2.  Identify, discuss, and address emerging and chronic crime and disorder problems.
3.  Utilize the problem-solving model to develop comprehensive strategies to combat identified crime and disorder problems.
4.  Discuss and address previous and newly identified community concerns.
5.  Provide feedback and follow-up information on previous meeting's discussions, identified problems, and implemented strategies.
