The meeting was called to order by President Loeb. The October
20, 1999, minutes were approved.
Mary Sullivan distributed the revenue summary through October 31,
1999. Mr. Loeb asked Ms. Sullivan whether the decrease in sales
tax corresponds citywide. Ms. Sullivan said sales tax is down
citywide and reminded the Board that in August the state passed
the tax-free weekend before the start of school. She followed up
from last month's meeting with the question on the balance sheet
of the difference in cash equivalence in the investment item.
She confirmed that it is a difference in the timing of. the
investments. She also discussed what constitutes
telecommunication services. She distributed a revised copy of
the contingency plan document. There was an error made in the
estimate of the telecommunication tax that was projected for the
second five-year period, lumping into that number both
electricity and telecommunications. It was not sent to City
Council due to this error. Ms. Sullivan said they are scheduled
to make a presentation on the Bond Election to the City Council
on November 30th , looking at a November 2000 election for bond
proposals. She said the City is looking at a couple of options
for sales tax as well as property taxes but there are two
projects that they recommend be financed through a ; cents sales
tax anticipating using 1/8 cents for the Crime Control District.
Mr. Loeb said he believes the Board's next step is to wait for
some guidance from the City Council after their review of the
contingency plan.

Ms. Eldridge said there was a request from Parks & Recreation for
street lighting that is an "after the fact" request for
reimbursement. She said she spoke with Mike Gordon, Parks &
Recreation, and told informed him that is not the procedure in
which the Board has handled requests. She told him that she
would present it to the Board and let them make the decision, but
in the future requests should be made in writing before
installation. The Board decided not to deviate from their policy
that requires lighting requests be made through the Chief of
Police with final approval before installation. Mr. Loeb asked
Ms. Eldridge to communicate this information to Mr. Gordon and
deny payment of the invoice submitted.
Cmdr. Smith presented a Citizen Advisory Council meeting schedule
update to the Board. He suggested several options for
encouraging attendance to these meetings with the most important
factor being the providing of food.
Mr. Loeb suggested that staff present a briefing next month or in
January on the current status of planning and implementation of
the community oriented policing plan.
Mariah Boone gave the Board an update on the Juvenile Curfew and
Truancy Assessment Center. She said that the case manager and
two intake counselors have been hired. The office assistant
position has been advertised.
Ms. Eldridge said letters have been sent to all the school
districts advising them of their allocations for 99/00 and she
received two signed contracts from Tuloso-Midway and West Oso.
She said she received a call from CCISD and clarified again that
the Board would not pay for vehicles. She gave a report on DWI
enforcement using Crime Control District overtime funding in the
downtown area. She said she met with Dr. Phil Rhoades regarding
evaluation surveys and he will be putting together a cost
proposal.
The next meeting will be December 15, 1999, at 2 : 30 p.m. at City
Hall, Basement Training Room.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3 :40
p.m.
