He stated that some miscellaneous equipment items have been moved from this budget
to the City's Drug Fund. The personnel section of the proposed budget includes the
salaries and benefits for three officers, an assistant chief and the cadet program.
The equipment/vehicle maintenance section includes $20,000 for the lease of a crime
computer program. The special services line item includes $5,000 for the first offender
program and $2,000 for expenses of dog maintenance. The $127,837 in contingencies
is for gearing up when the mall becomes a reality. The $150,000 in the debt service-
principal line item will service $1.5 million in debt. The instrument and apparatus line item
contains $40,000 to fund nine video cameras and a patrol car, while the $17,000 in the
vehicle line item is for a vehicle for the assistant chief. Two-way radio lease payments

Carl Tyson asked if this budget is meeting the goals the City put forth to the citizens when
the Crime Control and Prevention District was proposed. Chief McKamie said he felt it
did and explained how each of the budgeted items would be used to accomplish those
goals. Next year the Police Department will come back to the Crime Control and
Prevention Board with an evaluation of how the goals were specifically met with CCPD
funds.
Carl Tyson asked that criteria be created to be used in that measurement. Chief
McKamie replied that those measurements are in place. He stated that the Police
Department recently received an award for reducing crime, but that in the last few months
the City has again seen an increase.
Discussion took place of how crime that is not committed can be calculated because a
police officer was on patrol, and how assaults murders, etc., are not something the Police
Department can have an impact on even with the CCPD in place.
Mr. Tyson stated that he felt the individual police districts should have specific goals of
reducing crime in their areas and that the CCPD should be proactive by providing
counseling programs.
Ron Shields pointed out that increased interaction between citizens and police officers
should be an aid in reducing some crimes. Lou Baum related the success of the Citizens
On Patrol program in the Morrisdale subdivision.
President Shields called for any proponents or opponents present to speak to the budget.
There being none, he closed the public hearing.
Finance Director Diana Ortiz reported that the Texas State Comptroller of Public Accounts
has informed the City that telecommunication services are exempt from the Crime Control
and Prevention District tax. The CCPD Board of Directors must approve a resolution
repealing that exemption in order for those services to begin collecting the quarter cent
tax. That resolution would need to be approved prior to July 1 in order for the tax on
telecommunication services to become effective October 1, 1996. A meeting was
scheduled for Tuesday, June 25, 1996, at 3:30 p.m. with the resolution to be on the
agenda at that time.
FISCAL YEAR ESTABLISHED
Upon motion by Mary Lib Saleh and second by Katie Edwards the fiscal year of the Crime
Control and Prevention District was established from October 1 through September 30 by
unanimous vote.

APPROVAL FISCAL YEAR 1996-97 BUDGET
Upon motion by Glenn Walker and second by Lou Baum the Fiscal Year 1996-97 Budget
was approved as presented by unanimous vote.
Carl Tyson asked if the revenue projected in the FY 96-97 Budget would still be reliable
since there would be less receipts because of the delayed collection from
telecommunication services. Finance Director Ortiz explained that the projected revenue
is conservative based on historical growth.
President Shields requested that the CCPD Board begin receiving monthly crime reports.
Chief McKamie assured him that would be done.
