DISCUSSION
The state budget includes a minimum of $100,000 in SLES funds
for each jurisdiction in 2003/04. As the new revenue amounts
were not known at the time the City's budget was approved, the
City's Adopted Fiscal Year 2003/04 Operating Budget includes
$156,810 in expenditures from SLES funds, an overage of $56,810.
Staff recommends the following revised expenditure plan:
Partial Funding for 40 -hour Patrol Officer. This position was
added in 2001 to enhance front -line law enforcement. For
2003/04, the cost of this patrol officer is expected to be
$156,810. The adopted budget funds this position with $156,810
of SLES money; staff recommends using the full allocation of
SLES money ($100,000) and $56,810 of general funds instead.
In summary, $100,000 of SLES money would be spent in the 2003/04
fiscal year as follows:

A budget amendment is not required since general funds budgeted
for police services will be sufficient to absorb this cost.
