Brian Wilson, resident, expressed concern that Measure Y funding might be used for purposes other than fire and police, and suggested prioritizing Station 7 in the first year. Dr. Jeni-Ann Kren, resident, emphasized that Measure Y was presented as a general tax, not a special tax, and argued that funds should not be exclusively directed to police and fire, as other city services also need support. During the discussion, the Council emphasized the priority of using Measure Y funds in the first year for public safety, particularly to fill police and fire positions before addressing other city needs. Councilmembers suggested a more detailed breakdown of the spending, particularly within the police and fire departments, to be represented clearly in the pie chart to ensure transparency. There was discussion to accelerate the development of Fire Station 7 to address long response times on the northwest side of Clovis, potentially building it sooner than the planned five-year timeline. The Council also briefly discussed Measure C and how Measure Y funds could support infrastructure needs if Measure C did not pass.

Even if the resident is actively working on it? My husband received a citation today while he was physically working on his vehicle (Attractive Nuisance). Insight would be greatly appreciated, since this seems like a rule that prevents residents from working on their own vehicles on their property. Thank you!
