2) The Mayor is proposing a 5.9% DECREASE in the police budget from last year. See https://www.santafenm.gov/media/files/CityofSantaFe-FY20RecommendedBudget.pdf

The City spent $28,092,621 in FY 2013/2014 (i.e. 7 years ago) and the Mayor's proposal for FY 2020 is $27,678437. Of course officers received raises and their medical went up in that time, so we are clearly moving in the wrong direction.

3) I am personally advocating for a 20% increase in police budget. They have plenty of money for their pet projects and for the water company to be an inefficient mess, while the business owners are projected to collect $112 million in GRT from our customers. The City is projecting to collect $377 million in revenues.

This is about priorities. Some other things are going to need to be cut, but we need for get back to the basics!

George

Prior to our current mayor, we had a City staff person named Andrew Valdez on a scooter patrolling the railyard (during the daytime) and he kept all of this bad behavior in-check. And there was also hired private-security that checked the railyard and park in the evening.

The current administration no longer provides this security funding. And I do not know if the skateboard park ever had security (other than an occasional police officer driving by).

But Andrew who we call the Railyard Chief (because he is Native American) still works for the City parking division and we should ask for him to be reinstated as a security chief for the Railyard. He was excellent at kindness when kindness was needed, and stern behavior when tougher measures were needed. He is a sophisticated person who managed the Railyard from north to south very well.

In the skateboard park, we definitely need security now, and a location for homeless in the daytime….”One-Door” has been meeting for two years in pursuit of a healthy homeless campus.
