Finance Director Victor Brownlees provided a summary of the proposed budget for the Baytown
Crime Control and Prevention District. He stated that the outlook is better compared to the previous
year, and revenues are significantly higher due to the effects of the pandemic, which is not what
the City anticipated. The sales tax is projected to increase by 3.5% and is achievable, allowing
expenditures on equipment and supplies for the following year. If revenues are better than
anticipated in the following year, he will bring it back before the District to ensure the tax dollars
are being properly used.
President Wheeler opened the floor for the Directors to ask questions or provide comments
regarding the budget.
Director Herrera asked why there was not an amount set aside for maintenance for the 2021-2022
fiscal year, and Mr. Brownlees stated there was about $36,000 left this year for unforeseen
expenditures.
President Wheeler asked if funds were being put aside for the elections as they are anticipating an
increase in expenses with Harris County and Chambers County, and Mr. Brownlees noted that
conversations have occurred to put money aside yearly so that when the election does occur, the
District's budget does not feel such an impact and is prepared for the increase in election processes.
3. REPORTS
a. Receive the CCPD Quarterly Financial and Investment Reports for the Quarter
Ending March 31, 2021
Finance Director Brownlees summarized the CCPD's quarterly financial and investment reports
for the quarter ending March 31, 2021. He stated that sales tax has been significantly better than
initially estimated. With it being the half way point of the year, the District has collected two-
thirds of the revenues, and emphasized how much better the City is preforming. Mr. Brownlees
stated that in viewing the current budget he would not recommend making any further
commitments at this time since the third quarter is about to be closed. He further noted that he
would like for them to be able to allocate resources for the second half of the acquisition of radios
rather than wait for next year's budget since the City of Baytown doing fairly well.
President Rikki Wheeler then asked when they would have a good review for the funds, and Mr.
Brownlees noted that it would be best to wait until August.
b. Presentation of the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District Street Crime
Unit and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) statistical reports.
Interim Police Chief Mike Holden provided an overview of the statistical reports for the District's
Street Crime Unit and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) that had been provided to the
Directors for the past two quarterly periods.
