BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This presentation is intended to provide the City Council with objective information regarding the potential creation of a Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD), including the statutory process required to establish a district, eligible uses of CCPD funding, potential revenue sources, and the financial and operational considerations associated with implementation. The presentation does not advocate for or against the creation of a CCPD. Rather, it is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the policy, financial, and governance issues the Council would need to evaluate should it choose to further explore this option.
As part of that discussion, the presentation outlines both the potential benefits and tradeoffs associated with a CCPD, including the opportunity to create a dedicated funding source for crime prevention and public safety initiatives, as well as the potential impacts to existing sales tax allocations, economic development corporation funding, contractual obligations, and other long-term community investments. The purpose of bringing this item before the City Council is to ensure that policymakers have a clear understanding of the steps involved, the primary considerations that must be addressed, and the secondary and tertiary impacts that could result from the creation of a CCPD before determining whether additional analysis or future action is warranted.
