SUBJECT:
Authorization by the Mayor and Common Council to approve a budget transfer/amendment
request submitted by the Police Department to cover additional P.O.S.T. training expenses
funded in the Police Department's Personnel & Training Unit.
BACKGROUND:
On 7-3-97, the Mayor and Common Council ratified the Police Department's budget for FY
1997/98. The budget included $160,000 in Account #001-224-5134 for POST reimbursable
training for department personnel. An additional $30,000 over the amount budgeted is needed
for the remainder of FY 1997/98 to cover scheduled P.O.S.T. reimbursable training until 6-30-
98. This increase is due to state mandated training requirements and training associated with
promotions and transfers of police personnel. Training is essential to reduce the city's liability
for police services and to prepare employees for new positions and assignments. Training is
essential for the department to be a leader in setting the standard for excellence in police work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The funding source to cover the increase for the remainder of FY 1997/98 are from savings in
the following accounts:
$19,300 from account #001-211-5803. Savings available due to payment for lease being made
out of patrol lease payments instead of administration lease payments as originally budgeted.
$5,000 from account #001-213-5803. Savings available due to timing of lease payments on
patrol vehicles; only one payment instead of the two originally budgeted were required in FY98.
$5,700 from account #001-224-5505. Savings available due to a decrease in the number of
contract background investigations to be performed prior to 6/30/98.
The Police Department will include the appropriate costs for P.O.S.T. training in its proposed
budget for FY 1998/99 based on historical costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Common Council approve the Police Department's request for a budget
transfer/amendment for a total amount of$30,000 to be transferred from the following accounts:
Lease Payments, Account#001-211-5803; and Professional Contractual Services, Account#001-
224-5505; and transferred to P.O.S.T. Training, Account #001-224-5134.
