Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by $49,566 15 in the Special Trust Fund, Awarded Assets, from increased revenue, and 2. Authorize the use of $49,566.15 from the Special Trust Fund, Awarded Assets, for modifications needed at the Police Weapons Range. DISCUSSION: In 1992, three police officers who work at the Police Weapons Range were tested and found to have elevated lead blood levels. It was then determined that the primary factor for these officers experiencing elevated lead blood levels was poor ventilation at the Weapons Range. When a weapon is discharged a spray of lead gases is present around the shooter. The Risk Management Department requested the Environmental Management Department to conduct a survey of the Range to measure the level of lead contaminants. The Environmental Management Department determined that what was needed to correct the problem was expanded ventilation through the installation of additional exhaust fans. Engineering studies of the site also show that additional fans will blow the lead gases away from the personnel firing the weapon. The Transportation/Public Works Department estimated the cost for the Weapons Range modifications to be $49,566.15. Transportation/Public Works has notified the Police Department that they can now begin the process necessary for the modifications to the Weapons Range. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon adoption Appropriation Ordinance the funds required for this expenditure the Special Trust Fund.
