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. 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.

2. Spread City services throughout the City into neighborhoods.
Library outreach to bring services into other parts of the community. Examples of outreach
events/programs include MISD Literacy Nights, Large city events, library card sign-ups and
Library’s DREAM Delivery service.
Implement recommendations from the Parks and Recreation ADA evaluation to update
facilities to current standards and ensure safe access for all residents.

Code Compliance Block Party Trailer - Code Compliance maintains a trailer which houses tables,
chairs, and a propane grill. This trailer is available for large community service or outreach
events and is used to promote Regulatory Compliance and transport equipment for feeding
large volunteer groups on-site.

Parkland Acquisition - park planners work with the city development team to acquire land in
and around new construction to ensure equal distribution of parkland for new residents.
Walkability - work to ensure all residents live within the industry-standard ten minute (half mile)
walk to a park.
Provide hydration stations (mobile water filling stations) for patrons attending large City events.

3. Maintain ISO Class 1 Rating
Maintain Fire Hydrant Flow Testing Program
