Top issues during term (20)(Public Safety)
Congolese refugee families denied benefits pending green cards
Downtown pedestrian safety on Main Avenue
Unknown — depends on what crossing improvements are chosen.
Commission compliance with open meeting and public records laws
Noncompliance with records requests could cost individual members personally in civil penalties.

Canyon Park West shooting incident

A 3% raise for firefighters starting October 1, already budgeted for FY2026-27.
