SAPD Budget

8/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
From: Mike Helle [mailto:pres@sapoa.org]
Subject: Defunding Police Budget
 
We could use the help from our Retired Friends and Family. Below are two links.
 
The first one is a link that sends the mayor and every city council member an email asking them not to redirect nor defund the police budget. I understand if members do not wish to place their home addresses on the post. They can always use the address of a substation closest to you.
 
The message is the most important piece of information we are trying to convey. Currently the loudest group is the smallest and attempting to defund and repeal bargaining for SAPD families. We need the Silent Majority to rise up and start letting their voices be heard to put a stop to this nonsense of defunding our police.
 
The second link is to the city council agenda meetings. Once you open the link it will list all council meetings and agenda items. On the far right side of the meeting dates you will find a "ecomment" link.
 
We need folks to open that link and fill out the comment section and place statements to support the police and state No to defunding and NO to repealing Civil service 143 and Collective Bargaining 174.
 
They can also copy and paste the comments from the first link regarding the budget and drop them into the ecomment section of council meetings.
 
If these groups are successful in defunding and repealing our rights under 143 and 174, the long term impacts to our Retiree Healthcare and Pension Fund could be devastating as well as the consequences to the moral and welfare of our police work force..
 
Any assistance is greatly appreciated....

Retiree David Putnam

From: Charles Ross [mailto:mdr@gvtc.com]
Subject: SAPD ( Retired ) Dave Putnam, Owner of Alamo City Gold and Silver
 
Guys, I just got off the phone with David Putnam, owner of Alamo City Gold and Silver. He has been battling Covid 19 himself and has been in the hospital for 8 days. He is now released and Covid negative. 
 
As you know, Dave has made " End Of Watch " Pendants (Badges) for many years for Officers who have given their lives in the Line of Duty. This includes Officers dying from Covid 19. There have been over a 100 Officers who have died from this disease nationwide. That's NOT counting the officers who have died from gunshot, motor vehicles, etc. The Pendants are given to the next of kin with an accompanying letter thanking them for the service and sacrifice of their loved one.
 
He is over a 100 Pendants behind. He, again, is asking for donations to help offset the cost of the pendants. Each pendant is approximately $130.00 each. He pays for this out of his pocket. He has set up a GoFundMe account. You can access this Fund by going SADiamonds.com. There is a GoFundMe attachment.
 
Dave is asking for any donations you can spare. Even $5.00 would help. 
 
I told him maybe he is taking on too much, but this is something he starting doing years ago, and he doesn't want to stop. This is Dear to his Heart.  I'm asking as a friend, if you can afford to help in ANY AMOUNT, please do.
 
Thanks, Mike Ross
