school on the design and construction of police facilities. Mr. Gregg was present and made a brief
presentation on the purpose of the program. Mr. Gregg explained that one of the things he learned
was how to negotiate an agreement with an architect. He further commented that the program
emphasized things to consider that are specific to a public safety facility such as security and design of
berms and barriers to help fit in with the neighborhood, and yet still construct a sound, safe facility.

Agenda Item No. 6A. Issuance of Tax Notes, Series 1998, by City Council for Crime Control
and Prevention District land and Item No. 6B. Financial Report.
Finance Director Lou Ann Heath informed the Board that at the September 1, City Council meeting,
the City Council approved on 1st reading the ordinance for the issuance of five-year tax notes
specifically for the purpose of purchasing land for the DPS sites. Ms. Heath commented that the
notes are structured to be paid back within five years with a sales tax dedication from the Crime
Control District. Ms. Heath stated that the interest over the five year period, to pay back the notes,
has not been taken into consideration in the Crime District's five-year plan. Ms. Heath explained that
the Board would need to budget this interest each year of the District's five-year plan. She explained
that staff needs to bring to the Board an update that would show the effect this will have on the
current plan. Ms. Heath stated that initially the District's plan was structured so that we would be
able to fund the land for three sites and fund the beginning of construction for two facilities, however,
now it appears that may be only one facility will be able to be built.
President Wambsganss questioned whether or not staff had received a report on the sales tax from the
Comptroller's office. Ms. Heath commented that she requested two reports one for the City and one
for the Crime Control District, however, the only report she received was for the City. Ms. Heath
commented that she would be following up with the Comptroller's office and provide an update to the
Board when she receives the report.
Agenda Item No. 6. Adjournment.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
