Chairperson Linda Bridges called the meeting to order. The minutes for January 16, 2002 were
amended to add the verbiage "for public presentations". The minutes were approved as amended
on a motion by Baker, second by Pool.
Adel Rowland presented the finance Directors report. She stated that a new organization number
has been created for the Juvenile City Marshals and funds have been transferred from the
Juvenile Assessment Center into this org number. Linda Bridges asked if there were any street
lighting requests pending. Pat Eldridge stated there was one invoice pending for an estimated
$3000. Cmdr. Smith stated the lighting requests have not been very expensive because the
requests for lighting generally are a replacement of burned bulbs or placing a higher intensity
bulb.
Cindy O'Brien presented the proposed FY 02/03 budget. A revised copy was distributed and she
explained the revisions. She further explained the projects that will end 03/31/03 and this is
reflected as a —0- in the last 4 months. She further stated the interest earnings would also go
down due to less revenue and a depleting fund balance. Linda Bridges asked if the district was
going to share the costs of the election with anyone else. Pat Eldridge explained that at this time
the district was the only issue on the ballot so there would be no sharing of costs.
Larry Baker asked what the financial costs would be if the district failed. Cmdr. Smith stated
there was no way to tell at this point. Linda Bridges asked if the remaining fund balance could be
used to pay some of the costs. Cmdr. Smith said the district has some time to complete all fiscal
business. Steve Zastrow will research the exact procedures for terminating the district if it does
not pass. Linda Bridges asked where the funds will go at the end of the period.
Linda Bridges asked how the cost of Juvenile City Marshals compared to the cost of Police
Officer overtime. The cost is budgeted as less cost for the Juvenile City Marshals.
Isaac Valencia commented we should have concentrated more on capital outlay than recurring
costs when the plan was originally conceived. Linda Bridges stated the plan would need to be
reviewed in the future in regards to how many programs the sales tax can support.
Pat Eldridge reviewed the budget adoption calendar. The budget must be adopted by May 18.

Cindy O'Brien said the budget must be submitted by March 22 as is with the remaining City
budgets. Linda Bridges requested all members to come to the next meeting with any changes or
suggestions to the budget.
Linda Bridges asked what the City Council wants for their March 15 retreat. Cmdr. Smith stated
he thought they would discuss the 5 vs. 10-year option. The Board members discussed both
options. Cmdr. Smith stated it is difficult for the Board to make this decision until they have the
5 and 10-year proforma available for review. Linda Bridges agreed stating that we must show
we are capable of sustaining ourselves in 5 and 10 year plans. The Board agreed to go forth with
the 5-year option.
Cmdr. Smith distributed the Directed Patrol activity sheets. He stated the community policing
van has arrived and is available for a tour after the meeting. Asst. Chief Bung stated the SWAT
Rescue Vehicle would arrive in 60 to 90 days.
Pat Eldridge announced a Celebrity Graffiti Wipe Out project and invited the members.
Larry Baker asked if the Solid Waste issue over a pending bill has been resolved. Chief Alvarez
stated it has been resolved.
Mariah Boone gave the quarterly report on the Juvenile Assessment Center. She stated the
Juvenile City Marshalls would be taking over for the Police nighttime curfew beginning March
Vicki Alexander asked if the Citizen Advisory Council's were still meeting. Cmdr. Smith stated
yes, but attendees are getting fewer. The groups are getting smaller into the neighborhoods.
The meeting adjourned at 3:40 pm.
