Council next reviewed the Police budget, noting the loss of 12 personnel, <br />and expressed concern with this decrease. Councilmember Johnson suggested <br />that the City make an effort to establish closer ties with the Court <br />system, for the purpose of informing the judges of the cost of Police <br />enforcement and the need to increase fines for repeat offenders. By <br />general consensus, the Council instructed staff to begin the proper <br />background analysis prior to City representatives meeting with rep- <br />resentatives of the Court system. The Police Chief responded to Council- <br />members' questions. <br /> <br />The Council reviewed the Public Works budget; Councilmember Young requested <br />that staff investigate new alternatives that would make the economics of <br />providing public services in this area more feasible, indicating the need <br />for a possible increase in outside contracting for services, and the need <br />for new combinations of contracted services, as well as longer contracts. <br />Councilmember Bricken suggested that the establishment of a municipal <br />corporation be investigated. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />At 3:09 p.m., the meeting was informally adjourned. <br /> <br />~lerk of the Council <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 208 JULY 5, 1983 <br /> <br /> <br />
