Minutes of the Regular Session — August 10, 2000
0�_ Discuss Fiscal Year 2000 -2001 Budget
City Manager Monte Mercer's Comments:
This budget represents the third year of a five -year sales tax passed by
the voters in 1998. 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.
Chief Charles Shaffer reported to the Board on the drop in cdme statistics
crediting CCPD. He stated all the benefits from CCPD had not been felt yet.
