Impact analysis
Roughly $20–25 million a year in new revenue if Issue 16 passes; otherwise a projected $3.5 million general fund deficit by 2029.
If Issue 16 passes, neighborhoods get speed enforcement, blight crews, pools, and bigger safety forces; if not, savings come from reduced services.
Without Issue 16, city workers face layoffs and residents lose pools, youth programs, recycling, and blight services.
