Maintaining Lincoln
Survey Results
A recent community survey identified the following priorities:
- Public Safety – Maintaining 9-1-1 response times (94% important), fire protection (92%), police services (87%), and staffing levels for police and firefighters (83%) are top concerns.
- Retaining and Attracting First Responders – 85% of respondents prioritized retaining and attracting qualified firefighters, while 88% prioritized police officers.
- Safe Public Spaces – Maintaining safe places for children to play (87%) and keeping public areas clean and safe (86%) are essential for the community.
- Supporting Local Businesses – 82% of respondents emphasized the importance of retaining and attracting local businesses to maintain a strong economy.
The survey results made one thing clear: maintaining essential services—especially public safety—is a top priority for our community. However, the current budget deficit presents a serious challenge.
Budget Challenges
Right now, we are relying on reserves and limited-term funds from Placer County to maintain critical services such as 9-1-1 emergency response, police protection, and fire services. While this temporary funding has allowed us to avoid immediate cuts, it is not a sustainable long-term solution.
