Hello city council members, In light of the long overdue racial justice movement that is occurring throughout our nation, I would like to know what you, as our council leaders, are doing to support our Black and Brown communities. What actions are you taking now and in the future to support diversity in Newport? I have been exploring the Newport Beach, CA city budget and I am disturbed by the unequal distribution of funding! As a Newport Beach resident, I would like to know the reason it is necessary to fund our police with more funds than community programs or human resources? It seems to me that we should be reallocating more funds into our community. So again, I ask, why is it necessary that the police departments receive more funding than any other area of our community? I appreciate you taking time to explain this to me and clarify your intentions with our city budget.

Dear Newport Beach City Council, My name is Camellia Edalat and I am a resident of Newport Coast. I am writing to demand that the Newport Beach City Council adopt a city budget that prioritizes community wellbeing, and redirects funding away from the police. In 2020, the City of Newport Beach allocated 66.8 million dollars to our police system, an inordinate 31% of our total budget. This is compared to just $12.6 million allocated towards community development. In addition, only $13 million was allocated towards recreation and senior services. The proposed 2021 budget, increases the police fund by 1.46%, while reducing the community development fund by 3.30% as well as reducing both the public works and recreation funding. I demand that the City Council begin meaningfully defunding the Newport Beach Police Department and re -allocate those funds to programs proven to more effectively promote a safe and equitable community: community-based mental health services, substance abuse treatment services, recreation projects, and more. I demand a budget that reflects the actual needs of Newport Beach residents. History has shown that police "reform" is not enough. We must take a hard look at the ways that the current system in place fails to serve --and in fact actively harms --our community, and come together to reimagine the role of police in our city.

Dear Newport Beach City Council, My name is Erin Duddy and I am a resident of Newport Beach, District 5. 1 am writing to demand that the Newport Beach City Council adopt a city budget that prioritizes community wellbeing and redirects funding from the police. In 2020, the City of Newport Beach allocated 66.8 million dollars to our police system, almost 1/3 of the total budget. This is compared to just $12.6 million allocated towards community development. In addition, only $13 million was allocated towards recreation and senior services. The proposed 2021 budget increases the police fund by 1.46% and reduces the community development fund by 3.30%, in addition to reducing public works and recreation funding. The City Council needs to begin to meaningfully divesting funds from the Newport Beach Police Department and re- allocate those funds to programs proven to more effectively promote a safe and equitable community: community- based mental health services, affordable housing, substance abuse treatment services, and recreation projects. Our city's budget should reflect the tangible needs of residents. We must take a hard look at the ways that the current system in place fails to serve our community, and work together to recreate and strengthen that system.

Dear Newport Beach City Council, My name is Lauren Oberreiter and I live and grew up in the Port Streets. I am writing you today to ask that the Newport Beach City Council adopt a city budget that prioritizes community wellbeing rather than the police force. Throughout my life, I have had nothing but pleasant interactions with the Newport Beach police. I have met many officers and truly admire their dedication to their work. However, I believe that instead of increasing the police budget, this money could be better spent elsewhere. My parents are slowly becoming seniors and I know that the OASIS senior center has been an important place in their life for the past few years. I would like to see more money going into programs for seniors and children rather than going towards increasing the police budget. I would also like to see more money going towards community and mental health programs for the children and residents of Newport Beach. I was extremely privileged to grow up here but yet I have to acknowledge the struggles that I watched my friends go through while attending school here. It was grueling and cutthroat to say the least. It would have been nice if there had been *free* after school programs that would have brought us closer together. In spirit of the quarantine and everyone getting out into nature, I want to see more money going into recreation and updating NB parks/trails rather than the Police force. This is all to say that I don't advocate totally doing away with the police force. I admire them I really do. But they simply don't need more money in a time like this. It's time to focus on programs that directly impact residents and their mental well being. Rather than just their physical well being.

The proposed 2021 budget, increases the police fund by 1.46%, while reducing the community development fund by 3.30% as well as reducing both the public works and recreation funding. I demand that the City Council begin meaningfully defunding the Newport Beach Police Department and re -allocate those funds to programs proven to more effectively promote a safe and equitable community: community-based mental health services, substance abuse treatment services, recreation projects, and more. I demand a budget that reflects the actual needs of Newport Beach residents. History has shown that police "reform" is not enough. We must take a hard look at the ways that the current system in place fails to serve --and in fact actively harms --our community, and come together to reimagine the role of police in our city.

Dear Newport Beach City Council, I am Alessandro Verniani, and I am a long time resident of East Bluff. I am writing today to respectfully implore the Newport Beach City Council to adopt a budget which redirects funding from the police department and allocates money to specialized programs that prioritize community wellbeing. I believe doing so would make the police department more effective and would redirect calls related to the homeless, or residents with mental health problems, to proper health professionals rather than police. This year, the City allocated a third of its budget, or 66.8 million dollars, to the police system, and only $12.6 million towards community development. In addition, only $13 million was allocated towards recreation and senior services. The proposed 2021 budget increases the police funding by 1.46% while reducing the community development fund by 3.30%. It also reduces both the public works and recreation funding. I strongly encourage the City Council to consider defunding the Newport Beach Police Department and re -allocate those funds to programs proven to more effectively promote a safe and equitable community: community-based mental health services, substance abuse treatment services, recreation projects, and more. This would allow police to focus on law enforcement and allow Newport Beach residents to be treated with the proper care for a host of issues which the police currently have to deal with. Reform must reimagine the role of police in ensuring public safety while also protecting the dignity of people of color in Newport Beach and the quality of life for all residents.

I demand a budget that reflects the actual needs of Newport Beach residents. History has shown that police "reform" is not enough. We must take a hard look at the ways that the current system in place fails to serve --and in fact actively harms --our community, and come together to reimagine the role of police in our city.

Please consider changing this year's budget in order to reflect the actual needs of the Newport Beach community. These funds could be transferred to programs like those mental health treatment, which is an extremely prominent issue across the country and definitely in Newport Beach.

I demand that the City Council begin meaningfully defunding the Newport Beach Police Department and re -allocate those funds to programs proven to more effectively promote a safe and equitable community: community-based mental health services, substance abuse treatment services, recreation projects, and more. I demand a budget that reflects the actual needs of Newport Beach residents. History has shown that police "reform" is not enough. We must take a hard look at the ways that the current system in place fails to serve --and in fact actively harms --our community, and come together to reimagine the role of police in our city. Thank you for your time, Kalusha Brutlag
