After reviewing tonight"s agenda there is no <br />staff recommendation for a Study Session on the RWC PD witch absorbs the largest amount <br />of taxpayer's money. We need to have a study session to justify every part of the multi million <br />dollar 30% of the budget. Not only am I requesting to know on what and how the money is <br />being spent also the negative impacts over Policing has on our working class communities. <br />I'm advocating that our Police Department serves equitably ALL members of Redwood City . <br />And for the City Council to take in to consideration last summer's listening sessions for what <br />the community wants. <br />On the topic of "Recommended New Appropriates "& Budget Development we need our <br />sidewalks repaired specially in the Stambaugh / Heller community as opposed to "clean them <br />up". There are elderly residents that un able to go for a walk in their neighborhood because <br />they are afraid of tripping and falling. Having them repaired will bring true permanent equity <br />to this neighborhood versus cleaning them is temporary and performative. Also repairing those <br />sidewalks will bring the area to ADA compliance. <br />Thank you for your time, <br />Marcelene Luna <br />
