The sales tax projected is $3,255,000 which is based on a two- percent growth estimate. Operating expenditures for the year are $1,039,653 for an increase of ten percent due to market movement in the budget positions. The capital budget of $1,800,000 includes funding for planned improvements at the police academy, renovation and construction of the jail and court facility, fumishing, and vehicles and equipment. The academy construction is for training required by Texas Commission of Law Enforcement Officers Standards. This project was deferred until 2001 to ensure that adequate funding would be available for the court and jail construction. The estimated construction costs are $1,200,000 and just over $400,000 has been set aside to this point. Another $800,000 will be put toward that to get to the $1,200,000. The Police Garage will be moved to consolidate Police and Fire so the City will have a Public Safety Garage of about 2,700 square feet for a cost of $75,000. Police Department renovations to expand the coffee room, construct patrol assembly, report writing room, and housing for the Problem Resolution Team for $300,000. r' Vehicle replacements cost $459,000 which does include some vehicle equipment and two radar units. Software for the Municipal Court for $125,000 for digitized records. Cameras and monitors in the amount of $50,000. Furniture, computers, and radio systems for the staff in the Court for $123,000. The annual payment to the City for a portion of the costs for the court, jail, and communications system in the amount of $757,900. The projected working capital will be $850,000. The goal for the working capital is nearly sixty working days to set aside funds for transition in the event the CCPD sales tax is not re- authorized by the voters.
