Title
Consideration of and action on a recommendation to City Council to amend the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Crime Control and Prevention District budget for election costs.
Body
Summary:
The Crime Control Prevention District is set to expire in year 2026. In order to renew the District, it is necessary to hold an election. City Council and the Board of Directors for the Crime Control Prevention District have agreed to hold an election to renew the District in year 2025 rather than wait for the expiration year of 2026. The estimated cost to hold the election is $12,000.00, which shall be evenly split between the Crime Control Prevention District and the Fire Control Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District, which is also up for renewal. The cost to hold the election was not budgeted for; therefore, it is necessary to amend the Crime Control Prevention District’s budget for fiscal year Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to include an additional $6,000.00.
On February 4th, action is to be taken at the regular City Council meeting regarding the ordinance to amendment the budget.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $6,000.00 to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget for the Police Department (Account No. 820-300-43460, Election Supplies) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the Crime Control and Prevention District, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the recommendation to City Council to amend the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Crime Control and Prevention District budget for the Police Department for election costs.
