II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. 2011 Justice Assistance Grant
As information only, Police staff shared with the Committee a recently received grant from the
Department of Justice Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) in the amount of
$21,309. This grant will be utilized for emergency equipment and technology, specifically for the
following:
Purchase of Administrative Investigations Management Software for logging, tracking, analysis
and management of multiple internal projects.
Purchase of critical first responder active shooter Go -Bags and support equipment.
This grant is under the $40,000 budgetary threshold, and therefore, does not require full Council approval.
INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Resolution: Non Represented Emolovee 2012 Wale and Benefit Package
The Committee Members have received additional information relative to this item and have requested
the item be moved to the December 6, 2011, Finance Safety Committee meeting so that there is ample
time to review the new information. Updated information will be provided in the agenda packet for that
meeting. RETURN TO DECEMBER 6 COMMITTEE.
C. Resolution: New Finance Change Fund
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that will establish a second change fund in the amount of
$100.00 for the Finance Department. The addition of the change fund is needed for a second cash register
that has been installed in Finance Department for cash transactions related to customer purchases and
payments. This will require the repeal of Resolution No. 1721. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
D. Miscellaneous Revenue Report
Sales tax revenues continue to be above budget, with increased revenues in comparison to the same time
last year. August 2011 sales tax actuals are almost identical to 2010; hopefully, this flattening in receipts
will not be a trend. Finance staff also reviewed the top 1.0 industry classification and the 10 largest
declines. Both gambling and admissions taxes are below budget. The Committee requested that the sales
tax information be provided in two charts, rather than one (as seen on page 41 of the agenda packet). One
chart would reflect retail sales tax and the other would reflect construction sales tax. INFORMATION
ONLY.
