On June 12, 2017, the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors (“Board”) conducted a public hearing on the proposed FY 2017-2018 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget. On July 10, 2017, the Board approved the FY 2017-2018 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 15, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. Afterward, during the regular meeting, the City Council will consider action on the budget. This schedule is in accordance with the Crime Control and Prevention District Act, which 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 City Council rejects the budget submitted by the Board, the City Council and the Board shall meet and together amend and approve the budget before the beginning of the fiscal year, which is October 1. Attached is the budget approved by the CCPD Board formatted for inclusion in the FY 2017-2018 City Budget as a "Component Unit."
