Top issues during term (11)(Public Safety)
Emergency Medical Services Interlocal & Grant Agreements
Maintains existing shared funding model (two-thirds/one-third) for EMS services.
Lawsuit Against County Officials
Undisclosed; taxpayer funds will pay for outside counsel.
National Weather Service Communications Equipment on South Mountain Tower
Building a separate structure could increase costs for the federal agency, but would protect county assets from unauthorized access.
Courthouse Generator Installation
Covered within generator project costs.
public safety enforcement
The cost of the program is managed through existing sheriff's office operations and school district collaboration.
Sheriff's Office Mental Health Program Funding
Adds $75,000 in external philanthropic funding to county mental health initiatives.
School Resource Officer Safety MOUs
No direct new funding allocated; utilizes existing law enforcement and school district resources.
County-Wide Burn Ban
Law Enforcement Center Construction
Involves minor reallocations within existing owner, contractor, and design contingency funds totaling around $23,000 without increasing the overall project bottom line.
Emergency Dispatch Phone System Upgrade
$12,919.00 total cost, shared 60-40 with the city.
emergency declaration
This move opens the door for state and federal grants, which helps keep the city from footing the entire bill for the cleanup.
