    Our money should be going to the community to help with housing and shelter and free transportation! Not police.

    If the crisis response program is implemented, the money must come from the police department, not the surplus. The surplus needs to go to our community needs and safety. This program will reduce the number of calls police respond to, so that money shouldn’t be kept by the police department, it should pay for the crisis response program. And the surplus funds should be used for direct community needs.

    The city needs to move $15 million from the police budget to help pay for a new community driven crisis response program completely separate from Phx PD and invest in a five year plan. The budget should also move $10 million from the Phx police “crime suppression squad” now that marijuana is recreational in AZ as most of that unit has been spent policing the use of marijuana. There are so many underfunded needs in the community and it’s time to reinvest those funds. #DEFUNDTHEPOLICE

    Hello Phoenix Councilmembers, I am personally reaching out as a community leader to encourage you to consider renewed funding and support the expansion of the highly successful HUUB/Phx Biz Connect platform in Phoenix. With more than 400+ businesses using the platform in the first month and with an expected growth of 1,000 businesses by year end, it would be a shame to not renew this community resource and further invest in our businesses success.

    Thank you.

    Hello Phoenix Councilmembers, I am a HUUB advisor. I think it makes sense to continue funding for this platform in Phoenix. Every city should have a tool such as this to help them in times of growth and in times of crisis so we can support one another efficiently and connect easily with leading community experts.

    Thank you for your consideration and continued investment into the Phoenix community and small businesses. - Brenda

    If you're truly invested in supporting local business and entrepreneurs in Phoenix, you'll consider renewed funding and support the expansion of the highly successful, locally-built HUUB/Phx Biz Connect platform. 400+ businesses are using the platform in the first month (!) and with an expected growth of 1,000 businesses by year end...its obviously valuable to MANY in helping them recover. Not to mention that its also gained national recognition by the SBA and White House for its work.

    This is a locally grown tool that has now gained national recognition by the SBA and White House for its work in supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses. It is a highly-effective platform built by local leaders right here in Phoenix.

    HUUB has the support of several local leaders like myself and we encourage you to renew and expand the HUUB/PHX Biz Connect platform for Phoenix businesses. Thank you for your time, consideration and vision in bringing needed resource.

    No new money to Phoenix Police. We need to reallocate the funds towards other services that will better serve the community and not inflict violence and harm, as Phx PD does. The police do not need more money

    So that businesses can continue to get support in this critical time,I am personally reaching out to encourage you to consider renewal and expansion of the PHXbizConnect HUUB platform. As a SMB in Phoenix, this tool has been vital to helping me navigate the pandemic. I believe this platform should be a standard tool for all cities, especially Phoenix.

    Thank you for your leadership in bringing impactful resources to Phoenix people and business. -JK

    Please add the $156,000 needed to maintain the park at 55th Ave and Samantha to the 2021-22 budget. This is an area of extreme growth and we need the City of Phoenix to make that growth responsible and sustainable by building needed infrastructure. We have paid into the impact fee fund to construct this park; please support the maintenance.

    We demand $15mil from PPD (not the surplus) for the new crisis response program. Communities hurt by covid need to get the surplus. The program will reduce the # of calls PD respond to, so that money should be reallocated to the program instead of hoarded by PD. Move $10 mil from the PD “crime suppression squad” NO 75 new civilian positions for PD. FUND Free transportation & bus only lanes -Rehabilitation services & a center in West Phx -Low barrier shelter/ housing support. PubliclyNegotiateMOU

    Please do all that you can as a city council to support the Neighborhood-Organized Community Assistance Program’s initiative to offer first responder services for mental health and other nonviolent crises. This program, given the independence to operate as a truly community run service without interference from police or other first responders, is desperately needed and can easily be sufficiently funded in the long term, simply by reallocating the gross funding currently funneled into the PHXPD.
