YAKIMA, WASHINGTON AGENDA STATEMENT Item No. For Meeting Of March 4, 2008 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of legislation regarding a Police Training Program: A. A resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute contracts for police training services; and • B. An Ordinance Amending the 2008 Budget and Making Appropriations in the 000 - General Fund, Police Department SUBMITTED BY: Sam Granato, Police Chief Cindy Epperson, Financial Services Manager CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Sam Granato —'575 -6211 Rod Light — 576 -6393 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The training division within the police department continues to evolve and expand. Over the past couple of years we have been reaching out and bringing quality training to Yakima. In doing this we have found that we can provide very good training to many more officers. Since these trainers come with a cost, we are implementing a program whereby Yakima will pay for the trainers, and charge a "tuition" to attendees from neighboring jurisdictions to offset the cost of hosting the training. This program is a "win -win" situation for all of the regional agencies, as • relevant training is being held locally, which will reduce related travel costs. A ood example mple is the Street Survival seminar we are hosting in March. We have reached the number of attendees to pay the $15,000 the company is charging. We usually enter into a 30 day out contract with these companies so that if we don't have a sufficient number that will be attending to cover our costs, we opt out of the training and lose nothing. An estimate of additional training funds needed for 2008 is $50,000. The attached appropriation is balanced with interagency revenue for the tuition payments and training professional services in this same amount, as this program is anticipated to be self- sustaining.
