Police Department
The following highlights are included in the FY 2013-14 Adopted Budget for Police PSST:
• FY 2013-14 marks the 4th year that a portion of Measure G revenue (Police portion) is set
aside for a capital project fund to enhance police services. The set aside amount was
$92,500 in FY 2011-12, $48,000 for FY 2012-13, and $48,000 in the FY 2013-14 Adopted
Budget. This fund is currently being used for the annual debt service of $65,800 on a 48
month lease-purchase of eight (8) police vehicles that began in June 2012.
• The Adopted PSST budget assumes that half of the cost of restoring prior salary givebacks
(from FY 2011-12) by employees in the Reedley Public Safety Employees Association is
paid from PSST. In other words, the cost of doing away with the 4.0% wage suspension
will be shared equally by PSST and the General Fund. All affected positions reflect this in
budgeted cost allocations.
• The FY 2013-14 Adopted Budget includes a $5,000 decrease to the Victim Services Unit
MOU for space rental, and a $10,000 decrease in funding for the Boys & Girls Club.
• Maintenance & Operations appropriations reflect requested appropriations for the
Command Central Contract ($6,300), a one-time purchase of an evidence drying locker
($5,000), and RDT entry vests ($3,600).
Fire Department
The Public Safety Sales Tax continues to benefit the City of Reedley and Fire Department
allowing for needed personnel, training and equipment that would otherwise be unattainable.
The following are highlights for FY 2012-13 and Adopted Budget appropriations for FY 2013-14:
• In FY 2012-13, a new account line item (003-4308-1020) in the amount of $54,000 was
established for paid-call firefighter salaries, only be utilized if the General Fund
appropriation for Part-Time salaries are exceeded due to higher than expected call
volume. The fiscal year end estimate for this line item is $46,851. This level of call
volume is expected to be sustained, therefore the appropriation request remains for FY
2013-14.
• FY 2012-13 represented the final year of debt service ($50,400/yr) for repayment to Fire
Developer Impact Fee fund for the Medical Response Vehicle.
• FY 2013-14 Adopted Budget appropriations reflect an appropriation for uniforms
($4,000) and personal safety equipment ($15,000) for the firefighters due to increased
call volume, staff turnover, and higher cost for supplies.
• FY 2013-14 Adopted Budget PSST capital appropriations have two projects specific to
the Fire Department; 1) replacement/upgrade of the apparatus room doors at an
estimated cost of $60,000, and 2) replacement of a command vehicle. The appropriation
for the door upgrade is approximate as the project has not yet been bid. For the
command vehicle, appropriations assume the estimated first year payment amount of a
lease-purchase arrangement, and an outright purchase of necessary vehicle
modifications and equipment.
