DISCUSSION
• Majority of Measure S funds are committed to enhance
Public Safety services
• Nothing committed to CIP projects
• Given that Measure S currently supports existing staff levels, and any shift toward project-specific work
would result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in staffing, do the Council and Committee believe there is a need
to revisit or modify the current funding allocations?"
