DISCUSSION
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant was applied for in October 1993, and
the 51,500,000 grant from the United States Department of Justice was received in October
1994 The grant funds twenty neighborhood police officer positions Since the submittal of
the grant application, two changes in City policies have caused additional expenditures within
the grant that were not planned originally and that are not covered by remaining COPS grant
funds One change.~is~-the~'implementation of the current pay plan with the inception of the
Crime Control and Prevention District in October 1995, which increased police officer salaries
an average of 9 8 percent The other change is the increase in the retirement multiplier in
September 1996, which in turn increased the City's contribution for police retirement from
9 22 percent to 9 78 percent Overall; the COPS grant will have a shortfall of $68,165 before
the end of the current fiscal year on September 30 No additional funds under this grant will
be forthcoming Future funding of these twenty positions is proposed in the 1997-98 Crime
Control and Prevention District budget
