Menifee City speakers emphasize safety investments, parkland purchase and Innovation District plans
Unidentified Speaker 3, a presenter at a Menifee City presentation, said public safety is "number 1" and described recent investments aimed at making the city safer as it grows. "Today, we're top 20," the speaker said of Menifee's safety ranking in California, and added the city is aiming to reach a top-10 ranking in the next five to 10 years.

Unidentified Speaker 3 outlined operational steps tied to that goal: "we just started our own police department just 5 years ago," the presenter said, and noted the city has opened two new fire stations in the last three years with plans to build a fifth fire station "in the next 2 years." The speakers framed these investments as foundational to attracting business and investment to the city.

Unidentified Speaker 1 reported a recent land purchase, saying the city acquired "just under 400 acres of parkland and open space" intended to provide hiking trails and recreational opportunities. That purchase, speakers said, is part of the city's efforts to preserve open space while planning for residential and commercial growth.

On economic development, Unidentified Speaker 2 described an Innovation District concept in a Southern Economic Development Corridor, citing projects such as Brookfield's Business Park and available land, water and energy that the presenters argued make Menifee attractive to businesses. "We're the hub of the region," Speaker 3 added, saying the city is planning for jobs that will serve current and future residents.

Speakers also emphasized civic engagement programs, including a Menifee masters series for local realtors and a citizens academy that city presenters said funnels graduates into volunteering and local boards. Unidentified Speaker 4 said community pride is visible in clean streets and low graffiti, framing resident involvement as evidence of civic health.

The presentation contained forward-looking goals but recorded no formal motions, votes or ordinance actions in the transcript. Speakers repeatedly framed the city's strategy around public safety, infrastructure to manage congestion, parkland preservation and an Innovation District to spur economic growth.

Looking ahead, presenters said they expect to expand the police department, add a fifth fire station within two years and continue developing sites identified for the Innovation District; the transcript does not record firm timelines beyond those statements, nor does it include formal approvals or adopted ordinances.
