SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 4 4. Please clarify how the report addresses the list, particularly a, b, and c on page 2 of 3 of the agenda report. Do we provide details or a summary of how military equipment was used and the purpose of its use? Is there a summary of complaints and concerns? Are there any internal audits? A. (a) The report summarizes the uses and the general reasons listed on page 12 of the Military Equipment Use Report for 2024. (b) There were no complaints or concerns received by the police department as listed on page 11 of the Military Equipment Use Report for 2024. (c) The police department has so few uses that each use is reviewed by a sergeant and lieutenant for any violations at the time of the incident through report review including any use of force. For 2024, there has been zero reported violations of the military equipment use policy. If there were any violations of use, they would be addressed immediately. 5. Can the policy manual sections or the full report that guides the use of the equipment be shared? A. The Military Equipment Use policy can be found on the City’s website: police- department-military-equipment-policy.pdf Agenda Item #15: Review of the Proposed Two-Year Operating and Capital Budget for FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 and the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for FY 2025/26 through FY 2029/30 To provide context for the responses below pertaining to the baseline budget and the proposed budget, the baseline budget and the preliminary long-term forecast were presented to the City Council in early March. Financial projections were developed based on the FY 2024/25 mid-year budget update. As stated in the staff report at the time, “the General Fund Baseline Budget does not form the proposed City budget; rather, it represents the extension of the current year’s service levels and budget. The Baseline Budget will be further refined, considering input from the City Council, the Budget Advisory Committee, the community, and the final proposals submitted by City departments, to develop a proposed FY 2025-2027 City budget which, along with an updated long-term forecast, will be presented to the City Council in May 2025.” The intent of the baseline budget and the preliminary long-term forecast was to show the trend line. The proposed budget was developed based on updated financial data, such as revenue projections provided by the City’s consultants. Many revenue and expenditure line items were refined, and the reductions and use of one-time funds directed by the Council were incorporated into the proposed budget.
