For the past year, the city conducted significant community outreach via phone, mail, digital and in-person meetings to get community input. Service priorities identified by your neighbors include:
- Maintaining 911 emergency response times
- Maintaining rapid police response times
- Upgrading roads and bridges to better prepare them for flooding and blow sand
- Investigating and preventing crime
- Maintaining Anti-Gang an Anti-Drug Programs
- Improving public spaces to attract more businesses
- Ensuring any funding be used only in Desert Hot Springs and be accountable
If you were one of the residents who responded to the City’s survey, thank you!
Additional outreach is ongoing to obtain feedback on services is still ongoing, in order to determine which services to prioritize or attempt to shield from cuts if Measure P passes or does not pass.
