Budget Workshop Donna Resz, Finance Officer presented the board with notebooks of budget
information and the suggested budget timeline for all the different departments
and all other funds and finally adoption of the budget.
Police Services requests are as listed below:
Commodities and contractual services request for 2007-2008 is
$331,900. An increase in fuel costs of $10,000 and animal control is requesting
$35,522 for training, supplies, fire, animal care, etc.
Alderman Bruns asked about this yeaz's budget being over or under for Police
and Donna said she thought they were going to break even.
New programs (other than capital) requests a replacement officer for Officer
Campbell while in Iraq and when Officer Campbell returns to retain the re-
placement for a budget request of $63,966. Alderman Super wondered why
so much money was put into new programs requesting $350,000 ($238,000+
new programs and $112,000+ for equipment replacement and the help we' 11 get
from the county, $95,000 that may not be needed when there is a possibility to
not use it. Donna explained this amount would be put in the budget and used,
only if needed and this would also keep us from having a budget amendment
because enough money wasn't allowed in this area.
Police Athletic League Program, (P.A.L.) $6,000. Chief Mills explained this
is a joint effort with the Riverside Area Chamber of Commerce to engage kids
with activities and life skills with the police officers that they wouldn't
otherwise have. Fund raising for this is golf tournament, the City and Chamber
of Commerce partnership, and the proceeds from the golf tournament go into
P.A.L. Also, they would like to get some benefactors to provide tickets to
activities.
Master Patrolman, $8.486.
Capital Equipment Replacement-Computer Equipment, $22,850.
Capital Equipment (Vehicular and Equipment) $45,000. Chief Mills explained
the need for a patrol wagon. The City cannot hold a prisoner for more than 4
hours and if they can't bond out, they are taken to the Platte County jail until
their court date here at the City. More people are being arrested and there is
often more than one prisoner being held at the county. Sometimes 1-3 officers
must make the trip to Platte City to bring the prisoner back to court and this is
time consuming, costly and unsafe.
Capital Equipment Replacement- Radios, Patrol Room Furniture, Records Area
Furniture, $41,500.
Other Equipment:
In-Car Mobile Video Systems, $95.000 (Attorney, John McClelland explained
this is necessary for public information requests, risk management option).

David Blackburn mentioned the decision to hire more firefighters affects ISO
(insurance rating) for the City based on water capacity and firefighting
capability. The City is checking into the water flow. This will give better
service flow and gives the City a better rating (residents) for insurance costs.
Alderman Hurt asked that the agenda be placed on the website before
the meeting. The City Clerk explained, it is placed on the website as soon as
possible, but usually cannot be placed on the website on the Friday before the
meeting because of not getting all information for the agenda in a timely
manner before time to go home. Usually, Monday is the earliest it can be
placed on the website.
