Session 1849 <br />August 12, 2002 <br /> <br />AGENDA #4- PUBLIC HEARING - BUDGET EXPENDITURE FOR 2002 LAW <br />ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT: <br /> <br />We have posted notice of a public hearing for 7:30 p.m. in these Council Chambers on <br />August 12, 2002 to hear comments on the proposed budget expenditure request for <br />Law Enforcement Block Grant 2002 (LEBG) funds. At this time, the public is invited to <br />make any comments or suggestions regarding the proposed dispersal of these funds, <br />which is proposed to be allocated as follows: <br /> <br />$20,000 - Replace Record Room Copier <br />$ 2,100 - Install shotgun Trunk Security Mounts in Investigations Vehicles <br />$ 3,000 - Computer for Bureau of Field Operations <br />$ 8,000 - Clothing lockers for department employees <br /> <br />The total cost of these expenditures is estimated at $33,100, while the specific grant <br />award is $34,313. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. and immediately closed it due to <br />lack of citizen requests to speak. <br /> <br />Responding to Ms. Colquitt, Mr. Ollendorff was unsure of the number of vehicles that <br />Trunk Security Mounts would be purchased for - he will find out and call her tomorrow. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff replied that 100% of the grant monies <br />would pay for these expenditures. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Ollendorff said that the Police Department makes these <br />expenditure recommendations. He also stated that all of these items were <br />recommended in the police budget proposal last spring and were approved with local <br />money. Now we find we can get some federal money to pay for these items. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ollendorff said that the copier is old and failing and was <br />planned to be replaced next fiscal year. Since the copier continues to require large <br />maintenance bills and federal money was available now, the decision was made to <br />replace it now versus waiting until next year. It is a modernized piece of equipment and <br />provides features that the old one did not. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved approval. Ms. Welsch seconded the motion, which carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA #5 - 2003 CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommends approval of next year's Council meetings at 7:30 p.m. and <br />budget study meetings at 7:00 p.m. as follows: <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
