The original 10-year expenditure plan allocated $1 million to police vehicles. The latest amendment, the one that includes extra patrol cars and drones, calls for $8.6 million to police vehicles.
Going forward, the Chula Vista Police Department will use Measure A tax revenues to buy 20 patrol cars and expand its drone program.
The City Council keeps amending the expenditure plan, and the oversight committee keeps approving the amendments. They have used the money to purchase ambulances for the fire department and change some of the positions they hire for. Yet, even with the Measure A money, Hall is concerned about the level of spending on public safety at the expense of other municipal services.
“Is what the city of Chula Vista doing with public safety sustainable, and at what costs?” he said. “What are we giving up in the rest of our city government that’s going by the wayside? Do the streets still get fixed?”
