Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 21, 2008 Page 9 officers on shift or duty at any given time; and further noted that Investigative and Management staff would also be available in uniform and have a street presence during this time. St. Paul Assistant Chief Matt Bostrum advised that the second document refer- enced by Councilmember Ihlan had been included in the draft JPA; however, the City of St. Paul's Finance Department had removed it to make a minor correction, but that it would be included prior to finalization of the JPA on ~ ~^~oAB July 30, 2008; and would incorporate the not-to-exceed amount referenced in Section 5.1; and once the Roseville Police Department determined which officers would serve. on which shifts, allowing the City of St. Paul to structure their budget ac- cordingly, and identify the aggregate number of officers available. Councilmember Pust sought clarification on the reimbursement to the City of Roseville. Captain Mathwig clarified that the City of Roseville would submit billings for of- ficers and equipment to the City of St. Paul's Finance Department by November 15, 2008, who would in turn reimburse the City of Roseville's General Fund. Captain Mathwig advised that the City of Roseville's officers would be paid from the City's payroll as normal, based on the number of hours worked within that particular pay period. Captain Mathwig confirmed, at the request of Councilmember Willmus, that the Police Department, in their 2008 Budget requests, had anticipated additional over- time requirements during the RNC due to the City's proximity to both St. Paul and Minneapolis; and that those funds had been approved by the City Council upon approval of the 2008 budget. Mayor Klausing acknowledged that additional staffing requirements had been ap- proved in December of 2007 as part of the 2008 budget approval; and was a sepa- rate issue from the request currently under consideration for participation in the JPA. Councilmember Ihlan opined that participation in the JPA would cause financial impact to the City's taxpayers and may not be reimbursed, based on Section 3.2 of the agreement (page 5), should there be insufficient funds available in the allotted security subsidy. Councilmember Roe opined that, if the City didn't participate in the JPA, any calls for mutual aid by the City of Roseville would be solely the expense of the City, not reimbursable from RNC funds. Councilmember Roe further opined that the Police Department had anticipated costs for the RNC in their 2008 budget, and that those overtime costs had been approved by the City Council previously.
