2. DISCUSSION
a. Discuss the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District 2016 -17 Proposed
Budget and budget process.
General Manager Davis presented the agenda item and stated that the CCPD budget includes one
revenue source along with the expenditures of personnel and capital. He stated that the sales tax
revenue is projected at 2% over current year projections. He stated that salaries and benefits are
being budgeted with a 5% increase. He stated that capital outlay, which is broken down into
three (3) parts, includes the purchase of seven (7) MDT's, six (6) replacement vehicles, and
$50,000 for the body worn camera program. General Manage Davis stated that the next CCPD
meeting is scheduled for July 12th, at which time the District will hold the two public hearings
and consider approving the budget.
Director Strong inquired if the CCPD budget would include adding additional officers. General
Manager Davis stated that there are no new officers added to the CCPD budget. Director Strong
further inquired for clarity if the increase in personnel was strictly for salaries. Chief Dougherty
stated that for clarity that the increase was across the board for all civil service employees to stay
in line with the market, whereas, last year the city worked to bring all city employees to
market. Chief Dougherty stated that the budget includes the same number of personnel and as it
relates to the body camera program, the proposed budget amount helps provide the match for a
grant to get all police officers with body cameras.
President Wheeler inquired for clarity if there was $50,000 in last year's budget and $50,000 for
this year's budget. In response to President Wheeler's inquiry, Chief Dougherty stated that for
clarity that she was correct.
During further discussion, General Manager Davis stated that staff has an ongoing concern with
regards to meeting public information requests with the body camera program but are still
working on it. President Wheeler inquired if there was anything coming along with regards to
redaction. Chief Dougherty stated that once the software is developed, the contingency fund
would probably be the funding source, but currently the police is looking to the general fund for
open records needs. He further stated that the way the Attorney General is handling requests for
such devices and it's under investigation an appeal can be submitted to the AG's office,
whereas the police department doesn't have to release certain information while an investigation
is ongoing.
Director Navarre inquired of the process once a replacement vehicle is received. Chief
Dougherty stated that the vehicle is bid out at once cost to include the equipment already
installed which costs approximately $58,000. He stated that they don't get rid of some of the
more suitable vehicles, but rather utilize them for low mileage positions as long as possible. He
further stated that they purchasing the Tahoe vehicles as they tend to work better safety wise.
Chief Dougherty stated that a breakdown of vehicle costs will be provided at the next meeting
