2. Discuss and update Police Department operations status.
Chief Arata reported that Police Department recruiting is going well. Testing has taken place;
there were SO applicants, those were narrowed to 15. Eventually 9 people made it through and
panel testing begins next week. FTO Training has begun and officers will be trained as such.
That begins next week as well.
On Funding side, money was set aside for technology and one of those things is Laserfiche. This
will give us scanning capabilities for documents; we will try to scan as much as possible before
we leave the current building. Volunteers can help us scan the documents in. Livescan is still in
the works; the only holdup is the IT side and getting the remote units ready. Paul Glowacki
noticed the new police vehicle; Chief Arata explained new vehicle is funded through capital
expenses now. The new vehicles cost significantly less than the ones bought in the past.
No action was taken on this item.
3. Discuss and give direction regarding funding for the new police facility.
Attachment A- Funds Allocation Motion
Steven Glickman, Assistant Town Manager/CFO provided updated information on new building.
Sales tax will increase due to new businesses opening up however Board had concerns over
$100,000 that was to be set aside for Police Department and questioned why that had changed.
Mr. Glickman explained that some of the items were set aside as "alternates". Discussion was
had over CCPD money being used for Police Department intentions only and J.J. Isherwood

Attachment A
Whereas on 25 February 2016 the Trophy Club Crime Control and Prevention
District Board (CCPD) voted to allocate additional funds amounting to the sum of
one hundred thousand (100,000) dollars with the clear and expressed intent that
these be used solely for improvements to the police department section of the
new joint town hall and police facility to be built.
AND
Whereas ambiguity was later injected by non -board members as to the proper
allocation of these funds which contravened the board member's collective intent
I therefore move that the previous funds allocation motion for the sum of one
hundred thousand (100,000) dollars be amended to read:
"The CCPD Board allocates one hundred thousand (100,000) dollars in addition
to the previous committal of 2.25 million dollars; this one hundred thousand dollar
(100,000) sum to be used toward solely toward improvements in the new police
department facility and solely toward police department use. These
improvements include fencing around the police department section, camera and
image data device provisions, and retention of the holding areas of the police
station. It also includes other enhancements of the police department that the
chief law enforcement officer of the Town of Trophy Club may see fit consistent
with the Board's intent. The capital improvements made with this funding shall be
made, to the maximum extent possible, at the onset of construction of the new
facility. "
