<br />WS – Item 1 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: March 28, 2016 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator <br /> <br />Re: ACE Program <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />At the March 7 work session, Public Safety Director Swenson said the department is no <br />longer able to keep up with the volume of participants in the ACE Program. Director <br />Swenson laid out three options for addressing the staff shortage created by the increase in <br />ACE activity. Presently, the City is not accepting anyone who received a speeding ticket, <br />which significantly reduces the amount of participants in the program. <br /> <br />As Mr. Swenson and Ms. Cotton pointed out in their March 7 memo, the estimated <br />revenue in the 2016 budget through the ACE Program is $$65,000. Based on the activity <br />to date, the revenue forecast is about $108,000, which is an increase of $43,000. <br /> <br />One of the options to address the staff shortage is to add one part-time CSO to assist in <br />the administration of the ACE Program. The cost is $24,884, which includes wages and <br />benefits. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Staff recommends hiring a part-time to CSO to help administer the ACE Program. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />March 7, 2016 Memo <br />Ace Presentation <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
