Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes : Two. Absent : Collier. Motion carried. The Police Chief reported on the availability of funding to purchase a second laser speed gun. The Police Department' s general fund budget requires a budget amendment of $225, 419 in order to fund the city council approved 3 percent salary increase and FY96 late billing from the consolidated dispatch.

Last month, the Police Department applied for a grant for moving traffic radar units from the Governors Traffic Safety Bureau to purchase 5 radar units.

The cost to purchase a laser gun is $4, 500 and the moving traffic radar costs $1, 800 . The Police Department would rather have multiple units of the moving traffic radar as they are more versatile and can be constantly operated while the patrol car is in motion.

Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Collier asked the Police Chief for the amount of funds available in the Law Enforcement Trust Fund. Koehrsen stated that the balance is approximately forty thousand dollars. Koehrsen has presented a plan to Mayor Rooff which identifies the balance of the funds should be used to purchase new police helmets for approximately $20,000 and ten new in-car video cameras during the next year. Collier requested that the Police Chief review his budget for available funds to purchase an additional traffic control laser gun, and suggested that the travel budget line item might bear the burden of that purchase. Koehrsen responded that the majority of travel dollars are dedicated to pay for training costs of new employees but he could review his general fund budget to identify areas that may cover the cost of the five thousand dollar laser gun as requested. Another funding source which could be used is the Law Enforcement Block Grant funds. The grant funding request was for equipment and overtime but it may be available to be used for this purpose if approval is received from the Department of Justice. Councilperson Jordan asked if the laser gun would generate enough revenue to pay for itself. Koehrsen responded that it would not on a dollar for dollar basis as additional costs are incurred with court time and salaries for additional staff. Koehrsen will report back to the committee on possible funding sources for a new laser gun.
