RECKLESS $6+ MILLION BALLOT MEASURE

The Police Union and some local citizens are mounting a possible fall ballot measure that would compel San Carlos to:
  1. Maintain a municipal police department,
  2. Return staffing levels to what they were in 2002, and
  3. Pay our officers market rate.
This ballot measure would:
  1. Force San Carlos to hire about 10 more officers,
  2. Give our current officers a 10-20% pay raise,
  3. Cost the city over 3 million dollars, and
  4. Short circuit 3 million in proposed savings.
If this was to get on the ballot and pass, the city council would have to:
  1. Close Every park,
  2. Close the Youth Center,
  3. Close the Adult Community Center
