5 issues in public safety with medium priority
Police Technology: Tasers, License Plate Readers, School Zone Cameras, Urban SDK
Commissioner Martin pushed on $570,000 budgeted for license plate readers and the shortage of patrol cars; the city manager confirmed 18 cars on order and ongoing talks with Enterprise about funding more.
School zone speed camera program
The city accepted a $112,000 state grant for education, engagement, and enforcement against speeding and aggressive driving — at zero cost to taxpayers.

Peace Month and gun violence awareness
The city declared June 2026 Peace Month, pairing it with National Gun Violence Awareness Month. Events include the Walk for Peace, a peace garden memorial with QR-code videos honoring victims, and orange flags for each life lost.
Police crime statistics defense
The police union president pushed back on past criticism, citing big crime drops — homicides fell from 15 in 2023 to 6 in 2025 and auto thefts down 46%.
