COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Enhance Public Safety and Emergency Response
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: YES
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The subject ordinance has been prepared to amend the 2015-2016 biennial budget to authorize revenue and expenditures unforeseen at the time the 2015-2016 biennial budget was adopted. These amendments affect the Traffic Safety Fund in the 2015-2016 biennial budget. An Office Assistant position at the Longview Police Department was eliminated on December 31, 2013 as part of budget cuts. Since that time, four new school zone camera systems have been added in the city of Longview. The volume of photo enforcement work done by police clerical staff has increased fivefold from 2012 (prior to layoff from budget cut) to 2014. Due to the increased workload, the Police Department is requesting to restore the Office Assistant position to ensure time requirements are met in processing photo enforcement paperwork and payments.
