The Council has a very difficult job in balancing the budget and I hope the Council can consider the proposed enhancements versus reductions for Orange Elderly Services, libraries, League of CA, SCAG, OCCOG and police & fire which in the short run reduce cost but in the long run could increase cost. Take Elderly Services alone could result in higher fire department cost as older adults would have less folks monitoring their health and wellbeing leading to possible higher 911 calls and emergency services.
