PUBLIC HEARING, FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005 BUDGET
President Snitz opened the public hearing at 4:07 to receive input on the Crime Control
and Prevention District Budget for Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
Director of Fiscal and Administrative Services Loretta Getchell distributed a current year
budget with projected ending balances for comparison in considering the proposed FY05
budget. She stated that the projected fund balance of$391,313 will be carried forward to
the Fiscal Year 2005 budget. She noted that the addition of Acme Brick to the City will be
a sizeable increase in revenue to the budget. That projected revenue has been included
for six months of receipts from Acme, but there is a possibility they will actually be
operational nine months of the fiscal year. Ms. Getchell reviewed individual items and
pointed out the ones that were unchanged from the current year. Police Chief Leonard
Carmack stated that the increase in the training budget is due to an expected turnover in
their Criminal Investigation Division and additional training in economic thefts and identity
thefts. Ms. Getchell stated that the projected ending fund balance for Fiscal Year 2005
would be $405,673. A portion of that would be used to fund six capital items leaving an
estimated ending fund balance for Fiscal Year 2005 of$274,049.
Chief Carmack and Assistant Police Chief Bob Freeman reviewed the capital items.
Chief Carmack stated that the ballistic vests have to be replaced every ten years due to
the deterioration of the material in them. He reported that the public safety officer
program was implemented the previous year and had been successful in an effort to
impact the overtime they were experiencing in the detention program. He said that not
only has it helped to reduce overtime costs, but the program has given them some good
candidates for full time positions. Chief Carmack reviewed the Prism Shooting Simulator
program and stated that the City of Euless would like to enter into an interlocal agreement
with the City of Irving to use their system six weeks a year for the next ten years. In return
the City of Euless would pay for an upgrade to the Irving system. The cost would be
$55,000 paid during the first year, with no additional payment required during the
remaining nine years. Each officer would have the opportunity to participate twice each
year in the shooting simulator program.
Assistant Chief Freeman stated that each of the department vehicles have a radar unit in
them and these must be replaced periodically. They are looking at units that encompass
new technology that allows the radar to pick up activity from various directions. The
request for rifles will allow the department to place a rifle in the vehicle of each sergeant.
The ballistic shields are maintained in the supervisor's vehicle and the two in service
currently were purchased in the 1980's.

Mayor Pro Tern Porterfield asked Chief Carmack to research innovative ways to curtail
red light runners and to see if some program could be funded by a future CCPD budget to
assist in that venture.
There were no proponents or opponents present and President Snitz closed the public
hearing at 4:55 p.m.
