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.

Decisions and alternatives

Adopt the Safer Together safety and wellbeing plan

The plan coordinates social development, prevention, intervention and incident response, with implementation and annual reporting directions.

Outcome: Council adopted the plan. It established the associated advisory committee on July 28 and received implementation information on July 29. The City describes ongoing action planning and a fall 2026 investment proposal; these steps do not prove completed delivery.

Review fireworks enforcement, outreach and shared celebrations

Council commissioned options on illegal fireworks sales, coordination between enforcement services, community education, shared celebrations and the associated costs.

Outcome: Council approved the review unanimously, with a Q3 2026 reporting deadline. The vote did not itself amend penalties, expand enforcement or fund celebrations.

Replace ongoing mental-health funding with one-time funding

A budget amendment replaced a $6 million ongoing Mental Health and Addictions Program allocation with $6 million of one-time 2026 funding from the Fiscal Stability Reserve.

Outcome: The amendment passed 9–6 and was incorporated in the budget package. It changes funding continuity and source while retaining the stated $6 million 2026 amount; it does not establish the program's eventual results.

Mike JamiesonAdopt the Safer Together safety and wellbeing planNo
Reject this plan package; the vote does not isolate which elements a member disputed.
Council received the plan's implementation update on July 29, when the meeting that began July 28 continued (confirmed minutes, PDF pages 530–531). The City's vote record dates it to the meeting's start, July 28. Receiving the update adds to the timeline; it is not another adoption, a spending approval or proof of results.

Reject this combined package rather than any one of its individual components.

Mike JamiesonReplace ongoing mental-health funding with one-time fundingYes
Approve the switch from ongoing funding to the specified one-time reserve funding.
Funding duration and funding source change together while the stated 2026 amount remains $6 million; a single support-versus-opposition direction would conceal that tradeoff.
