She directed staff to provide a Resolution in support for Measure BB at the September 24, 2018 City Council meeting. Components she felt are important to be expressed include City Council's unanimous approval of the placement of Measure BB on the ballot as a new sustainable source of revenue for public safety and other services the City provides that Sacramento cannot take away. She further stated that the resolution is to clearly describe the following: the City's structural budget problems, including the fact that additional cuts to essential services will be needed to balance the budget in future years; the first priority is to improve public safety by adding police officers to assist in patrolling residential neighborhoods and school safety; funds for firefighters, paramedics, and 911 response; and to support the Marine Safety department. She stated, Measure BB is about public safety and protecting the quality of life in Seal Beach and that the voters should know where we stand as a City Council. She further stated, at the upcoming Strategic Planning meeting she intends to request specific goals to evaluate and plan for the following: Opening of the Jack Haley building at the pier as the police substation it was intended to be; adding police officers as soon as possible for more neighborhood patrols, including in Leisure World; and maintaining and improving the essential services we provide to the community. Lastly, she indicated she attended the City of Huntington Beach Safety meeting presented by Supervisor Steele which highlighted that legislation is changing the public safety environment and emphasized the need for Measure BB and the need for additional police officers. Council Member Moore stated that he and Council Member Massa-Lavitt met with the Department of Water and Power regarding resident's concerns of noise and pollution near Leisure World, noting that Seal Beach residents will see an improved skyline after the decommission projects are complete and more efficient equipment is in place.
