FY06 Budget Request - Public Hearing Agenda Item 400-401
At the September 8, 2005 Budget Workshop you directed me to provide you with a list of
budget items that could be cut from the budget to fund additional police officers.
Since that meeting some of you have requested that I provide you with two options as
follows:
1. One option demonstrating the tax increases needed to fund additional police
officers if no other service reduction cuts were made. You also asked that it be
demonstrated in order of the lowest cost option to the highest cost option.
2. The other option showing budget reductions that could be made to fund additional
police officers.
In regards to the budget cut options, I want to make these important observations.
1. The budget reduction option is harmful to other programs and departments that
contribute to the public safety and the quality of life we enjoy in Winter Springs.
2. The request in the police study represents a 1.7 million dollar increase in the
police department budget equal to 1.0657 mills in additional expenses in the
General Fund without any consideration for the future needs of other departments.
Those 1.0657 mills would change the status of the City of Winter Springs from
being one of the lowest taxed to the highest taxed cities in the area.

The request before you for six officers represents only $387,000 of$1.7 million in
police department requests included in the Police Department's Study.
How do you plan to fund the additional $1,313,0007
The point here is that the idea of funding increases in law enforcement by gutting
other departments that make important contributions to public safety and the
quality of life our citizens enjoy is not only unwise, it is simply not possible.
3. Although I agree that we will need additional officers to create a new town center
zone, there is no compelling need to increase police officers this year.
4. The Police Department Study has not stood the test of peer or independent review
and should not be viewed either as a credible or in-credible basis for decision-
making until a prudent process of scrutiny is completed.
5. As part of the process of prudent review the Commission should have a clear
understanding of how these needs compare to the needs of other departments
over the same planning horizon, and the revenue growth that will occur during
this planning horizon in order to have a clear understanding of how increased
expenditures can best be timed within the growth of existing revenue, prior to the
levy of additional taxes.
6. In FY 06 the city will be faced with extraordinary expenses related to upgrading
the city's pay plan. Failure to fund merit increases this year will serve only to
exasperate that problem.
7. Due to the unprecedented increases in construction cost any further delay of City
Hall expansion could cause that cost to go up 25% to 50% each year of delay.
