Approval of and authorization to reprogram fiscal year 2026 residual capital improvement funds to fund a new fiscal year 2026 capital improvement project to purchase a crash data retrieval tool for the police department’s Traffic Specialist Unit
End
Background:
In June 2025, the City Council voted and adopted the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2026. In an effort to be transparent, it is internal policy to bring to your attention a request to reappropriate funds from one project or projects to another or to re-appropriate funds for a new project or purchase not already approved as part of the current Annual Budget.
As it pertains to this budget transfer request, the police department asks for approval to transfer residual funds from the listed completed capital project which has already been finished to a new project which will facilitate the purchase of a crash data retrieval (CDR) tool for the Traffic Specialist Unit. This tool will allow investigators the ability to gather data from the “black boxes” installed in modern vehicles. The data will be used in connection with high profile traffic collision investigations. Currently, we have to rely on support from outside law enforcement agencies to perform this necessary evidence gathering task.
The donor project has been completed. We are not asking for more money but for permission to make use of funds already appropriated to the police department through the budget approval process. Specifically, we are asking to transfer six-thousand one hundred ($6,100.00) from roof repair project #263010 to the new CRD project, #2630430. The roof repair project has sufficient residual funds to accommodate the request.
Cost: $6,100.00
Funding Source: Fund 344, Project #2630430
Requested By: Lance Arnold, Chief of Police
Approved By: City Manager’s Office
