2. Receive an Update on Measure S Unaudited FY22 Revenues, Expenditures, and Capital
Improvement Projects
City Manager Wier stated that 77% of the community members voted to keep Measure S in
place by voting no on Measure T. He outlined how the funds have already helped the
community. He introduced Dennis Dong, an architect with CHD, that will be responsible for
doing the Police Department Facility Improvement Project. Mr. Dong spoke about how he has
done several public safety facilities and his preference for working for a small community. He
went over his proposed design plans for the Crescent City Police Department. Chief Griffin went
over the parts of the project that will give the officers a good break room so they can get the rest
they need in between calls. There will also be extra parking and a training room on site so the
in-house perishable training can be done. Committee Member Mattz left the room at 6:05 p.m.
and returned momentarily. City Manager Wier stated that one of the requests will be the
approval of $20k for additional structural and geotechnical reports for the PD Facility
Improvement Project. Mr. Dong stated that the current building was not built for the California
Accessibility Act and has accessibility issues that need to be addressed. He met with Chief
Griffin to go over the plan that will resolve the accessibility issues. Vice-Chair Perry asked if the
drainage on F Street would be a problem for this project; Mr. Dong stated that will be reviewed.
City Manager Wier stated that a geotechnical report will be done. Committee Member Reno
asked about the overhead cover for the officers in the parking lot; Chief Griffin stated that will be
in a future plan. Chair Schellong asked if the PD could use the WWTP conference room for
training; Chief Griffin stated that it could be used for training in the meantime. Chief Carey
reported to the Committee that at the beginning of January or February the Fire Captains will be
selected. He also reported on the training, equipment and stipend changes that have been
implemented. Chair Schellong asked about the SCBA bottle and if they had been purchased
yet; Chief Carey stated that they had not but will be soon. City Manager Wier stated that the
thermal imaging cameras may have a EOC funding component. City Manager Wier went over
the FY21/22 Budget-to-Actual: Fund Balance 6/31/21: $332,467; the FY21/22 Revenue: Budget:
$2million – actual $2,248,000; FY21/22 Expenses: Budget: $2,335,878 – actual $2,175,182 and
there are unallocated funds 6/30/22 of $405,485. The FY21/22 Budget-to-Actual for the Fire
Department: Budget - $226,333 – actual - $185,796. For the Police Department – Budget -
$229,579 – actual - $223,293. The FY21/22 Budget-to-Actual for Streets: budget - $981,233 –
actual - $929,419. For the Pool – budget - $891,233 – actual - $832,375. Vice-Chair Perry
stated that he doesn’t believe the CCPD project can be done with the additional $20k for the
additional structural and geotechnical reports for the PD and expects a request for more
funding.

• Further Committee discussion
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. MS2022-04, A RESOLUTION OF THE
CRESCENT CITY MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AMENDING THE
COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATION FOR FY22-23 MEASURE S EXPENDITURES
The Committee was in unanimous consensus for the $20k expenditure for additional structural
and geotechnical reports for the Police Department Facility Improvement Project.
City Manager Wier gave a presentation on the FY 22/23 budget. He gave the Committee an
update on current funding sources from the State. Chair Schellong left the meeting at 6:45 p.m.
Chief Carey reported to the Committee the needs of the Department and what is being requested
of the Measure S Oversight Committee to approve the expenditures. The Utility Skid Mounted
Pump will give the fire department more flexibility and better productivity to fight fires. Vice-Chair
Perry asked if this will fit in the current vehicles; Chief Carey answered in the affirmative. He
reported to the Committee the thermal imaging cameras that are being requested for funding and
showed an old one to the Committee. He stated this piece of equipment is vital to help firefighters
fight fires and rescue people who may be inside buildings. The newest camera they have is 6-7
years old and currently, other departments are being relied on for thermal imaging. Vice-Chair
Perry asked how many they will be able to purchase for that amount; Chief Carey stated that they
will get twelve, Crescent Fire Protection District will assist in the funding. Vice-Chair Perry asked
if the radios will have an EOC grant match; Chief Griffin explained that there is that funding
available and explained how it would work. He reported to the Committee what the non-contact
substance analyzer was and showed an example. Field Safety Officer Smith explained why the
old test kits are no safe for the officers to use due to the chemicals within them and the exposure
possibilities that exist. The machine that is being proposed for purchase will test the drug right
through the bag. Committee Member Reno asked if there would be an initial training available as
well as ongoing training, will there also be a need for calibration often; Chief Griffin stated that
there will be training. Committee Member Reno stated that this is a necessary purchase for officer
safety. Chief Griffin then explained the request for the forensic cell phone analyzer and how it will
be used by the officers to help in the investigation of crimes. This will be a shared cost between
the police department, sheriff’s department and District Attorney’s office. IT will be certified to be
able to work on this equipment. Committee Member Reno asked if the $17k was the split between
the City, County, and DA; Chief Griffin stated that it is the full yearly cost of the project. Committee
Member Mattz asked how many times this will be used and will it go over budget; Chief Griffin
stated that he has areas in his budget that can cover it, but he doesn’t expect for that to occur.
Chief Griffin reported to the Committee that the part-time position funding request is due to a
former employee who wants to come back to work for the PD in the capacity of Police Records
Specialist. He further explained that she will be able to train the new Records Specialist that was
hired in her place and cover when the other Records Specialist is out of the office to keep things
operating smoothly. It would be 10 hours for the next six months in the amount of $7,600. City
Manager Wier went over the resolution up for adoption. Economic Development and Recreation
Director Taylor gave an update on the pool floor repair. Vice-Chair Perry asked what the status
was on replacing the pool boilers; City Manager Wier explained what was discussed and
3|Page
12/21/22 MEASURE S MINUTES
approved at the last Council meeting regarding this project. City Manager Wier went over the
Measure S Oversight Committee’s upcoming meeting schedule: March 13, 2023 – Measure S
FY23 Expenditure Update & FY24 Budget Workshop, March 27, 2023 – short meeting to review
direction given at 3/13 meeting and adopt resolution for FY24 budget recommendations, May 11,
2023 Chair of Measure S Oversight Committee to present FY24 budget recommendations to the
Council at the Council Budget Workshop, and June 5, 2023 – Council to adopt FY24 Budget.
Vice-Chair Perry asked about the non-contact substance analyzer and asked if it was necessary
for the safety of the officers; Chief Griffin answered in the affirmative. Vice-Chair Perry spoke in
opposition to using Measure S funds for the cellphone analyzer and requested more research.
Committee Members Mattz and Reno agreed with Vice-Chair Perry’s opinion of the cellphone
analyzer. Vice-Chair Perry wasn’t sure it met the requirements of Measure S funds as emergency
service. Chief Griffin stated that he looked at it enhances the cases for more indictments, gets
criminals off the streets, kidnapped children, etc. Committee Member Reno stated he would like
to see this come back for discussion after the review to make sure that this is appropriate use of
Measure S funds. He further stated that the City should purchase it outright and if other agencies
need to use it, they can enter into an agreement which will have a small fee for using the
equipment. City Manager Wier stated he believes that it does fall under appropriate use of
Measure S funds but will have City Attorney Rice review it. City Manager Wier asked when the
next round of funding would be available; Chief Griffin stated it would be next fiscal year. City
Attorney Rice stated that the ballot measure language says the funds would be used to fund
emergency services to include the Crescent City Police Department and the Crescent City Fire
and Rescue. It’s her opinion that this purchase is fine, however, it’s up to interpretation of the
Committee. The language is broad enough that the funds support the police department as it is
an emergency response service. Vice-Chair Perry asked Chief Griffin if he believed the cellphone
analyzer would be the same for officer safety as the non-contact analyzer; Chief Griffin stated it
would be used to apprehend someone who is a danger to the community, so therefore is an officer
safety piece of equipment. The Committee Members were in agreement that it was a useful tool
for the PD and a proper use of Measure S funds.
There were no public comments.
On a motion by Committee Member Reno, seconded by Committee Member Mattz and carried
on a 3-0 polled vote with Chair Schellong being absent, the Measure S Oversight Committee
approved and adopted Resolution No. MS2022-04, A RESOLUTION OF THE CRESCENT CITY
MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AMENDING THE COMMITTEE’S
RECOMMENDATION FOR FY22-23 MEASURE S EXPENDITURES.

Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2023-08, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL
YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY
BACKGROUND
On December 21, 2022, the Measure S Oversight Committee was presented with a
Measure S update that included the recommendation that additional Measure S funds be
allocated for Crescent City Fire and Rescue to purchase thermal imaging cameras, partial
funding of radios to be matched by grant funds, and a skid mounted pump. The
Committee also recommended that the City Council allocate additional funds for the
FIRE/CCPD MEASURE S FUNDS 2
January 30, 2023
Crescent City Police Department to fund an additional part-time Police Records Specialist
position and to purchase new equipment for the police department, including a forensic
cellphone analyzer and a non-contact substance analyzer. The Measure S Oversight
Committee voted unanimously to recommend the budget changes and new equipment
purchases to the City Council.
On January 17th, the City Council received the recommendation from the Measure S
Oversight Committee and adopted Resolution No. 2023-03 amending the General Fund
Fiscal Year 2022 / 2023 budget in the net amount of $112,100. However, after discussion
with staff regarding Police and Fire Department radio needs and being informed that grant
funding for the Fire Department radios is now not expected to come in this fiscal year, the
Council further directed that staff bring back a subsequent budget amendment to include
funding to purchase all needed fire and police radios before the expected pricing increase
on February 1, 2023. In addition, the Council directed staff to analyze the existing
personnel budget in the Police Department to determine if due to vacancies the part-time
Police Records Specialist budget request could be absorbed by the current Police
Department personnel budget.
ITEM ANALYSIS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Carey requests the following expenditures to fully equip the fire department with
new radios:
• $52,000 additional expense for Fire Department radios, with additional revenue of
$26,000 from the Crescent Fire Protection District.
o The Fire Department is currently using outdated radios; this expense will
ensure that each firefighter will be equipped with a new radio. The Crescent
Fire Protection District will fund 50% of the expense.
o The total cost for the radios is $75,000. The City will purchase the radios
and then the Fire District will reimburse 50%, for a net City cost of $37,500.
The City previously allocated $23,000 for this expense with a revenue of
$11,500 to be provided by the District. The net cost of this purchase will be
funded through Measure S.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
After analyzing the personnel budget for the Police Department, it was determined that
the existing budget is sufficient to fund the expense of the part time Police Records
Specialist through June 30, 2023. However, upon reviewing the current department
expenses, staff is requesting the Measure S Committee and Council consider the
following budget modifications:
• ($7,600) Credit for part-time Police Records Specialist allocation approved in the
previous resolution. The Records Specialist position expense this fiscal year will
FIRE/CCPD MEASURE S FUNDS 3
January 30, 2023
be covered by the regular General Fund budget (not Measure S) with savings from
current vacancies.
• $17,500 additional new Police Department radios.
o The Motorola radios the officers currently used are no longer being
manufactured or supported. This budget will purchase new radios for each
officer. Matched by existing budget previously allocated, the OES grant will
fully fund this additional allocation. (Note the Measure S portion of the
funding for this item was previously approved. Council action tonight is
requested to amend the City’s budget to reflect the revenue and expense
of the OES grant portion of the purchase.)
• $4,000 additional for the non-contact substance analyzer.
o The original quote for the analyzer did not include sales tax. This purchase
will be funded through Measure S.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The above requested expenditures result in a net impact to the Measure S budget of
$22,400 ($65,900 in expenditures less $26,000 to be reimbursed by the Fire District and
$17,500 to be reimbursed by OES). The recently completed Measure S fund audit shows
a balance as of June 30, 2022 of $405,485. This is a result of actual FY 21/22 revenues
coming in at $2,248,000, which was $248,000 above the budgeted $2,000,000 and actual
expenses coming in at $2,175,82, which was $160,696 below the budgeted amount of
$2,335,878.
The current approved FY22/23 Measure S budget includes $2,000,000 in projected sales
tax revenue and $2,116,060 in net expenses (after the Fire District reimbursement for
certain Fire Department shared expenses), for a budgeted reduction in fund balance of
(116,060). This is based on the budget recommended by the Measure S Oversight
Committee, which can vary slightly from the official adopted budget due to reimbursed
expenses and variances in labor costs.
If these additional expenses are approved, the projected Measure S fund balance would
be $267,025 at the end of this fiscal year (June 30, 2023). The City utilizes HDL
Companies to assist us in projecting annual sales tax revenue, and we expect an updated
projection in late January or February. Any changes to the revenue projection will be
addressed at the mid-year budget update, along with any updates in year-to-date
expenses.
