Salt Lake City serves as the lead agency for this multi - jurisdictional gang identification and suppression effort. Salt Lake handles all the related payroll and operating expenses for the project and are reimbursed from the grant. The Department needs authorization to hire the following positions: 1.00 Police Officer, 1.00 Community Coordinator, 1.00 Data Analyst, and .75 hourly clerical. In keeping with the Council's desire to not increase the permanent staffing document with grant funded positions, these positions will increase the staffing of the Department but will not be added to the official staffing document. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase General Police / grant revenue $267,242 (R) Fund Police / operating expenses $267,242 (E) Totals General Fund $267,242 (R) $267,242 (E) Issue #2-Salt Lake City Victim Advocate Program $16,875 State Grant This amendment budgets $16,875 of the total award of $22,500 for the Salt Lake City Victim Advocate Program grant from the State for the period 10/1/95 to 9/30/96. This budget funds an hourly volunteer coordinator and some operating expenses. The program provides coordination of trained volunteers who provide counseling, crisis intervention, referral and restitution assistance for the victims of crimes. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase General Police / grant revenue $16,875 (R) Fund Police / operating expenses $16,875 (E) Totals General Fund $16,875 (R) $16,875 (E) 3 Issue #3-Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program $44,065 State Grant This amendment budgets $44,065 of the $49,596 awarded for the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. The State serves as the lead agency for this program with enforcement done by a cooperative effort of the Highway Patrol, the Salt Lake County Sheriff, and Salt Lake City Police. This budget will provide partial reimbursement for one Police Officer and some related operating expenses. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase General Police / grant revenue $44,065 (R) Fund Police / operating expenses $44,065 (E) Totals General Fund $44,065 (R) $44,065 (E) Issue #4-Mobile Data Terminal $1,183,456 Capital Improvement Fund Contingency The police technology initiative was originally funded in FY 95 at its estimated cost of $2.5 million in two parts: $1.0 million in the FY 95 CIP and $1.5 million from anticipated proceeds of the sale of surplus land. At the time, there were indicators that the second phase funding would not be needed until late in FY 96 and that the land could attract a buyer in time to meet this need. The city entered into bona fide negotiations with a prospective buyer that would have provided the needed cash had they concluded on the terms we established. While it made sense to hold to the city's requirements in these negotiations, we now need to provide hard funding for the completion of the technology project which promises significant improvements in the effectiveness of police operations. This budget amendment, proposes to allocate to this purpose the $1.183 million that were appropriated to the CIP without specific project commitments. When the surplus land can be sold, the proceeds would then be applied to the continuing list of capital improvement projects. In effect, the amendment puts funding the completion of the police technology initiative ahead of alternative uses of the CIP contingency. In practice, this change should have little impact on the completion schedule for hoped for capital improvements. The provision of additional funding for capital projects has already begun to stretch the City's capacity to design, contract for, and manage major construction projects. 4 The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase CIP Fund CIP Contingency / transfer from General Fund CIP Contingency MDT Project / transfer from General Fund MDT Project $1,183,456 (R) $1,183,456 (E) $1,183,456 (R) $1,183,456 (E) Totals CIP Fund $-0- Net $-0- Net 5
