Add monthly public safety reform updates to council meetings

Why This Vote Matters

The council voted to add monthly public safety reform updates to their regular meeting schedule. Starting now, every third Tuesday meeting will include a standing agenda item where the city's police reform task force reports on their progress implementing recommendations. This ensures residents get regular updates on how the city is responding to community calls for police reform changes. The measure passed with broad support in a 5-1 vote, with Councilmember Butt casting the lone dissenting vote and Councilmember Bates absent. This continues the council majority's pattern of supporting governance measures, as most members routinely vote yes on procedural items like this one.
