revisions on the present draft of the Ordinance and it will be
presented to the Committee of Whole for approval.
3. Chief Graff presented to the Committee a copy of his budget for
the FY 94/95. The budget was broken down and the following
areas were discussed:
A. Coital Improvements
1. Chief Graff 's top priority for capital
Improvements was acquiring a new squad car and
equipment for the squad cars. The new squad
will replace the oldest patrol squad that is
being used by the officers at this time.
The Chief informed the Committee that the
department's unmarked squad was given to the
Dept. of Public works for transportation. As a
result, the Committee suggested meeting with
the Public Works Committee to come up with a
standard maintenance schedule for all City
vehicles.
2 . police equipment was designated as being
another top priority. This would include new
radio equipment such as two additional portable
radios to replace the existing older models,
and the replacement of the antenna for the
City band radio that is used by the
department.
Also needed by the department is a new 35 mm
camera to replace the old one that is presently
used.
3 . The utilization of a dictaphone system by
Yorkville is being discussed as to it's
efficiency and the time that will be saved,
allowing the officer's to spend more time on
assignments as compared to paperwork.
B. Employee Salaries
1 . The salary was presented to the Committee as a
plan with 8 full time officers, instead of
the present 7 officers, along with the three
Supervisory positions and the Chief. Lt. Barna
distributed a copy of a model minimal staffing
plan using this example, which would allow for
two patrol, officer coverage, along with a
Supervisor on duty at most times.
The first draft of the police Department operating budget
presented to the Committee shows a total increase of 17.5% from
FY 93/94 to FY 94/95.
Alderman Jones suggested the raising of the Impact fees to
relieve some of the funds on the Chief's budget, this matter
will be brought to the Committee of the whole for discussion.
