NOV 39 '9? 13 :ST RAN5EY COUNTY INVE'3TIGATION P.3 October 23, 1990 Summary of Changes Page two all members. At the August 1st meeting I was directed to submit a revised budget estimate using the districting plan. This plan allows each City to pay for the cost of police personnel assigned to that city. I was also instructed to prepare an estimate using a formula based on 30% mileage, 30% population and 40% events investigated. The August 29th meeting was the decision making meeting. The Committee unanimously adopted the districting plan to present to their City Councils with a phase in for 1991. The phase in involves 1/2 the old 1/3 population, 1/3 area and 1/3 events formula and 1/2 the districting plan to lessen the impact on any Contract City. It was also decided that the 1992 budget will be based totally an the districting plan. II. Addition of a Crime Prevention Officer. Traditionally the Sherif'f's Department has conducted our crime prevention efforts on a parttime basis. We would pass on the additional crime prevention duties to a County sponsored Deputy. The burden has become overwhelming. The crime prevention effort is concentrated in the Contract Cities and requires a specific Deputy to direct it. The contract group decided that this program is very important and desire to keep it going. The decision was made to hire a City Deputy for this function in July 1991. The County will continue the program until that time. The cost for the Deputy for 1991 will be $31,407. The cost per City is based solely on a population index. III. Addition of one Lieutenant to the Patrol Division. As late as 1986 the Patrol Division had a command staff consisting of a Patrol Division Commander, Deputy Division Commander, Lieutenant of Investigations, Uniform Patrol Lieutenant and shared three Watch Commander Lieutenants. In mid 1986 the Deputy Division Commander retired and was not replaced. The Watch Commander position was dropped from the Sheriff's Department and those Lieutenants were absorbed throughout the Department. This left the Patrol Division with a Commander and two Lieutenants. In 1986 the Patrol Division also moved from 3401 N. Rice to 655 W. County Road E. The move was necessary because of increased personnel in the patrol. Along with increased personnel came increased responsibility to the administrative staff. In September of 1989 the Sheriff agreed to assign an additional Lieutenant to the Patrol Division. This Lieutenant vas paid for by the County for the rest of 1989 and all of 1990 with the understanding that in 1991 the Contract Cities would pick up a portion of this Lieutenants salary. The cost of the Lieutenant is a pro rata share on a total of 99.5 patrol employees of which 41.5 or 47.717 work directly for the eight Contract Cities. I believe that most significant changes have been covered in these three areas, but this report would not be complete if we did not take a quick Page 3
