kocoras to impose some prison time on Warner, Thursday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago to review his sentence. Kocoras sentenced Warner, the founder of toymaker Ty Inc. and Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts, to two years of probation and 500 hours of community service. Warner pleaded guilty to evading almost $5.6 million in taxes on more than $24.4 million in undeclared income on accounts that held as much as $107 million. Warner's evasion was the largest of more than 100 filed in a five-year crackdown against taxpayers and enablers who used offshore accounts to cheat the Internal Revenue Service. Prosecutors are concerned that his sentence will affect others around the country, said Bryan Skarlatos, a tax attorney at Kostelanetz & Fink in New York not involved in the case. "The case is important for the Justice Department because it's a very large account and a high-profile defendant, and prosecutors are obviously disappointed that they couldn't get a term of incarceration," said Skarlatos.

  • Perception of Personal Safety in Urban Recreation Sites L
    Perception of Personal Safety in Urban Recreation Sites l Herbert W. Schroeder and L. M. Anderson ABSTRACT: Photograph of 17 urban recreation sites in Chicago and Atlanta were evaluated by college students (n = 68) in Illinois, Georgia, and Michigan, for either perceived securig, scenic qualily, or both. For most raters, high visibilig and developed park features significantly enhanced per- ceived securily. Scenic qualily, on the other hand, was enhanced for the major- ily of evaluators by a high degree of naturalness and vegetation. For both per- ceived safely and scenic qualily, a small minorig of raters held prefeences quite diJierent from the majorily. KEYWORDS: Urban parks, crime, public safely, scenic qualily. AUTHORS: Herbert W. Schroeder is with the North Central Forest Experiment Station; L. M. Anderson is with the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station. Journal of Leisure Research, 1984 Volume 16, Number 2, pp. 178-194. Copyright a 1984 by the National Recreation and Park Associ- ation. Urban parks can provide valuable recreation opportunities for the 70 percent of Americans who reside in cities (USDI 1978). Yet many existing sites are underused, in part because they are often seen as undesirable, threat- ening places where crimes frequently occur ('Jacobs 1961). This article de- scribes an effort to identify characteristics that affect the user's perception of personal safety in public recreation sites. The relation between perceived secu- rity and visual attractiveness will also be addressed, because both factors may be related to visibility in and utilization of park settings (Nasar 1982). 'This investigation was based in part on an informal study initiated in 1975 by Dr.

Ty Warner Charged With Tax Evasion for Allegedly Hiding Funds in Secret Offshore Account With Swiss Bank UBS CHICAGO — The creator of Beanie Babies and other plush animal toys was charged today with federal tax evasion for allegedly failing to report income he earned in a secret offshore financial account he held with UBS, a global financial services firm headquartered in Switzerland. The defendant, H. TY WARNER, was charged in a felony information filed this morning in U.S. District Court. Warner, 69, of west suburban Oak Brook, is the sole owner of TY Inc., a Westmont-based company that designs and sells plush toy animals including Beanie Babies. Warner, who also owns other business interests, will be arraigned in U.S. District Court on a date yet to be determined. Through his attorney, Warner authorized the government to disclose that he is cooperating with the Internal Revenue Service and will plead guilty to the charge. “Regardless of wealth, everyone must pay taxes on all of their income, not just the amount they choose to report. The charge alleges that Warner went to great lengths to hide from his accountants and the IRS more than $3.1 million in foreign income generated in a secret Swiss account.
