Top issues during term (8)(Public Safety)
Library Board Bylaws and Governance
None.
police union formation
This could mean changes to how police pay and benefits are decided, potentially impacting the city's budget.
police unionization
Your tax dollars could be affected as contract talks get more complex.
police hiring
This hiring push could mean more officers on the street, but it also means the city has to pay for training and salaries.
police department dissolution
Taxpayer money is being investigated for misuse, and the city's financial future is uncertain without its police force.
police conduct
No direct financial impact mentioned, but could affect police training budgets.
police union negotiations
This could mean more taxpayer money going to police salaries and benefits.
police union contract
This contract is going to cost taxpayers more, but hopefully, it means better policing.
