Title
Consideration of and action on the results of the public hearing and a proposed ordinance adopting the FY 2016-2017 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget.
Body
Summary:
The Crime Control and Prevention District Act (Chapter 363 of the Texas Local Government Code) prescribes the process for adopting the annual budget for the Crime Control and Prevention District. On June 13, 2016 the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors conducted a public hearing on the proposed FY 2016-2017 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget. On July 11, 2016 the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors approved the FY 2016-17 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget and voted to submit the budget to the City Council. The City Council is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the budget on August 16, 2016 at 7:30 PM. Afterward, during the Regular Meeting, the Council will consider action on the budget. This is because the Crime Control and Prevention District Act states that not later than the 30th day before the date the fiscal year begins, the governing body shall approve or reject the budget submitted by the board. If the Council rejects the budget submitted by the Board, the Council and the Board shall meet and together amend and approve the budget before the beginning of the fiscal year. Attached is the budget approved by the CCPD in the format for inclusion in the FY 2016-17 City Budget as a "Component Unit."
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Adoption of the FY 2016-17 CCPD budget is necessary to carry out the programs adopted by the CCPD Board and funded by the 1/4% dedicated sales tax approved by the voters.
Recommended action
Approve the proposed ordinance.
