motion was made:
WHEREAS, the Police Department' s 1994 Budget included matching
funds of $19,901 to support the City' s application for the
Federal Police Hiring Supplement Program Grant, and

Supplement Program Grant was not . approved in the Federal
Budget for 1994, and

attention, and
WHEREAS, the Police Chief has recommended, with approval from
the Community Police Board, that a portion of the funds
originally budgeted in 1994 for the grant be converted to the
hiring of one full-time Police Officer; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the matching funds budgeted for the Federal

B. Request to Amend 1994 Police Department Personnel Roster
Police Chief McEwen presented a request to amend the 1994
Police Department roster by deleting a full-time parking
meter checker position and adding a Community Service
Officer position.
McEwen explained that he has been reviewing the staffing
situation within the Meter Enforcement section, which was
transferred to the Police Department in January, 1994.
He stated that the Police Department is currently
authorized one Community Service Officer position, which
is assigned to the Traffic Unit. He explained that the
Community Service Officer position was created to allow
two Police Officers assigned to the Traffic Unit to
devote more time to traffic enforcement. McEwen also
explained that the current Meter Enforcement section
employs six part-time meter checkers, many of whom have
been working out-of-title, and full time. He stated that
there is currently one meter checker position, full-time,
that is vacant.
McEwen explained to the Committee that the Civil Service
test results for the Community Service Officer position
are back, and the eligibility list has been approved. He
noted that none of the meter checkers scored high enough
on the exam to be eligible for permanent full-time
appointments.
McEwen made a request to the Committee to delete the
vacant full-time meter position and add a Community
Service Officer position to allow the department to have
two Community Service Officers who then can be cross-
trained to perform both Police Traffic Unit and Meter
Enforcement work.
After a discussion regarding the meter checker positions,
the following motion was made:
RESOLVED, That the Personnel Roster of the Ithaca Police
Department be amended as follows:
Add: One ( 1 ) Community Service Officer

3 . DPW - Fiber Optic Project Report
Superintendent of Public Works Gray reported that the
Fiber Optic Project bids were opened today. Gray stated
that the conduit portion of the project came in at
$130, 000 and the pulling of the fiber optic line will be
bid at a later date. He explained that the current
authorized project is $130, 000, which was to include both
the installation of the conduit and the pulling of the
fiber optic line. He explained that to do the entire
project would cost approximately $172, 000 .
Gray stated that he was analyzing why the previous
estimate of this project budget was so far off the bids
received. He stated that the main cause for the bid
results being over budget is the current premium price
paid for construction work being done in July and August.
Gray explained that the State is well underway with the
Green Street reconstruction project, and the window of
opportunity to do this fiber optic project is small.
The Committee agreed to allow the DPW to look into
• various alternatives with the fiber optic project,
including possibly using in-house work. The possible
authorization to increase the project will be placed on
the COW agenda for action. No formal action was taken.
