Johnson decision and the memorandum issued on May 15, 2025. This should include recommendations for future potential actions; and • A feasibility study on allocating additional funds to support increased LBPD visibility and Quality-of-Life officers for a term determined by the City Manager. Office or Department: Cindy Allen, Councilwoman, Second District; Mary Zendejas, Councilwoman, First District; Megan Kerr, Councilwoman, Fifth District Suggested Action: Approve recommendation.
