Ms. Eldridge said that Board members expressed some concern about
low budgeted amounts for citizen advisory councils and the biannual
survey. She said Cmdr. Smith will give the Board a presentation on
the roles of the citizen advisory councils. The Board discussed
the biannual surveys. Mr. Loeb said if there is a survey design
that is available the Board should subscribe to it and hopefully
obtain some comparability with other communities. Mr. Kinnison
expressed the following concerns on the budget: estimated revenue
on the sales tax and what the actual tax applies to (utilities
specifically) , actual termination of the tax (five years from when)
and with the five year forecast reflecting the correct ending date,
budgeted reserve (direct and third party costs) , the drop in
operational costs in years four and five for the Juvenile
Assessment facility.
Mr. Bray distributed a copy of the letter from the Comptroller's
office regarding sales tax on telecommunication services.
Cmdr. Smith presented a report on the Citizen Advisory Councils.
Ms. Vela told the Board that the City Council would like to meet
with the Crime Control District for a status report on March 31,
1998, at noon. Mr. Kinnison suggested the Board schedule a press
conference when the tax hike goes into effect on April 1. Mr.
Bray suggested contacting Susan Cable, Communications and Quality
Management Director for the City, to work with the Board on this
press conference.
The Board scheduled the next meeting for March 25, 1998, at 3 p.m.
Ms. Vela told the Board she received a letter from JoAnn Kernick
with the National Conference of Christians and Jews requesting
possible funding from the District. A copy of this letter will be
