Wait wait wait. I thought we were all on board for DEFUNDING and restructuring the LEO..... unless this extra money is going to fund social workers that respond with officers or somehow provides some sort of equipment to better hold them a holez accountable this can F off
I cannot support a budget that increases funding to an inflated and ineffective police department. It's a shame because there are some great budget initiatives, particularly the Climate Change and Heat Resilience items, but how can you claim to try to improve the quality of life of low-income communities through heat reduction if those communities will still be heavily policed?
I am not in support of the proposed spending budget for the city of Phoenix. I do not support funding the Phoenix Police Department or providing any special protections for those officers. If we want to bring real change and growth, we need to listen to the true needs of our community. The supporters of this bill are not applauding the potential budget spending on police, but rather the arts and climate change and building the park for the people near 55th and Samantha Way. Stop police funding.
I don't support the proposed Phx PD's budget or giving police any potential Covid Relief or surplus funds. The police department is overfunded and lacks transparency and accountability. Invest in our communities by funding programs that assist and enrich Phoenicians' lives: parks, free transportation, housing assistance, rehab assistance, the arts, and climate change mitigation!
As the past chair of the Arts & Culture Commission, I applaud the trial budget that increases the Phoenix Office & Arts and Culture budget by $200,000 -- $110,000 for grants, $60,000 for public art maintenance, & $30,000 to support youth, professional development, & community programs is super! As the past chair of the Historic Preservation Commission, thank you for the additional funds for grants which is greatly needed. W/ no bonds, this is an underfunded program.
mayor. members of city council. the people know the truth. so do you. or, at least you used to know it? listen to the people's direct experiences. the people's needs. and act from that place. clean up this budget. no more money for phoenix police. stop feeding the disease. it's the people's money. be brave. collaborate in building a new world, where everyone has access to health, safety, mobility. including your children. do it! take the leap. feel your heartbeat quicken. pulse, pulse.
I applaud the inclusion of $2.8M for Climate Change and Heat Readiness initiatives to increase the community’s capacity to prepare for and respond to both extreme heat events and the increasing frequency of high temperature days; increase shade canopy and ensure equitable distribution of City services. I support and hope to see the investment in climate, sustainability, environmental and equity leadership and programs continue as a permanent and critical part of the City’s operations.

I am in support of building the park on 55th ave and Samantha. I have 3 children and need a park we can safely walk to. The nearest park is 3 miles away. This is unacceptable. Please build a park for our children .
No new money for the Phoenix PD. Utilize funds freed up from not hiring new cops to pay for the proposed crisis response program. Fund public transport and improve the quality of service provided. Increase the amount of bus & bike only lanes. Fund accessible mental health resources that reach the most vulnerable. Fund addiction and substance abuse resources, fund resources for youth in Black and Brown neighborhoods. Don't use COVID relief money to cover PhxPD bonuses.Stop over relying on PhxPD.
Arts and Culture is critical to the learning, creativity and vitality of our community. I would like to thank the City Council for demonstrating continued dedication to arts organizations & artists through emergency relief funding and prioritization in this budget. These additional funds will allow for more inclusive programming and critical maintenance of public art to enhance wellness & sustainability of our city. Thank you again for your continued support for the Office of Arts & Culture.
I am a resident of district 8 in Laveen. Our population in Laveen has exploded but the number of city parks has not kept up with the growth. There are funds set aside to build our neighborhood park at 55th Ave. and Samantha way, but we need the council to allocate $156,000 for annual maintenance budget Right Now!! We have been waiting for this park for over 12+ years. The kids need it, the neighbors need it and we all need it! Thank you so much! Please build it ASAP!
I would like to advocate for the budget to include the building and maintenance of the city park for the 55th Ave and Samantha Way. There are 2 large schools, many families, and a rapidly growing community in this area. We do not have any city parks for 3 miles and we cannot safely ride our bikes there without crossing busy intersections with our young families. Since there is a surplus in the budget this is the perfect opportunity to make this long awaited park a reality. Thank you!
Please add whatever funding required for construction and maintenance for the Park at Samantha Way and 55th Ave in Laveen. For 14 yrs the Bridlewood neighborhood has been lacking green space and amenities since the park was supposed to fulfill the city requirements. The trial budget lists a huge number of new jobs being funded in a variety of areas. Providing adequate funding for public safety and the Community Advocacy Program is beneficial to keep the city peaceful and secure
I fully support the creation of an Office of Heat Response and Mitigation, the food systems program, the addition of funds conduct GHG inventories and provide modeling and analysis regarding air quality to assist with implementing the City's newly created Climate Action Plan, the additional Parks funding to add staff for a citywide tree inventory and database, the Cool Corridors Program, and the creation of the office of equity and inclusion.
As a resident of District 4 and food systems advocate, I applaud the inclusion of $300K in funding to Environmental Programs to fund a Program Manager to oversee food programs and carry out the implementation of the Phoenix Food Action Plan. I and my colleagues support this important investment and hope to see the investment in food systems personnel continue as a permanent and important part of the Environmental Programs operations. Thank you.
Unacceptable, PHX PD is one of the most violent and harmful in this country. NO pay raises for phx police! No COVID relief money to pay police bonuses! No bonuses to cops involved in the SAU! No to 75 new civilian positions for Phoenix police! Phoenix police should cut the number of officers employed by the department and reallocate that money to:
Mental health resources in Black and Brown neighborhoods
Resources for youth in Black and Brown neighborhoods
Free public transportation
On behalf of Pinnacle Prevention providing food systems services and support statewide and in the City of Phoenix we applaud the inclusion of $300K in funding to Environmental Programs to fund a Program Manager to oversee food programs and carry out the implementation of the Phoenix Food Action Plan. We support this important investment and hope to see the investment in food systems personnel continue as a permanent and important part of the Environmental Programs operations.
Please add the park at 55th ave and Samantha in district 8 to the budget.
