Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed25 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a persontheir main goal is to work with all of our partners Partners to try to figure out how to get people out of homelessness
the biggest uh one of the biggest is the police oversight p panel
overwhelmingly the majority of cases that the police oversight panel reviews which are all complaints against our staff
the next uh external transparency uh entity we have is our independent Police monitor
we have truly benefited from the new independent police monitors experience and knowledge
I know there were questions about the Excel power outage um the three-day outage in April
given uh Vision zero traffic injuries and fatalities so in 2023 the last calendar year there were about four fatal crashes
the ebikes have a little bit different nuance and so um we are uh right now our officers that are on the ebikes
to ensure that we are not ending up in one of those scenarios where we do mistake uh somebody with a disability for someone that's just being non-compliant
next I have a couple of questions about The CARE program I'm really excited that that is now up and running
that report comes out of our independent Police monitor who actually uh happens to be right now
related to Traffic Safety and number of crashes um do we have any sense of how those numbers compare
I continue to hear from our our disabled community um and allies that and I see it for myself
and then leave campus and just see these E Scooters thrown about
specific question about E Scooters and you know council member I appreciate
what percentage of care dispatch calls lead to backup calls
all of those green blobs you see there are previous fuel treatments either done by us in the city
through either open space in Mountain Parks or parks and wreck or or utilities or or you know those other departments
we want to explore the adoption and enforcement of defensible space and building fund as P said
tree thinning uh we have uh nearly doubled our Forestry Crew over the over the last few years
we partner with between 25 and 30 local farmers and ranchers to carry out agricultural activities on our system
I had Curiosities just around the climate tax um and how much of that tax is used
the thinking that you already are doing around those who don't have cars or uh people with disabilities
thinking about our water supply and how we need clean water for the city right
I'm hoping that we receive a just a a recommendation or even just an update I um with with the proposed budget and any gaps that are seen
