Budget Update: Safety and Accountability Must Come First
Apr 04, 2026, 9:36 PM • Bien Doan
Summary
The City Council approved the Mayor’s March Budget Message, setting the stage for a balanced budget by June. The official supports prioritizing public safety and core services, including reinstating the Emergency Medical Response program with a Med 30 field coordinator to enhance narcotics oversight and emergency response. They strongly opposed allowing RVs in mobilehome communities, successfully removing that proposal to protect residents' stability. The official also highlights the need for accountability and cost-sharing with Santa Clara County regarding homelessness services, urging clear tracking of City expenditures on services outside its jurisdiction to reduce budget strain and improve intergovernmental coordination.
