<br /> 78 <br />Fiscal Impact Page 2 <br />The annual cost of three additional police officer positions assigned to work downtown <br />on a full time basis Friday Saturday and Sunday is $450,000. Staffing the detail during <br />the weekdays on an overtime basis as required is expected not to exceed $65,000. The <br />combined cost is $515,000. Adding three parking enforcement officers will increase our <br />casual labor costs by $54,420 each year. The total annual staffing cost of the proposed <br />policing plan is $569,420. The precise cost of a video surveillance system has not been <br />determined but will not exceed $20,000. The combined cost of staffing and equipment <br />is $589,420. If approved, it may take as long a twelve months to recruit hire and train <br />the three additional officers. The suggested staffing levels will be maintained with <br />overtime as necessary until the positions are filled. Overtime costs will clearly not <br />exceed the expense of the proposed full time positions, but the precise costs will vary <br />depending on the hire dates of the new employees. <br />Staff recommends that the costs of the downtown law enforcement plan be budgeted in <br />and charged to the parking enterprise fund. As provided for by the municipal code, <br />these costs are eligible to be charged to the parking enterprise fund. Based upon the <br />current parking enterprise fund financial projections for FY2006/07 there will be <br />sufficient revenues generated by the parking fees to support these costs. <br />Should Council concur with staff's recommended funding plan the costs associated with <br />the downtown law enforcement plan will be included in the parking enterprise fund in <br />the recommended FY2006/07 and FY2007/08 budgets that will be presented to Council <br />in June of this year. <br />l~()jL CJ~~ <br />onald atuszak Carlos G.
