FINANCIAL COMMENTS

In FY15-16, the Police Department will hire 1 FTE Police Records Specialist to augment our current Records team of 3.5 FTE. The new Records Specialist will provide for increased customer service by extending the availability of Records personnel, provide consistency in the areas of subpoena processing and tracking, perform data entry for offender booking, and process requests for police reports.

The Police Department submitted for renewal of the Domestic Violence grant in September of 2014. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in renewing the grant and have subsequently deleted the Domestic Violence Grant from our budget. The expenses previously associated with the grant were off-set from $62,500 in new revenue from a Commu- nity Solutions grant and $32,000 in new revenue from the City of Gilroy. The costs associated with the Domestic Vio- lence/Missing Persons Detective are paid through the General Fund.
