Honesty Integrity Honor
It's time to reel in the wasteful spending and carte blanc checkbook. Inflation is at an all time high, groceries and yes taxes are straining our finances. But yet, without any remorse or sympathy for the taxpayers and their families NPPD officials and yes our commissioners are opening up our wallets to again create more taxes and spending. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO NEED FOR A NEW POLICE HQ. The PD claims its not big enough, no room for evidence etc. As reported by NPPD 70% of their calls are traffic related and out of all those tickets given out and aLL THAT MONEY SPENT ON TRAFFIC UNIT (35+ MILLION DOLLARS, THE CITY GETS NOT ONE DIME FROM THESE TICKETS. GREAT INVESTIMENT THERE. Now the present HQ is centrally located and easily accessible to the taxpayer, if needed. Response time to most places in the city is under 10 mins. The bldg might be dated . In reality there is no need for this at this time, most of us are living paycheck to paycheck, despite what the city states, your tax bill next yr will skyrocket, spending is out of control, but it is clearly apparent the admin is purposely running this bldg down, look at the roof, damaged in IAN and still not repaired, it is a fortress inside. Need more room, the county wants to consolidate communications, plenty of room there, the garage is unneeded, plenty of room there and in the lot for an addition. Now without taxpayer knowledge or approval the city purchased a 4 acre lot on toledo at tropicare, known as the boonies, on the outskirts of the city, why the secrecy and location. The PD commissioned a study from a very friendly source, had the land cleared surveyed and architectural plans all drawn up, who authorized this and paid for this, we did. If it wasn't so stupid of an excuse, the city says well in 50 yrs we will have 650 officers and will need more room, what a pathetic and stupid thing to say. Since the horror of the past police admin the taxpayers have given in to every whim or idea presented by the police admin, traffic ghost cars 35 million and now they removed the ghost marking they paid for, two Harleys, 5 grand stipend per officer last year, generous contract which makes officers eligible to make over 100K per year. and yes the 75 grand Tahoe's. The list goes on. Let us not forget the new sniper tower and the good humor swat like truck 500 gr and and the list goes on. Now that other PDs have a new station NPPD needs to be bigger and better. They rallied there supporters, wives, GF, badge bunnies etc to attend the last meeting to sway the commissioners vote. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck, we cannot afford higher taxes, this will add $300 or more in taxes to your bill. If we don't support this, no one will quit or fail to respond, we are in a very bad economy and yet the NPPD still wants more. They don't care because they don't live here !!!! Contact your commissioners tell them NO on and new referendums or spending. Its our money, not there's Remember the propose new HQ adds 15 min response time to 41, not taxpayer convenient, but has room for a helicopter and fixed wing aircraft, oops not included in the 122 million, will be back later for these funds. STOP THE FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY BEFORE WE GO BANKRUPT again
#2 In 2006 when the present station was built there were 139 personal, both sworn and civilian, now there is 206 both sworn and civilian a major increase of what 69 personal, does this justify 122 million dollar station, likely not. The communications, Sarasota County wants to take over all dispatch duties, but NPPD wants there own, this adding more personal to the so-called enlarged workforce. Their speculation as to the population and building up until 2027 is merely just that speculation. This is all smoke and mirrors. Anyone who has raised children know the more you give them, THE MORE THEY WANT, this is just the adult version The NPPD reckless and careless spending of our tax dollars needs to stop. The commissioners need to grow a set and stop this nonsense. Previous commissioners let the NPPD go wild and paid for it at the polls, they are scared of a taxpayer uprising in favor of the PD, this is not the case now. The present station is 19yrs old, hardly as they state dated. They openly admit in their little justification letter they have numerous divisions and personal assigned to them, my question is, back in the day 2012, we had 79 sworn personal, yet each shift had only, if lucky 6 cars out. Today we have many many7 more sworn officers and yet, still only 6-8 marked cars out. It is the admin who openly state POLICE IN MARKED CARS PROVIDE FOR A SAFE COMMUNITY, where are the other 100 or so officers, why do we have more unmarked vehs than marked ? Calls for service, simply put every time an officer makes a traffic stop or an encounter it registers as a call, over 70 percent of the NPPD calls are traffic related, there is no hub of crime here. The NPPD is so confident this measure will pass, they purchased the land outside the main are of the city, 2.7 million dollars and just recently hired a planner at 4 million to begin the process, 6.7 million dollars and they have not even received voter approval. Now they plan to sell their present taxpayer owned building to the city for 7 million dollars, how does one sell a taxpayer owned bldg, back to the taxpayers?? Just curious. This is a shell game, one we as the taxpayers will certainly pay for, conservative estimated have the all said and done price at 150 plus million. The economy is out of control, taxpayers are losing their jobs, retirees are on fixed incomes and the interest rates are out of control, but we are going to stomp our feet and demand this new HQ no matter what its costs us the taxpayers. They do not care what it costs most do not live here and do not pay taxes here. Time to say NO, fix what U have
