How this impacts you
Policing — City council has a say over how many police officers the city hires, what equipment the police get, and how they are trained.
Quality of Roads — City council has the power to improve roads and build new ones through specific projects.
Civil Rights — The city council can pass a discrimination ordinance that prohibits discrimination in access to public spaces and specify which classes of citizens are protected under the ordinance.
