CITY SERVICES
SUMMARY OF DEPARTMENTAL REPONSIBILITIES
The City Services Department consists of three operating divisions Code Compliance
Division, responsible for protecting and improving the quality of life in the City by enforcing
the City's environmental codes; Equipment Services Division, responsible for maintaining the
City's vehicular and equipment fleet; and Solid Waste Management, responsible for
collection and disposal of solid waste for the general public. Only the Code Compliance
Division of City Services is represented in the Crime Control and Prevention District.
The Code Compliance Division promotes and enforces the environmental code of the City
through inspection of neighbofioods and buildings. Public relations and educational
programs are integral parts of an effort to reduce the need for a primary focus on
enforcement; however legal action to enforce the City code is initiated when necessary
Enforcement of environmental codes is an invaluable tool in crime prevention because of the
relationship between neighbofiood deterioration and high incidences of criminal activity
Code enforcement activity often helps in criminal investigations, particularly at locations
involved in drugs and stolen vehicles, and will contribute to an overall reduction of the crime
rate and citizen fear of crime

PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES
SUMMARY OF DEPARTMENTAL REPONSIBILITIES.
The Parks and Community Services Department is responsible for planning,
designing, developing, and maintaining the City's network of parks as well as for the
planning and administration of various recreation and human services programs that
the City offers.
Parks and Community policing and security and graffiti abatement are integral parts
of crime control and prevention. While aggressive law enforcement activity is an
obvious need in making Fort Worth the safest large city in the United States, this
alone does not ensure that Fort Worth will .remain afirst-class city It is important
that the public also have available quality of life amenities, including libraries,
entertainment, and parks People will use these amenities, particularly the parks,
only if they feel safe in them. Graffiti, if left unabated, breeds even more graffiti and
.potential violent conflict among the gangs that spread it.

This section explains all significant changes to the Crime Control and Prevention District budget, as
proposed by the City for 1998-99 from the 1997-98 Adopted Budget. Items that explain program additions
or major enhancements are indicated by the letter designation and affected program in boldface.
Items that include approved position increases or decreases appear first in order from most positions to
least positions. All other changes follow in oMer of magnitude of the dollar change from high to .low.
A) The proposed budget includes the elimination of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE)
expansion program. This results in a reduction of $567 043 and 10 police officer positions. The General
Fund still funds the Police Department's core DARE program of 8 officers and 1 sergeant.
B) The proposed budget includes the addition of five police officer positions for the School Security
Initiative. This continues the original plan for the program established at the beginning of the CCPD The
total cost of this addition is $270,312, of which $125,000 will be paid by the Fort Worth Independent
School District.
C) The proposed budget includes the addition of one detective and one police officer to staff the new Sex
Offender Apprehension program. The $149,000 budget includes salaries and benefits, equipment, and
one vehicle. A recent audit determined that a significant number of sex offender registrations did not
comply with the law This team will investigate sex offender registrations and apprehend those offenders
who do not comply with the law as probation or parole violators.
D) The budget inGudes the proposed addition of two sergeant positions to the School Security Initiative.
The current program includes one lieutenant, one sergeant, one corporal, and 35 officers. The.addition of
five officers (see above) and the transfer of one (see below) creates a very large span of control for the
existing sergeant, who is the .first-line supervisor The addition of the sergeants will produce a more
manageable arrangement. The positions will cost $160,878 in the first year including all salaries, benefits,
equipment and a vehicle. The FWISD will pay half of the salaries and benefits, or about $56,000.
E) The proposed budget includes the transfer of a police officer position from the Asian tVeighbofiood
Storefront grant to the CCPD Neighborhood Patrol Officers program. The grant will expire at the end of
FY 1997-98. The position costs $49,513 per year

1998-99 PROPOSED- $26,135,323 A.P 177 0
F) The .proposed budget includes the transfer of one police officer position from the CCPD Neighbofiood
Patrol Officer .program to the School Security Initiative. This NPO is currently assigned to the Keller
Independent School District as a school security officer Keller ISD pays half of the salaries and benefits of
the position, about $30 000 per year
G) InGuded in the proposed budget is a new program to implement the Police Department's Technology
Infrastructure. This program includes costs to install network wiring in all Police Department facilities
($570,000), install networking equipment and establish wide area network connections between facilities
($503,160), install infrastructure to establish a geographic information system in all Police facilities
($104 000), and to lease computers, purchase network printers, and pay for software and hardware support
and user training ($741 418). The entire program's cost is $1,918,578, of which $1,210 900 is one-time
expenditures and $707,678 is -annualized costs.
H) Also included is a new program for Special Events Overtime at a cost of $442,000. This program
provides overtime for external policing and traffic control at major special events to avoid having to pull on-
duty officers from patrol duties to staff the events. Event organizers are responsible for internal security at
special events.
I) It is proposed that the Recruit Officer Training program be expanded by 21 trainees at a cost of
$420,000 Projected retirements through October 1999 indicate the need for additional trainees. A total of
65 trainees will be funded through the CCPD
J) The proposed budget includes a contingency of $376,000 fora 5 percent across-the-boarci salary
increase for those civil service personnel who are paid from the CCPD budget. If a pay increase is
granted by the City Council, it will be after the CCPD budget has 'been approved. 'If no pay increase is
granted, the funds will be returned unspent to the CCPD reserve.
K) The proposed budget includes an additional $344,968 in salary and civil service step increases. The
pay increase granted in October 1997 was not budgeted in the CCPD The step increases are projected for
FY 1998-99
L) The proposed budget includes an additional $292,085 for the Parks and Community Policing and
Security program to pay overtime to police officers who provide security in the department's community
centers. Because this is an assigned duty officers cannot be hired on an off-duty basis and must be paid
overtime under provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Ad.

M) There is a reduction of $223,301 in radio and communications equipment. Of this amount, $155,000
.reduces the Citizens on Patrol Equipment program, eliminating the purchase of 114 hand-held radios in FY
1998-99 The remainder is a reduction of radios and MDTs in the School Security Initiative dUe to fewer
additional vehicles being purchased next year
N) It is proposed that the Neighbofiood Policing Districts program be enhanced by adding $213,000 for
retirees to function as desk officers. The federal COPS MORE grant expired late last fiscal year causing a
reduction in the use of retirees as desk officers and forcing NPD commanders to use full-duty officers to
answer citizen calls. Adding these funds will return full-duty officers to patrol.
O) The proposed budget includes the addition of the Police Cadet program at a cost of $181 000 funded
in the current year by Awarded Assets. This funds 15 cadets, and another 5 are budgeted in the General
Fund, Human Resources Department. This program is part of the Police Department's effort to recruit
protected class candidates.
P) The proposed budget includes the addition of a new program for $160,000, the Safe Havens program,
to be added to the Neighbofiood Policing Districts program. This program includes full funding to
continue the Diamond Hill Safe Haven ($120,000) and partial funding for the Near Southeast Safe Haven
($40,000) Both of these Safe Havens have been previously funded with. grant funds.
Q) The proposed budget includes $143,229 in additional overtime funds. A correction to the School
Security Initiative budget cost about $71,000, of which participating school districts will pay half There is
an increase of $39,111 to the Strategic Operations Fund due to salary and step increases raising the rate
of overtime pay among police officers. About $15,000 was added to the Expanded Narcotics Investigation
program where there was none previously The four Zero Tolerance teams received a total increase of
$9,300 to better reflect actual needs.
R) There .is an increase of $135,139 for the City's retirement contribution. The increase was from 10.34
percent to 10.90 percent of salaries and salary-based benefits.
S) The proposed budget includes a decrease of $121,896 for electricity The decrease more accurately
reflects electricity costs in the Storefronts program and also reflects the elimination of the electricity budget
in NPD6 which is a City-owned facility and does not directly pay this item.
T) The proposed budget includes a $73,957 increase in salaries of regular employees. This occurred in
the Recruit Officer Trainee program, where the length of the recruit training class has been lengthened
from 26 weeks to 29 weeks.
