<br />95$69,813 of Public Safety Aid available in 2025. It should be noted that the 2025 Preliminary Budget <br />96 allocates $189,856 of Public Safety Aid towards funding for 2 mental health coordinators. The City has <br />97 applied for state grant dollars to help pay for those positions. While the City has not heard from the <br />98 State regarding the grant, staff is hopeful that grants funds will be made available to the City, which <br />99 would allow for more Public Safety Aid to be used. If the City Council authorizes seeking proposals for <br />100 the comprehensive staffing assessment, staff will bring forward information on the exact details of how <br />101 the study would be funded as part of the Council case asking to enter into the contract with the <br />102 consultant. <br />103 <br />104 Investing in this study will provide valuable insights that will help guide the Roseville Police Department <br />105(RPD) in effectively meeting the evolving public safety needs of our community. The findings will guide <br />106 the department's strategic planning and ensure it is positioned for long-term success. <br />107 <br />108 Additionally, the results of the study could aid the department in seeking grants if additional resources or <br />109 tools are identified that would help improve operational efficiencies. These opportunities could help <br />110 offset future costs and provide supplemental funding to implement any recommendations from the study. <br />111 <br />112 Staff Recommendations <br />113 Staff recommends that the Council approve the Roseville Police Department's request to solicit <br />114 proposals for a comprehensive staffing assessment. This assessment will help ensure that the <br />115 department’s operations are aligned with community expectations, best practices, and the city's overall <br />116 mission, while positioning RPD to effectively meet current and future public safety needs. <br />117 <br />118 Requested Council Action <br />119 Approve the Roseville Police Department's request to solicit proposals for a comprehensive staffing <br />120 assessment. <br />121 <br />122 <br />Erika Scheider, Chief of Police <br />Prepared by: <br />None <br />Attachments: <br />123 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Qbhf!63!pg!65 <br /> <br />
