STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Amendment of the Fiscal Year 1997/98 budget to reflect a $13,600 increase in the Asset
Forfeiture Budget for the increased cost of cellular telephone services.
BACKGROUND
On 7-21-97, the Mayor and Common Council ratified the City of San Bernardino's budget for
FY 1997/98.
The Police Department's Asset Forfeiture Fund covers the entire cost of cellular telephone
services for the department. Council approved $30,000 for this expense under account #108-
271-5155. This amount covers additional and replacement costs of telephones, repairs to
telephones, and monthly billings.
An additional $13,600 will be needed to cover the expenses through June 30, 1998. The
increase is due to six additional telephones being placed into service during FY 1997/98 and a
total average monthly billing rate for all cellular telephones of $3,400.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The funding to cover the increased cellular phone cost for the remainder of FY 1997/98 will
come from the Asset Forfeiture Fund balance. Asset Forfeiture revenue awarded to the Police
Department is deposited into the Asset Forfeiture Fund until the Mayor and Common Council
authorize appropriation of the funds.
The Police Department will include the appropriate cost for cellular telephone services in the
proposed budget for FY 1998/99.
RECOMNMNDATION
That the Mayor and Common Council approve the Police Department's request to amend the FY
1997-98 Asset Forfeiture budget by $13,600 to cover the increased cost of cellular phone usage.
