DISCUSSION
The 2005/06 State Budget allocates a minimum of $100,000 in SLES funds to each
jurisdiction. Therefore, the 2005/06 City Budget includes $100,000 in expenditures from
SLES money for a 40 -hour patrol officer. This position was added in 2001/02 to
enhance front -line law enforcement. For 2005/06, the cost of this patrol officer is
expected to be $189,628.
The 2005/06 City Budget funds this patrol officer with $100,000 of SLES money and
$89,628 of general funds. Staff recommends that the City Council approve this
expenditure plan. A budget amendment is not required since general funds budgeted for
police services will be sufficient to absorb this cost.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, receive public testimony, and close the public hearing; and
2. Approve the expenditure plan.
