COMMITTEE REPORTS: <br />1 1. Law Enforcement Committee - Chairman A. E. CORDUAN. <br />Chairman Corduan referred to the Committee's report dated <br />July 13, 1966 recommending approval of the Santa Clara County <br />Agreement for Sheriff's Patrol Service, which stipulates <br />coverage for five hours a day, seven days a week, for the sum <br />of $19,637.00, and further recommending for budget purposes, <br />that an additional amount be allocated which would provide <br />for increased coverage to possibly 8 or 9 hours a day, .pending <br />a determination of the needs. Chairman Corduan pointed out the <br />char;}e for Basic Law Enforcement (citizens' complaints) is not <br />a part of the fee for Patrol Service, as the County is com- <br />pensated by the Town assigning all fines and forfeitures arising <br />out of all violations of law, other than the Vehicle Code. <br />Mr. Corduan indicated the necessity of determining the compensa- <br />tion to the Sheriff's office for the Basic Law Enforcement and a <br />need for a study to clarify and define more specifically the <br />coverage proceed in the contract, with the request that the <br />Committee be consulted on any proposed change to the contract. <br />The Mayor thanked the Committee for its recommendation and <br />requested the Committee to assist the Council in matters that <br />require further study. <br />( ] OLD BUSINESS: <br />1. Budget - Fiscal Year 1966-1967. <br />Mayor Henley read letter from Councilman Aiken (who was unable <br />to attend this meeting) urging that police protection be in- <br />creased to 13 hours without increasing the tax rate. <br />Councilman Fowle thanked City Treasurer Fred Wickman for his <br />efforts in preparing the format, and presented the budget. <br />Each item was reviewed and the following two items were revised: <br />1) Police Protection - decreased from $51,060,00 to $31,420.00. <br />'Will provide for five hours per Agreement for Sheriff's Patrol <br />Services, which contract can be increased to 8 hours as the <br />needs are noted, since the amount is budgeted but not con- <br />tracted for. <br />Mayor Henley noted that this coverage would be insufficient from <br />Councilman Aiken's point of view. <br />2) Road Reeairs and Resurfacing - Increased from $4,260.00 to <br />$27,500.00. <br />Councilman Bowler questioned the economic feasibility of <br />operating City cars and requested a study on the cost per mile <br />per vehicle. <br />-2- <br />
