President Loeb called the meeting to order. The February 16,
2000, and March 1, 2000, minutes were approved.
George Garza presented the financial report for the period ending
February 2000. Mr. Loeb asked Mr. Garza if he were aware of any
outstanding unreported expenditures that relate to the period of
this financial statement. Mr. Garza told the Board that he is
personally unaware of any, but it is possible there are a few in
accounts payable that are not reflected on the statement. Mr.
Loeb stated that the Board cannot operate properly without
accurate financial statements.
Cmdr. Smith said he would verify whether the contract from CCISD
has been received.
Rudy Garza said that there has been only one change in the budget
and financial forecast in the street lighting project, previously
estimated expenditure of $36, 000 this year and $14, 000 next year.
Because of the timing, the estimate for this year will be $25, 000
and the remaining $25, 000 for next year. That is the only
change, everything will remain the same.
Cmdr. Smith said the Chief is still looking into the forecast for
budget years 2001, 2002 , and 2003 .
Mr. Loeb said that at the last meeting Mr. Baker asked if there
was any reason other than management's choice why the Juvenile
Assessment Center could not be staffed with officers that the
District is paying for as part of the original plan instead of on
an overtime basis. Cmdr. Smith said that the original plan for
the District was to get as many of those funded 50 officers out
on the street for enforcement purposes. He said the figures for
overtime in those varied shifts is actually more cost effective

in the long run than taking an assigned number of officers to
cover the shifts because of the accounting of days off (sick
leave, vacation, compensatory time) which tends to be less
efficient overall. Cmdr. Smith said he would present the Board
with details on this reasoning.
The Board unanimously voted to hold the public hearing with their
next regular meeting on April 19th with the preliminary budget
on the agenda for 2000/2001, not to include a forecast for
subsequent years until the Board has the opportunity to meet with
the Council and receive feedback from them.
Cmdr. Smith reported that in February the Property Recovery Unit,
the three positions funded by the District, recovered $22, 000 in
property.
Mr. Valencia asked Ms. Boone about the intake section of the
Assessment Center being closed on specific days. Ms. Boone said
the Center's day intake closes on the days CCISD is closed.
Ms. Bridges said that the Chief met with Abe Saavedra about a
block grant and he was very receptive and said he would contact
the people involved.
Cmdr. Smith told the Board that three officers should be selected
for directed patrol within a month.
Mr. Loeb said he received an inquiry from a citizen about motor
scooters on the seawall. Chief Alvarez told the Board that three
officers are budgeted from Crime Control funds for the walking
motors patrol.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3: 12
p.m.
