| | Subject: | Appropriation of funds for funding two additional Police Officer positions in Fiscal Years 2017-18 and 2018-19. (Action Item) | Date: | 12/12/2017 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To approve the appropriation of additional funds for the addition of a total of two (2) police officer positions, one in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 and one in FY 2018-19. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
During the FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 biennial budget development process, the Police Department specified a need to increase the number of police officers in the City, one in FY 2017-18 and another in FY 2018-19, for a total of two police officer positions. The addition of these postions was addressed with the City Council along with adoption of the FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 biennial budget. At that time, the City Council was advised that staff would pursue grant funding for the positions through the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing (COPS) grant and that an appropriation to fund the positions would be requested if the grant request was not funded. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Recently, the City was notified that funding through the COPS grant is not available; therefore, it is necessary to appropriate additional funding to the budget in order to fund these positions. The cost for one Police Officer position for the remaining FY 2017-18 year (six months) and one additional police officer for FY 2018-19 is estimated as follows:
