Public and Human Services

The Public and Human Services Element covers police, fire, schools, library, and human services as essential components of community safety and well-being. It documents current service levels and projects future needs based on population growth to 99,822 residents by 2044, including police staffing needs of 191–232 employees and fire district expansion planning. Human services programs including CDBG grants, MESH housing, embedded social workers, and a new Human Services Grant Program are described alongside coordination requirements with three school districts.
