SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Ordinance No. 3131 created the public safety fund and specified the purposes for which those funds might be used. The City Council now wishes to clarify and expand the permissible uses of surplus moneys in that fund in recognition that moneys expended for purposes such as law enforcement capital facilities and equipment also enhance public safety.
On May 12, 2016, Council directed the City Attorney to draft an ordinance amending LMC 3.60 to expand the eligible uses of the Public Safety fund. That ordinance is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt Ordinance 3320
