SUBJECT:
Adopt Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance Transferring Funds to the Transportation and Public
Works and Finance Departments from the Municipal Court Department and Authorize Allocation of
Two Full-Time Positions from Municipal Court to the Transportation and Public Works and Finance
Departments for the Automated Red Light Enforcement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations by $97,994 in the
Transportation and Public Works and Finance departments by $58,119 and $39,875 respectively, and
decreasing appropriations by the same amount from the Municipal Court Department to fund two positions

2. Increase the authorized positions in the Transportation and Public Works and Finance departments by
one full-time position each and decrease the authorized positions in the Municipal Court Department by two
full-time positions.
DISCUSSION:
During the Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget process, it was determined that the Municipal Court Department
would .assume responsibility of the Customer Service Rep 11 and Hearing Officer required for the
Automated Red Light Enforcement Program ("Program") created by Ordinance No. 17677, adopted by City
Council on July 31, 2007. After further review of the Program, staff decided to transfer the two positions to
Transportation and Public Works and the Finance departments. It is proposed that each department will
accept one full-time position. The Customer Service Rep II will be located in the Finance
Department/Treasury Division and provide cashiering services for the Program, while the Hearing Officer
will be located in the Transportation and Public Works Department along with other Automated Red Light
Enforcement Program staff. Salaries for both positions will be offset by revenues generated from the
Program. The Directors from the departments have agreed to re-assess this arrangement after six months
and reconfigure, if deemed necessary.
