File Number: 17-573 <br />Other projects do not have enough General Fund appropriations to complete within this fiscal <br />year. The firearms request for appropriations has $30,000 in General Fund appropriations this <br />fiscal year, but it will not be enough to purchase all the firearms needed to outfit all 93 sworn <br />officers and also purchase the remaining rifles and equipment needed. <br />The Police Department is committed to advancing City Council Goal “C”-providing high-quality <br />public safety by growing our partnership with the community. To that end, the Police Department <br />sees a need to fund additional outreach efforts that enhance engagement about public safety <br />issues of critical importance to 21st Century policing. This effort is part of a broader department <br />strategy of becoming a learning organization and building upon the trust citizens have with the <br />department already. <br />As part of City Council Goal “C”, the Police Department set a goal to re-design the Crime and <br />Intelligence Unit. The Police Department recently hired a Crime Analyst, and staff now see a <br />need for additional funding to advance current analytical techniques. The department will invest in <br />technology that provides real-time crime dashboards that will be available to both public safety <br />personnel and community members. This Police Department effort also supports City Council <br />Goal “B” by providing a piece of the citywide analytics dashboard. <br />Not funding these projects will jeopardize operational continuity for the Police Department and <br />place a burden on the General Fund this budget cycle and the next. <br />Fiscal Impact and Budget Authority <br />There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund with this request. These are restricted funds with <br />specific legal requirements for appropriation. The Police Department is required to spend the <br />money in a way that advances public safety. These projects all comply with that legal <br />requirement. <br />The Police Department requests a total appropriation of $185,000 from Federal Asset Forfeiture <br />Fund Balance into the following accounts: <br />1. $130,000 into account #146-21-014-7410 <br />2. $35,000 into account #146-21-014-7510 <br />3. $10,000 into account #146-21-014-7401 <br />4. $10,000 into account #146-21-014-5510 <br />The Police Department requests a total appropriation of $45,000 from State Asset Forfeiture <br />Fund Balance into the following accounts: <br />1. $25,000 into account #146-21-017-7410 <br />2. $20,000 into account #146-21-017-5510 <br />This appropriation will provide the Police Department with the funding needed to complete these <br />projects as planned in Fiscal Year 2017-18. <br />PREPARED BY: Scott Koll, Police Business Manager <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/10/2017 <br />67
