The basis of this initiative is the provision of services and infrastructure which will deteriorate unless additional funds are available to the City. A scientific survey conducted by Godbe research determined that there is strong support for the new initiative if it supports the following services provided by the City: • Maintaining 9-1-1 emergency response times • Maintaining neighborhood patrol officers • Maintaining library programs for children, adults & families • Enhancing anti -gang and law enforcement efforts • Maintaining fire prevention services • Maintaining school police officers & crossing guards • Repairing potholes/cracks, maintaining residential streets • Maintaining investigation & gang suppression officers Recommendation It is recommended that the Measure Z Oversight Committee accept the Annual Report and use this information to advance the discussion of revenue sustainability for the City.
