Top issues during term (19)(Public Safety)
Human Rights Commission appointment controversy
Flock license plate readers
The system costs $21,000 per year — about one-fifth the cost of an additional officer.
Firefighter protective equipment grant
$17,104.50 in new gear fully covered by a state grant — no local match.
School Resource Officer funding
The city funds roughly $278,000 of the $371,000 annual SRO cost; a rebalanced agreement could shift more to the school district.
Proposed e-bike and e-scooter ordinance
Fire Department hydraulic rescue tools
Rescue tools cost up to $74,920 (within the $75,000 budget); radios total $22,842 with $7,000 from a grant.
School resource officer funding split
The city funds roughly $278,000 of the $371,000 annual SRO cost; a rebalanced agreement could shift more to the school district.

Fines go up for repeat animal violations, and pet license fees were updated.
Police join Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force
No direct cost to the city; grant-funded training and possible equipment reimbursements.

Mental health resources for winter
Residential noise ordinance study
