The Crisis Negotiations Unit consists of specially trained officers who are prepared to deal with people who have taken someone hostage or have barricaded themselves within a building or similar setting.

As the City considers projects and programs to be implemented using its allocation, the City wants to ensure that planned uses of the funding incorporate input and feedback from constituents, community-based organizations, and other community stakeholders. As such, you are invited to submit initiative ideas for City consideration using the below form. The form is tailored so that submitted ideas are consistent with the minimum range of funding use options as established by ARPA and U.S. Treasury regulations.

Guests of all ages are welcome to the intergenerational night, featuring a DJ, live visuals, and interactive activities, with snacks from Amba Cafe and tea—on the house.

The CPA Committee will hold a virtual meeting to vote on FY25 allocation percentages and project recommendations for FY25 funding for affordable housing, open space/recreation and historic preservation projects.
