Value: Housing Opportunities: We call on the city to preserve the city's Housing Opportunity Ordinance and continue to <br />collect in -lieu fees from developers that choose not to build affordable housing. <br />Value: Prioritize Mental Health and Vulnerable Communities: We call on the city for funding for mental health service <br />providers who are working with low-income, marginalized immigrant communities. We need to increase outreach efforts <br />so that those most vulnerable know: they are not alone, we are here to help. <br />Value: Preserving Public Lands for Community Benefit: We call on the City to allocate $350,000 to partner with local <br />non-profit organizations experienced in community outreach, to engage local residents for input, to inform development on <br />public land. All developers on public land should be required to incorporate this guidance from local residents. <br />Value: Transparency and Accountability in Policing: Cut SAPD's budget and use the savings to fund the above <br />values and demands, which have positive impacts on the community and contribute to a healthier city. Due to impacts of <br />COVID-19 on the city's tax revenues, we understand deep cuts are expected in next year's budget. Yet SAPD's proposed <br />budget is increasing by 7% - an increase of $25 million in just the last 3 years. This is unjust and inequitable. <br />Best, <br />Maria R. <br />
