ATION.1'
At the beginning of fiscal year 1983-84, the Police Department requested that
the Municipal Court Warrant Division assume the responsibility of transporting
prisoners from surrounding municipalities to the Fort Worth City facility At
the time of the request, it was believed that it was less costly to the City
to have this function performed by warrant officers than by police officers due
to the salary difference in the two positions. No additional resources were
included in the Municipal Court Department's budget appropriation for 1983-84,
and none were deleted from the Police Department's budget as a result of this
transfer o~ ~~~'~3t3~ts~#bility Concern, however, was expressed over the possible
loss of revenue resulting from removal of warrant officers from issuing
citations to transporting prisoners
After three months, it appears that there is a noticeable reduction in the
number of warrants being issued, equivalent to an average loss of $23,000 a
month in revenue
Therefore, it is requested that the Police Department provide adequate financing
for three warrant officer positions and related supplies totaling~$63,802 in
order for the Municipal Court to continue providing the prisoner transfer
function. This transfer of resources will ensure the maintenance of our
previous level of warrant issuance
Financing
A suppLemeTt~~i ~pp~,~~riation in the amount of $63,802 is requested for the
Municipal Court operating budget. Funding will be provided by a corresponding
reduction in the Police Department's adopted appropriation for fiscal year
1983-84.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a supplemental appropriation
ordinance reducing the General Fund Account 35-31-00, Index Codes 263095 and
263525 by $63,802, and increasing General Fund Account No 38-10-00, Index
Codes 214205 and 214692, by $63,802, pppROVED $Y
