Confirmed 2025 budget minutes, PDF pages 593–594 · reviewed Oct 30, 2026Why this decision is included
This records an explicit current Council safety investment and its mix of enforcement and outreach. It is not scored on the prevention spectrum because the indivisible package does not isolate community prevention from enforcement resourcing.
How votes are grouped: Choices within this annual budget share one family per measure. Separate amendments and duplicate tabulations cannot multiply the budget’s influence; unscored choices add no weight.
What Yes meant
Approve the combined transit security, staffing and outreach allocation and reporting direction.
What No meant
Reject this combined package rather than any one of its individual components.
Alternatives and outcome
Adopt the specified package or retain the proposed budget without this amendment; members could propose a different mix of security and support.
The amendment passed 9–6. It authorized a combined allocation and requested a Q3 2026 report; this vote alone does not establish hiring, deployment or improved safety.
adoptedA recorded vote or adoption does not establish that a project or service was delivered.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
