As previously noted in this document, approximately 86% of the Police Department's budget is tied to wages and benefits of both sworn and civilian positions. As with most City departments, the Police Department is inherently a very labor- intensive operation. Thus, in any scenario, a significant reduction of the Department budget will necessarily require the elimination of sworn and/or civilian positions. As the staffing numbers in this document illustrate, Iowa City Police Department is already a comparatively lean operation. No regular Patrol Officer positions have been added since 2010, despite robust community growth and increases in calls for service. Specialty community policing, investigative and civilian positions have been added in moderation to further the Council's strategic plan goals and improve core services, such as Animal Services, to the community. Those positions have paid great dividends, but again have not translated to increased patrol operations on the streets of Iowa City over the past decade. With additional community growth expected, and in recognition of increasing calls for service and crimes involving weapons, the City should be extremely cautious when considering any type of immediate defunding scenario. The ramifications on our ability to carry out core public safety responsibilities as a local government could be significant and have negative consequences for our residents and community. 5.1 "Defund Model" (pages 79-80 from 2020 Report) - Continued Instead, the City should commit to the recommendations in this plan with the goal of reducing the occurrence of calls for service. With success of this approach, the City should be able to slow or stem the need to add additional patrol staff over the long-term. Any new financial resources, whether through new revenue sources or through property tax base growth, can then responsibly be diverted to other needs in the community. This has essentially been the City's practice over the last decade and intentional budget commitments to social services and community building have been prioritized over expanding Iowa City's patrol operations. While overall City budget resources have increased with tax base growth, the Police Department budget has remained fairly status quo with an average annual increase of 3.6%. Meanwhile, increases in budget capacity have resulted in millions of dollars being deployed for Council initiatives, such as the creation of an Affordable Housing Fund, creation of a Climate Action Division, increasing the minimum wage, increasing aid to non-profits, funding new bike and park master plan projects, launching a Bookmobile service, and important one-time capital investments such as the $2.5 million Guidel-ink Center contribution. Example City Investments in Prevention Since 2020 • $2.5 million in Guidelink support • $1 million in Mobile Crisis expansion support • $ 1 million in new DVIP shelter support • $1 million in Free Medical Clinic service expansion • $2 million in Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County new location support • $1.8 million in 16 duplex unit acquisitions for affordable home ownership in South District • Significant investment in multiple affordable housing projects including CrossPark Place, 501 Project, Low-income housing tax credit projects, down-payment assistance programs, rental rehabilitation and property acquisition projects for non-profits agencies, eviction prevention, risk mitigation pilot, and more Example City Investments in Prevention Since 2020 (cont) • Recently announced $4 million of support for underestimated business investments •Over $2 million in direct support to residents through ARPA • Millions in local non-profit support through federal and local sources, including more than doubling General Fund support for the Aid to Agency program • Expanded Social Justice and Racial Equity Grants benefitting multiple non-profit agencies • Improved services to our homeless population through street outreach partnerships, winter shelter funding and building improvements to the Shelter House in addition to Housing First projects • Investment in mental health liaison partnerships with CommUnity Mobile Crisis team • Staff expansion in outreach and support positions including 3.5 civilian outreach and communication staff in public safety •Tens of millions in neighborhood infrastructure, parks and open space, trails and neighborhood improvement projects FY 24 Budget / Strategic Plan Council dedicated nearly a year to the development of the FY2023-2028 Strategic Plan in 2022. Success in accomplishing plan goals will require focus and discipline. Staff's budget proposal as a whole attempts to devote resources to meet the visions and specific action items. The following vision statements speak to staff budget recommendations in both Police and Fire public safety operations. Safety and Well-Being Vision Includes: "Community member receive emergency response services promptly and welcome responders as problem-solvers" Resources: People Vision Includes: "Leadership and elected officials ensure sufficient staff levels to maintain baseline services, weather vacancies or emergencies, protect against employee burnout, and add capacity to act on special assignments and strategic, long-term initiatives" Service Impact of $ 1 . 6 Million Reduction Loss of all community policing positions Service reduction • Relationship building - Mandatory online reporting • Creative problem-solving - Private property accident response • Data-driven collaborative decision-making - 24/7 front desk access Significant reduction in investigations capacity ° Special event staffing • Service to victims/families • Prevention (gun crimes, human trafficking, etc.) Diminished emergency response • Increased reliance on County and State law ° Natural disasters enforcement for investigation needs ° Major public safety incidents Reduced intergovernmental assistance Continued heavy overtime reliance • State contractual OT (traffic /OWI, tobacco, alcohol) - Higher cost of service delivery • Sporting events (UI, ICCSD) - Higher staff injury / burnout /turnover rates Inability to offer new services ° More difficult officer recruitment Dedicated co-responder model with mental health - Difficulty with retention of City/ Police leadership liaisons positions STAFF PRESENTATION CONCLUDED 0110 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROJECT MANUAL AND ESTIMATED COST FOR THE 2023 WATER PAVEMENT PATCHING PROJECT IN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA TO ALL TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, AND TO OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS: Public notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, will conduct a public hearing on the Project Manual, including the plans, specifications, contract, and estimated cost for the construction of the 2023 Water Pavement Patching in said city at 6:00 p.m. on the 41h day of April, 2023, said meeting to be held in the Emma J.
