It is troubling to me that <br /> an agreement hasn't been made with the PPD for their salaries to be on par with neighboring agencies. It is even more <br /> troubling that they are having to lower their standards to hire new officers because our pay is lower than other city <br /> police departments. For the 30+years that I have lived here, Pleasanton has been known for their high public safety <br /> record with top notch police officers. I shudder to think what our department and safety record will look like with <br /> officers that don't meet the standards our department has set for the last several decades. <br /> Additionally, clean water is an absolute necessity for our residents. I sell real estate and this is a MAJOR concern for <br /> people considering a move to Pleasanton.While projects that maintain historical buildings and recreation projects are <br /> great for kids and teenagers, these top two priorities for the residents of Pleasanton, I feel, must come first. Please listen <br /> to the residents and have another discussion tonight before voting on the budget. I thank you in advance and appreciate <br /> all you do for the great city of Pleasanton. <br /> O., <br /> ,3incerely, <br /> Amy Mouch <br /> 1 <br />
