ITEM TITLE: Resolution 1191S7 7 Authorizing the Expenditure of $300 out
of the Appropriated Contingency Reserve
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Managert"_ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
The Chula Vista Police Department and the Chula Vista Police Association will
be honoring the retirement of 10 police officers who have retired from the
Department in the last several weeks. 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.
