"We need a funded crime task force coordinator," Decker said.
She added that increased communication with residents is important to understanding their concerns.
"It's important to know exactly what the neighborhood expects," she said.
Born said she believes the council should not stop its initiatives to reduce crime in the area.
"It's time to stop making promises and take action that will really stick," she said.
Due to the lack of pressing legislation, less than five Cantabrigians were present at any time during the meeting.
"People come out when there are pressing issues they want to speak about," Decker said. "There were no major policy issues today."
