As a tribute to these individuals, some of whom have served in excess of 30 years on the Department and collectively representing nearly 300 years of police work, it has been suggested that the City contribute the sum of $300 toward expenses that will be incurred due to various program expenses. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution authorizng the expenditure of $300 from the appropriated Contingency Reserve. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N.A. DISCUSSION: The large number of police officers that have retired during the last several weeks is a phenomenon that probably will not occur again in the foreseeable future. Inasmuch as many of the honorees have devoted their entire working careers as police officers for the City of Chula Vista, the relatively small monetary token of appreciation offered in behalf of the community appears worthy of consideration. Since this is an unanticipated expense, we are recommending that the City Council favorably consider appropriating the suggested amount from the appropriated Contingency Reserve. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available in the appropriated Contingency Reserve account. ERA:Im Al 13PD WPC 9001A 9-7"4 — „ rd's'
