Regarding the proposed Budget for the 2025 biennium (2024-2026): -- 38 new employees for the Police Department
seems like a lot. Nationally, more than 20% of 911 calls are related to mental health. Might some of the resources
currently planned for police force growth be better put towards civilian crisis response systems, that send out
mental health professionals (sometimes paired with medics) to respond to behavioral health crisis calls? (examples
of successful programs in Eugene OR; Olympia, WA; Denver, CO). -- The proposed high rate of cost increases of city
services (water, sewer) that residents will pay is concerning. Could some of these revenues be covered by increasing
impact fees on new development? Thanks, Megan
