City Attorney Edwards reported that with regard to the new bill allowing for an increase in Council Salaries, he has written a memo explaining that before the present Council could benefit from a pay increase, it would need to adopt an ordinance making the change; further, there would need to be a change in the status of the Council before the change could be effected. Mr. Edwards said in other words, if there were no Council vacancy before the next municipal election, the increase would not occur until Spring 1986. Police: Acting Chief of Police Connolly stated he has prepared a memo to the Council explaining the funds requested for the Command Center. Chief Connolly stated that the State has given the City the equipment for the 911 Emergency Dispatch, however, the remodeling and locating of the equipment in the basement was the idea of the City and the City will not be reimbursed for this. Council will refer back to Account 89, Page 302. Page 303, Canine - Chief Connolly stated the increase in this divi- sion is due to a car and man being transferred in from another divi- sion. Chief Connolly said they do not presently have the additional dog, however, the dog willbe available in about 3 weeks. Community Relations - Discussion followed on Uniform Allowance in this budget and that listed in the Administrative portion. Chief Connolly explained his Uniform Allowance is paid out of Community Relations, while Mr. Elliott's allowance is paid out of the Adminis- trative budget. Councilwoman Cisneros asked if this was covered by an M.O.U. City Attorney Edwards stated if the question was whether the Council has to fund this expenditure, the answer is no.
