Note: Like last year, council is getting a head start on next February’s budget hearings by conducting operational reviews of some city departments and their divisions to learn about their staffing levels, 2024 achievements, challenges, and more. This meeting is set to focus on the Department of Public Safety, which includes the following divisions:
- Division of Police

Please note: Unlike most Committee of the Whole meetings, this one will be live broadcast on YouTube.
