Top issues during term (20)(Public Safety)
Rewrite of the city noise ordinance
Misdemeanor enforcement could mean LPD time and paperwork per complaint, but no direct cost figure was given.
Make Safe or Demolish order at 1606 Reo Rd.
Demolition or securing costs are typically charged to the property or assessed against it; no specific figure is available.
Unsafe structure at 6031 S. MLK Jr. Blvd.
Estimated repairs run about $4.98 million, which is why demolition is on the table.
LPD Officer Hiring and Staffing
Adding officers would carry budget implications, though none were specified.
Downtown safety follow-up
Losing a convention costs downtown hotels, restaurants and shops real revenue.
Code compliance treatment of fire victim
The city collected fees the speaker says were for services never rendered.
Silver Bels Celebration fireworks license
Standard annual permitting cost to the city; no new expenses were discussed.
City Homelessness Response and Overnight Shelter
Funding includes a $100,000 county housing and homelessness millage contribution, opioid settlement dollars and HRCS general fund money, with long-term annual costs still undefined.
Trash violation fee appeal process
The $550 in fees stays on the property owner.
Federal and state grants for police and fire departments
The federal grant covers 75% of the dedicated detective and crime analyst's cost, so the city funds about a quarter of it.
NOVA Lansing Housing Initiative
The first year of operations is budgeted at $952,000, with $1.3 million earmarked for construction.
LPD Indigenous People's Day Celebration Donation
No city dollars — this is donated money going straight to event performers.
District Court treatment grants
Grant funding would offset costs of treatment, testing, and supplies for court programs.
Support for State Homeless and Tenant Bills of Rights
Entheogen decriminalization request
Dangerous building enforcement — four properties
If the city demolishes, costs become a lien on the property and a potential burden on the tax rolls.
Firefighter Staffing Progress
Roughly $270,000 a year plus $150,000-$300,000 in new spending requests for the FY 2027/2028 budget.
Park safety concerns
Enforcement tickets may bring in fine revenue but also carry patrol costs.
Citizen Complaint Process
Public Safety Complex and fire stations timeline
Reported on budget under the voter-approved public safety bond.
