📰 News we're reading

• Major DUI enforcement operation set in coastal OC ahead of Labor Day weekend (newsantaana.com) — Huntington Beach police are ramping up DUI enforcement from August 19 through September 7, targeting busy coastal corridors, downtown, and Pacific Coast Highway during the Labor Day period. Expect more saturation patrols, traffic stops, and strict penalties for alcohol- or drug-impaired driving. Residents are urged to plan sober rides, watch for heavy foot and bike traffic, and report suspected impaired drivers.
   

• Can Huntington Beach afford to raise police salary by 17% over three years? City leaders are divided (ocregister.com) — Huntington Beach officials are split over a proposed three-year police contract that would raise officer pay 17% and could add up to $20 million in staffing costs amid an existing structural deficit. After a tense debate over whether the deal risks insolvency or is needed to stay competitive, the council ordered a deeper financial review before a Sept. 1 vote that could shape city services and taxes for years.
