BACKGROUND:
The United States Department of Justice through the Bureau of
Justice Assurance has earmarked $150 million dollars for the Police
Hiring Supplement Program. $75 million dollars will be set aside
for cities with population under 150, 000 . The purpose of the
program is to hire new police officers, and/or re-hire police
officers who were laid-off or furloughed due to financial
• difficulties. Communities applying for the funds must be actively
involved in community policing and commit to .using these officers
in a community oriented policing plan. The City is eligible for up
to $1, 000, 000 for a period of three (3) years. The funds may be
used only to pay salaries and fringe benefits of new and/or re-
hired police officers.
At the September 22, 1993 Public Hearing on the Budget, the
Administration advised the Mayor and Commission that we were
preparing the grant application. The Administration did file the
grant application and has requested federal. financial assistance
for twenty-eight (28) new police officers.
The total estimated cost of hiring the new twenty-eight (28) police
officers for a three (3) year period is $3, 582,400 of which
$1, 000, 000 will be funded by the grant and $2, 582,400 will be
