Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes an appropriation of $31,628.00 from the unappropriated balance of funds in the Police Training/Entrepreneurial Fund. Ordinance 1271-00, passed in June 2000, established a special revenue fund for the Division of Police to deposit proceeds from Police training activities. Law Enforcement Agencies are charged fees for the renting of classroom space, police videotapes, and other training materials. The proceeds from these charges are deposited in the Police Training Fund. The proceeds from this fund are used to invite speakers and trainers to conduct law enforcement training sessions and to purchase training materials and supplies.
