The committee held a working session focused on a presentation of budget actuals and a deep dive into the methodology surrounding police services unit (PSU) contracts. Discussions centered on the allocation of public safety millage funds, the financial impact of providing services to both contract and non-contract areas, and the transparency of cost calculations. The members debated the balance between mandated service levels and community-specific service needs, the financial sustainability of current dispatch cost allocation models, and the challenges of maintaining full staffing levels while managing budget gaps. The group also examined historical investment data and the role of general fund support in filling PSU deficits.
