Oroville council discusses levy to bolster police funding; options to be studied
Summary
Council members discussed law enforcement budget pressures and the possibility of running a levy to help fund the police department, but no formal decision was made — staff and council will explore options further.
Mayor Naillon and council members reviewed law enforcement budget details and discussed current expense funding pressures during the Nov. 12 workshop. Members raised the possibility of pursuing a levy to provide additional funding for the police department, but the minutes record only discussion and direction to investigate options rather than final action.
The workshop text does not specify levy structure, timeline, estimated revenue, or whether legal counsel or county election calendars were to be consulted. The council agreed that options need to be looked into for future consideration; staff follow-up will be required to develop concrete proposals for council review and any formal voter measures.
