Top issues during term (14)(Public Safety)
Police Fleet Upfits
$142,890 for three cruisers, within the $168,000 budgeted for 2026.
Cybersecurity staffing and compliance mandates
A new full-time hire plus roughly $150,000 next year for server replacements — with server prices roughly tripled because AI data centers are buying up all the memory.
Fire Division lieutenant staffing plan
Future capital needs could include a substation and squad platform vehicle, plus ongoing maintenance on an aging light fleet.
Dispatch Radio Console Replacement
$219,208 from the General Fund, transferred through the Police-Fire-Street CIP Fund.
Neighborhood traffic safety on Koch Avenue
Minor cost for signage and tree trimming, not yet quantified.
Lightning detection at city parks
Municipal Court Supplemental Funding
About $149,584 in added 2026 spending, not budgeted this year.
Municipal Court staffing and funding strain
Restoring court staffing could cost roughly $500,000 to $600,000 against a court budget already running thin on fines and fees.
Fire department equipment and training funded by grants and donations
Both items are under $50,000 each and already budgeted; exact figures weren't stated.
Police union contract, 2026-2028
Not stated in the record beyond the corrected $1,910 Stoney Springs property figure.
Fire Station 2 kitchen remodel
$45,657.67, within the $50,000 budgeted in the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan.
Liquor permit process change
Public Comment Rules Update
police chief appointment
No new spending is spelled out in the report—Sucher’s pay and any transition costs would presumably come out of the police department’s existing budget.
