Constituent Services understaffed and without a vehicle

Summary

The constituent services division is down to one person, Pearl Campbell, who is driving her personal vehicle to community meetings across the city because the police department reclaimed the office's vehicle. Council members want a vehicle assigned and are weighing whether to add a position.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Adding a vehicle and possibly a second staff person would come out of the FY27 budget — cost not yet specified.

✅Who benefits

Residents who call 311 or show up at council meetings with complaints would get faster, more reliable follow-up.

⚠️Who could be affected

Ms. Campbell is currently using her own vehicle with no backup staffing, and residents may wait longer for help.
