Staff factored in savings from staffing vacancies, high interest earnings and deferred maintenance. Constantin noted that these savings may be impacted if the vacancies are filled or the town needs to pay off more overtime than expected.
“History would say we project deficits and end with surpluses,” Constantin told the council.
After some discussion, the council amended its strategic priorities around homelessness and transportation, saying the town would “continue to engage community service providers to meet the individualized and complex needs of unhoused residents, while pursuing a more coordinated regional approach.”
This is in line with Mayor Rob Moore’s goal to tackle homelessness in Los Gatos. At the meeting, he said that there were about 25 to 30 unhoused residents in town. He proposed using up to $150,000 from the town’s opioid settlement funding to help unhoused people with substance use disorders.
Regarding transportation, the council agreed to “pursue tangible bicycle and pedestrian improvements and explore innovative pilot solutions to mitigate traffic congestion.”
Based on residents’ comments, the council also prioritized the installation of a public bathroom downtown.
