1.  Annual Review with the Highway Safety Committee
Submitted by Highway Safety Committee Chair / Police Chief Brian Levesque
Per Town of Merrimack Charter Section 6-6, at least annually, there should be an annual review with the Highway Safety Committee.  This agenda item is to highlight the committee’s significant actions, current projects, anticipated actions, and to raise any concerns the Council should know or could act on.

Public Hearing

1.  Public Hearing – Group Petition Received “Stop Sanctuary Cities”
Submitted by Albert “Max” Abramson
The Town Council will hold a public hearing to receive public input on a group petition received to place the following petition article on the regular April ballot, pursuant to Charter Article 10-1,B:
“To see whether police officers shall be permitted to enforce federal immigration laws, comply with immigration detainer requests, or contact federal immigration authorities to conduct a background investigation on anyone arrested on evidence of any other crime. No school district nor town official shall establish "Sanctuary Cities" policies that prevent immigration laws from being enforced by any police officer nor federal immigration officer in the performance of their job. Four towns, Cheshire County, and the City of Manchester have enacted "Sanctuary City" policies for illegal immigrants without notifying the general public beforehand.
A yes vote is to stop our community from being turned into a Sanctuary City.”

This petition was amended at the Deliberative Session and we will be holding the hearing to discuss the amended language; “Merrimack Police Department shall maintain Standard Operating Procedures consistent with NH State Police “Fair and Impartial” policing practices”.
