Item 37 Passed 10-0
Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to create a “Safe to Call” stakeholder process to explore the development of strategies and policies to provide assurance of safety and protection to victims, witnesses, and vulnerable community members when they call the City for emergency services, and report back to Council.
The Council is looking to launch a "Safe to Call" stakeholder process, directing the City Manager to explore strategies that would reassure victims, witnesses, and vulnerable community members that it's safe to dial up the City for emergency services. The idea is that folks shouldn't have to fear consequences when they reach out for help in a crisis. If approved, the City Manager would gather stakeholders, develop potential policies, and report back to Council.
