SAFE Team funding uncertainty and Medi-Cal billing
Summary
The SAFE Team, the city's mobile crisis-response unit, cost $1.14 million in 2025 and handled 3,312 calls, but the county has capped Measure O support at $1.6 million shared among four agencies (about $800,000 per team). The team is racing to get Medi-Cal billing certified by June 30 to offset the gap.

Impact analysis
The city covered about $1.14 million in 2025 and may only get roughly $800,000 in county Measure O money going forward unless Medi-Cal reimbursements fill the gap.
Residents experiencing mental-health crises get an alternative to a police-only response, and officers are freed up for law-enforcement calls.
