program. The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to present an amended Fiscal Year
2011 budget appropriation ordinance to the City Council for approval.
On November 16, 2010, the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors held a public hearing
and considered a request from staff to amend the FY2011 budget to amend the budget by adding
$4,087.451.00.
As a result of changes to the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB), the CCPD fund has savings of
$1,087,069.00. These savings combined with an additional $2,126,351.00 from fund balance will fund
the purchase of 140 marked vehicles for a total of$3,213,420.00.
The department has not added police officers based on the Patrol Allocation Model (PAM) due to budget
constraints. Based on projected attribution in the coming fiscal year, the department is requesting to add
50 new police recruits. This would allow the department to have 80 new recruits available. The total
funding allocation for this endeavor is $1,961,100.00.
