Exercise caution when opening attachments or <br /> clicking links,especially from unknown senders. *** <br /> Dear Mayor Brown,Vice Mayor Balch, Members Testa,Arkin, Niebert, City Manager and City Attorney, <br /> I have been following much of the information recently made available and would like to express my concerns. <br /> I cannot support any decision to approve the budget as presented. I am opposed to spending$10.6 million on skate park <br /> and century house. Pleasanton already has two skate parks and neither is used heavily. Investing further in skateparks <br /> makes no sense. <br /> I would also like to recommend that the century house and land be sold to an entity that will restore it vs continuing to <br /> dump money into it with zero return. <br /> We have two serious issues facing our town. Clean water without PFAS contamination and our local law enforcement <br /> which is seriously understaffed. Police department personnel need to be compensated same as surrounding similar <br /> cities not less than those cities. <br /> I urge you to not pass this budget and go back to discussions on how to address the most important priorities in our <br /> community. Which is after all why you all were elected, to focus on safety for all residents and clean water for all <br /> residents anything less is abandonment of your duties. <br /> incerely, <br /> Veronica McKnight <br /> 1 <br />
