Mayor Rocky Randels
General Fund
Fire Department
Fire Chief David Sargeant - refer to memo and PowerPoint sheets. Did a
comparison for cost if county provides the same service.
Basic contract increased due primarily to the addition of the assistant fire chief.
Insurances are estimates. Premiums have not been confirmed.
Of $140,000
• $10,000 is for hose, small equipment replacement, such as pagers and
axes.
• Pumper is 21 years old and chassis is nearly 9 years old. Need to continue
sharing costs with the port.
• 80% of calls are medical. 2% are fires. Remainder other calls.
• Trying to get away from running pumpers to medical runs.
• $75k of the 140k for the small truck the one needed does not come in
automatic transmission.
• Remainder of money is for self- contained breathing apparatus. Have been
budgeting 3k each year to maintain the apparatus, of which some is 20
years old. National Fire Regulations adopted regulations in effect October 1,
1999. No option to get an upgrade.
Total cost of $103,282 to be split evenly with the Port.

There is a lease option available. 2771 plus 476 for pass alarms. Everyone has to
have his or her own masks. 24 units and 24 spare cylinders. Will give them 24
free bottles 850 per bottle. Canaveral Port Authority will purchase unused
bottles. Municipal tax-free financing — not a real lease option. 5.25 to 5.75% or
16k to 20k per year.
31,500 for next five years rather than the whole amount from reserves now.
75k is not available now, but can be earmarked each year to ultimately pay.
$8,500 used for repair and maintenance if it exceeds $500.
$4,500 for maintaining the 800mhz radios. There is no other vendor.
Pension has not changed. $100 per month after 62 for those volunteers with ten
years consecutive service.
Demonstrated the 5-year capital plan.
Aerial truck will be needed in FY03 /04 that will cost $324,000.
Should get a combination truck that can be used for everything. Sell the pumper
and aerial trucks. Will take minimally $110,000 per year to achieve the plan.
This replacement vehicle is not fundable with impact fees because it is a
replacement.
Mayor Pro Tem Petsos: this should be taken out of reserves and the money set -
aside over the next five years. Lease option or financing is not the prudent action.
Recessed at 7:35 pm. Reconvened at 7:47pm.
Sheriff's contract
Deborah Barker, Major McGee, Steve Kreuzkamp present.
Mr. Kreuzkamp presenting. What Major has accomplished and plans for the future.
Mayor Randels — graphs demonstrate that all categories have increased. It must be
reduced. McGee most are crimes are crimes of opportunity. Cars parked at beaches,
etc. Vacationing people. How would you propose to do that? More staff power. Now on
12 hour shifts.
SID 17 cases initiated; cases closed 12; 16 arrests.
Tape 2
Major McGee presented where we're headed next year. (Goals)
New operations — set up autos on beach ends, prostitution stings, dui roadblocks & checks.
Mr. Kreuzkamp presenting numbers. How are the goals going to be measured? Major
McGee, difficult to place numbers in percentages. Can show actual numbers.
Overall good job.

Mr. Kreuzkamp: 8.7% increase in total costs.
Demonstrated areas where costs went down. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos: work on bringing
majors salary to 50/50
Mike Wimberly of fleet management Gas credit cards provided them with gas cost savings.
Travel & training reallocated to provide one check per year.
Merit increases and holiday pay, one new cops deputy and reclassifying one position, plus
benefits. (anticipating that there may be a recass in administration based on pending
survey)
City Manager, Bennett Boucher last year was 10 %; how can you justify more than the CPI.
Mr. Kreuzkamp: the 10% did not catch them up. Have to fund for maximum expectation
to provide incentive.
Line items that went up more than $1000 Phone going up
Cell phone was included in phone before. Separated for auditing purposes.
because of the new mobile data terminals in cars. There are additional phone costs
continuing to support the terminals in cars.
Capital — 3 new cars rather than 2. Cars to complement the vehicle data units. 11.5k more
to outfit them.
Indirect Costs by Ms. Barker.
$140,361 because this year was 73k; proposing 80,141 according to the formula on
PowerPoint (because we are a good customer) Mr. Kreuzkamp: overhead for the
20/21 deputies who work here. Cost of deputy pay, equip that person, plus
benefits =46k plus a car. They require infrastructure support & is provided at a discount
2.4 is Cape Canaveral's portion of the total sheriffs budget The breakout is good in
that the city was not informed before. Sheriff absorbs major repairs, such as recent
transmission. HR provides extensive services.
Contract is pretty much the same, except for.
Fling County,Washington gave goal setting language to the City Manager & it was passed
on to Major McGee. Then included in the contract. Additionally, for the first time a piece
of the action is given. If an investigator goes out assigned to cape Canaveral officers,
the city would get its fair share back to the city within the fiscal year. Forfeitures used to
come to us if we wanted it Now, the availability is larger. Would benefit the law
enforcement facet of the city, rather than to the city at-large.
Tape 2, 2500
Adjourned at 9:00 pm until Monday at 5:30pm.
