Top issues during term (6)(Public Safety)
Industrial Dust and Pollution
Residents are paying out-of-pocket for frequent car washes and home cleaning due to the dust.
Municipal Employee Excellence and Professional Development
Recognized staff actions saved taxpayer funds by avoiding outside contractor costs.
juvenile crime trends
Expect to see more tax dollars funneled into youth programs and increased police resources to handle the uptick in incidents.
wildfire response
This fire could mean costly damage to homes and infrastructure, plus a big bill for firefighting efforts.
Public Safety Radio System Upgrade
Involves $14.9 million in debt financing repaid over seven years, with roughly half of the radio upgrade costs offset by partner entities like EMS and Citibus.
police-involved shooting
Taxpayers will likely foot the bill for the inevitable internal investigations and potential legal costs associated with the incident.

Motions Bruegel personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
