Consistent with Council's unamimous action in October of 2005 (document #200510506 attachment A) the City's fire staffing level and accordingly the Fire Department's Table of Organization will be 841 firefighters. In order to continue to achieve this staffing level recruit classes should be added as needed throughout the biennium commencing with a class in January of 2007. 2.

That the environment including land, air and water, is made a priority in Cincinnati by establishing an Office of Environmental Quality to oversee issues related to the overall well being of the environment. The configuration and scope of this office should be consistent with the recommendations from Mayor Mallory and Councilmember Crowley (attachment B) who established an OEM Planning Group to provide expert guidance on how this office will be structured. 4. Consistent with City Council's unanimous action in October 2005 (document #200510598 attachment C) the City's policy of allocating 1.5% of the general fund each year for Human Services programs will be restored in the 2007-2008 budget. 5. The number of internal auditors should be restored to a full compliment of 6, which will require the addition of 2 auditors. 6.

MOTION, dated 6/12/2006, submitted by Councilmember Monzel, that the following policy items be included in the 2007-08 Policy Budget: The City budget will reflect Council's commitment to making the core service of Public Safety (police & fire) its number one priority. Add an additional 100 police officers (approximately 20 per district) to put more "boots on the ground" to combat the City's growing crime problem. Maintain the property tax roll back to a level consistent with previous years' collections. Implement a program of managed competition for all areas of public service delivery undertaken by the City of Cincinnati. This would include renewal of the current street sweeping contract, which in the past has proven that unleashing market forces improves the delivery of essential public services. Develop a formula whereby a certain percentage of any budget year's surplus must go into three distinctive funds; Building Demolition, Police Visibility Overtime and Pension stabilization. The city will properly maintain city-owned properties to the same set of standards it applies to private property owners. The city will aggressively fight any further effort to locate or expand facilites that house sexual predators within the city. Furthermore, the City will take whatever legal action is necessary to stop the state from paroling offenders in Cincinnati that offended in other areas of Ohio. The City will establish a "Broken Windows taskforce" comprised of building inspectors that can be deployed to troubled areas of the citiy for expedited enforcement of building code violations.
