Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION Approved on 12/6/2005 Ordinance No 16722 12 2005
DATE Tuesday December 06 2005
LOG NAME. 35CCPD FUND REFERENCE NO G 15031
SUBJECT
Conduct a Public Hearing for Approval and Appropriation of Mid-Year Amendments to FY2005-2006
Crime Control and Prevention District Budget for Crime Lab Outsourcing AR 15 Ammunition NPO
Sergeants Recruit Officer Training and Vehicles
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Conduct a public hearing to approve amid-year amendment of $1 975 332 to the FY2005-2006 Crime
Control and Prevention District (CCPD) budget to fund various programs, and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations by $1 975 332 in the
CCPD Fund and decreasing the reserved undesignated fund balance by the same amount.
DISCUSSION
On November 15 2005 (via M&C G-15000) the City Council authorized the City Manager to submit a mid-
year funding request to the CCPD Board to fund the following
1 Crime Lab Outsourcing ($279,000 reflects the cost of outsourcing to reduce the case backlog while
the DNA section of the Fort Worth Crime Lab has been out of operation The department paid these
unbudgeted expenses in the General Fund in FY2005 resulting in a significant overage
2. Ammunition for AR 15s ($238.000) The CCPD has funded the rapid expansion of this program in
recent months Ninety to 135 officers will have been trained during FY2005 with many more to follow in
2006 This would provide the on-going supplies necessary to support the program
3 NPO Sergeants ($124 679) These positions are a high priority for the Police Department in order to
reduce the span of control for the patrol sergeants and to increase the effectiveness of the NPOs. Funding
was not available in the General Fund proposed budget for this purpose so staff recommends the use of
CCPD funds to phase 10 positions in over atwo-year period A significant portion of the NPOs are CCPD
funded and it is considered anon-core program so CCPD is an appropriate funding source.
4 Recruit Training/Marked Vehicles ($983,091/$350.562) a number of sworn position increases were
included in the City Manager's Proposed Budget. This was possible only through the diversion of the
training and vehicle costs to the CCPD Fund This proposal also includes funding for training and vehicles
for NPO sergeants noted previously
On November 17 2005 the CCPD Board held a public hearing and voted unanimously to approve this
request. Following a City Council public hearing scheduled on December 6 2005 the final step is City
Council action on this Mayor and Council Communication
