2. DISCUSSIONS
a. Discuss the Crime Control and Prevention District 2013 -14 Proposed Budget and
budget process.
General Manager Leiper presented the agenda item and stated that the proposed budget has a
possible increase of 5% with the expenditures virtually unchanged and a possible increase in
police car purchases. General Manager Leiper stated that $133,000 would be put into unforeseen
initiatives for salary increases and health care costs to alleviate having to make an amendment to
the budget next year. He stated that the projected fund balance would be a little over half of a
million dollars.
General Manager Leiper stated that the state law requires that the CCPD Board have a public
hearing prior to the adopting the budget, as well as, adopting the budget 60 days prior to Council
adopting its' budget. He stated that Council cannot change the CCPD's adopted budget, but can
only accept or reject it. He stated that if Council rejects the budget, there would have to be a
meeting between Council and the CCPD Board to work out the issue and that's the reason that
the CCPD budget is so far ahead of Council budget process. Additionally, he stated that a notice
of the public hearing will be published for the suggested public hearing date of July 09, 2013.
General Manager Leiper suggested and stated to put no more than $300,000 in the contingency
line item and that the only thing that administration would transfer out of that contingency fund
without the vote of the CCPD Board would be salary increases and health insurance.
Additionally, he stated that if it is the consensus of the board to add a $300,000 contingency line
item, staff will note in the minutes that it will require board approval to expend the $300,000.
