==== Below is the structure you can present as your “Master Policy Book” pillars. This is written so it sounds like City Hall, not social media. ====

===== Goal: Safer streets, faster response, fewer repeat incidents. =====

Plan:
* Conduct a public-facing “response capacity snapshot”: - Average response times (if available) - Staffing gaps - Equipment gaps
* Improve street lighting in targeted zones (crime prevention through visibility)
* Create a community safety partnership: - business owners - property managers - residents - law enforcement liaison

Deliverable (30–60 days):
* “Wendover Safety Map” identifying: - areas needing lights - high-risk intersections - common complaint locations
* A short “Safety & Reporting Guide” for residents

Non-negotiable: Public safety must be firm and lawful. No harassment, no discrimination, no reckless enforcement.

===== Goal: Reliable basics: water, sewer, roads, waste, power resilience. =====

Plan:
* Utilities audit review (what we have vs. what’s failing)
* Prioritize repairs based on risk: - water supply reliability - sewage/septic issues - road failure zones
* Identify state and federal grant opportunities only after we have a clear scope list.

Deliverables:
* 1-page “Top 10 Infrastructure Needs” list
* Capital plan draft with rough cost ranges (low/med/high)

===== Goal: Reduce public disruption and suffering while improving safety. =====

Plan:
* Create a “crisis referral ladder”: - what residents do - what businesses do - what police do - what county/state partners do
* Build a simple referral card system and posting plan: - City website - libraries - businesses - public bulletin locations

Deliverable:
* “Wendover Crisis Resource Sheet” published and distributed

===== Goal: Move people from stuck → working → trained → stable. =====

Plan:
* Partner mapping: - trade programs - workforce services - local employers
* Create a “Wendover Work Board”: - basic local openings - training opportunities - quick-start certifications

Deliverable:
* Monthly workforce update at City Council (5 minutes)

===== Goal: Reduce household vulnerability and increase local resilience. =====

Plan:
* Community garden pilot (small, fenced, water plan)
* Seed + starter program through partnerships (nonprofit/business)
* Identify legal land use options and water constraints first.

Deliverables:
* A pilot garden site recommendation
* A basic seasonal planting guide tailored to Wendover conditions

===== Important: A national AUBI is federal. But Wendover can still pilot local economic stability programs without pretending it’s federal law. =====

Local options that are legal and realistic:
* Utility relief programs through grants/partners
* “Earned benefits” programs tied to local service/workforce training
* Business incentive packages for hiring locally
* Tourism/event partnerships that create recurring revenue

Deliverable:
* A “Local Stability Options” memo: what we can do as a city vs. what is federal-only.

===== Goal: Bring innovation without hype, and protect residents. =====

Plan:
* A “Smart City Basics” approach: - traffic safety data (non-invasive) - infrastructure monitoring - emergency readiness tools
* Strong privacy guardrails: - no mass surveillance - no biometric collection without public approval - vendor transparency

Deliverable:
* “Innovation with Safety” policy outline for vendor contracts

===== Goal: Keep roads safe and predictable. =====

Plan:
* publish winter response routes (even if simple)
* identify equipment needs and backup arrangements
* coordinate with Nevada/Utah traffic impacts if applicable

Deliverable:
* Public winter response plan summary

===== Goal: Respect land, reduce waste, and avoid preventable conflict. =====

Plan:
* environmental impact mindset in every infrastructure decision
* consult tribal/heritage concerns when applicable
* protect air/water quality and stop dumping hotspots

Deliverable:
* “Environmental impact checklist” for city projects

===== Goal: Trust through receipts. =====

Plan:
* create a public dashboard format: - projects - costs - status - who is responsible
* tighten disclosure expectations for contracts and vendor selection

Deliverable:
* A simple public reporting page template
