FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

STRATEGIC PRIORITY:

PROVIDE A SAFE COMMUNITY

We’re committed to making Public Safety a priority by investing in facilities, equipment,
personnel, and training, and by partnering with the local healthcare community.

The Council will require quality neighborhood design aspects like sidewalks, low speed limits,
and street lighting that foster community pride and safety for the neighborhood residents.

Finally, the City Council will work toward decentralizing city services and amenities across the
city. Neighborhood pride and safety will follow.

Guiding Principles: Noteworthy Essentials, Together as One

Goals:

1. Complete the new Police Headquarters and Joint Training Facility
• These two facilities are on track for completion in the fall of 2024.

2. Foster quality neighborhood design aspects that encourage passive surveillance,
sidewalks, slow vehicle speeds, adequate lighting, and community pride.
• Proactively create environments to encourage neighbors to look out for one another;
more pedestrian travel, and therefore slower movement of passing vehicles;
streetlights and storefronts with neutral lighting.
• Upgrade security cameras in the City Parks for more efficient and prompt Police
response; improve guest safety.

3. Spread City services throughout the City into neighborhoods.
• Library outreach to bring services into other parts of the community.
• Implement recommendations from the Parks and Recreation ADA evaluation to
update facilities to current standards and ensure safe access for all residents.
• Acquire parkland in and around new residential development areas for equal
distribution of park facilities for new residents.
• Provide hydration stations (mobile water filling stations) for patrons attending large
City events.
