On January 15, 1.980 the City Council received a proposal to improve police
services from the Chief of Police This proposal was developed as a temporary
solution to address increases in citizen calls for assistance increases in
the incidence of crime in the community and increases in injuries and fatalities
associated with traffic accidents The foam major areas affected by this
proposal are the Patrol Division, the Criminal Investigation Division the '
Minority Recruitment Program and the Police Reserve activity It is proposed
to provide an extensive program of overtime compensation to the Patrol and
Criminal Investigations Divisions and to rels~cate patrol operations from
Section II at 2200 T~'est Rosedale to Sector I at 1100 Nashville In addition
it is proposed to strengthen the Police Department's Minority Recruitment Program
and to increase the number of Police Reserve Officers
The costs to implement this proposal are as follows

Enforcement efforts in the Traffic Division of the Police Department and in the
Municipal Court also have been intensified in an effort to reduce injuries and
traffic fatalities Revenue projections based on the first quarter of the
current fiscal year indicate that if current traffic enforcement efforts
continue there will be a 50% increase or about ~~+~b 428 more revenue than
was estimated in the budget The Municipal Court`~udges also have recently
increased recommended fine amounts in all categories Projecting an increase
in the average traffic fine from $12 80 to $17 80 approximately $500,000 fn
additional revenues will be realized during the remainder of FY 1979-80 Thus,
it is anticipated that sufficient revenues will be generated from intensified
traffic enforcement, the issuance of citations and subsequent fines to offset
the major Costs associated with this proposal to improve police services
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached supplemental appro-
priation ordinance appropriating $966,428 from increased Estimated Budgeted
-Revenue of the General Fund
