CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2008-09 adopted budget by appropriating $29,000 from
unallocated Measure Z funds to Account No. 001-223-5502 to provide helicopter services through
October 31,2008.
BACKGROUND
On September 2, 2008 the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution 2008-356 authorizing the
elimination of the helicopter patrol service contract in order to retain and fund (6) sworn positions that
were selected to be held vacant as part of the FY 2008-09 Police Department reorganization.
On September 15, 2008, the Mayor and Common Council approved a motion to amend the FY 2008-09
adopted budget to delete funding for the (6) vacant sworn Police positions approved on September 2,
2008 and instead reallocate Measure Z funding for the reinstatement of (5) non-sworn Police Department
positions. The Mayor and Council also rescinded their action to cancel the helicopter contract with
California Aviation Services.
As a result of this September 15th action, there was a total of $156,300 remaining in the Measure Z budget
to cover helicopter services through the beginning of October, as well as $115,400 of Measure Z savings
realized.
In order to fund the helicopter service through the end of October, an additional $29,000 must be
appropriated to fund helicopter patrol services ($46,325 per month) through October 31, 2008. It is
recommended that a portion of the savings in Measure Z noted above be used for this purpose.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Helicopter patrol services are billed at a rate of $46,325 per month. To fund the helicopter service for July
1 through October 31, 2008, a budget of $185,300 is needed ($46,325/month x 4months). The current
Measure Z budget only has $156,300 included for helicopter services so a budget amendment is requested
to appropriate $29,000 in Measure Z to fund helicopter patrol services through October 31,2008.
RECOMMENDA nON
Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2008-09 adopted budget by appropriating $29,000 from
unallocated Measure Z funds to Account No. 001-223-5502 to provide helicopter services through
October 31, 2008.
