"detail": "The city council is considering an ordinance that would add crimes related to possession and use of controlled substances in public places. The amendment emphasizes diversion and referral to services as the preferred response, but acknowledges that arrests may still be warranted in some situations. The Let Everyone Advance with Dignity (LEAD) program, which diverts individuals with behavioral health issues or income instability away from punitive responses, requires additional funding and resources. The proposed amendment also includes reporting requirements, data collection, and an independent review of harm-related provisions and reporting requirements for officers making arrests. The legislation aims to prioritize diversion and connecting individuals with recovery services rather than incarceration, which may require additional resources and investments in diversion systems. There are no direct financial impacts if the legislation is not implemented, and it does not have any significant implications for carbon emissions or climate change resiliency. There are no specific long-term goals or programs associated with this legislation.",

"detail": "Amendment 3 proposes adding recitals to highlight the City's support for diverting individuals away from the criminal legal system and the potential impact on the LEAD program. Insufficient resources for pre-booking diversion could negatively impact access to program services for individuals connected to LEAD outside of police referrals. Additional funding is needed to scale the program, with estimates of $21 million in 2022 and $30 million in 2023. Prioritizing referrals based on specific criteria could limit access for individuals with behavioral issues, extreme poverty, and/or income instability. The proportion of LEAD clients connected to the program due to public use of controlled substances is unknown.",
