APPROVAL OF ACTION SUMMARY AND MINUTES

If the Finance Committee concurs, the appropriate action would be a MOTION to approve the Action Summary and Meeting Minutes from the last Finance meeting.
1.Approval of the Minutes of the previous Finance Committee Meeting October 23, 2014
2.Report on Revenues for Fiscal Year 2014-15
The Commission on POST is financed through a Special Fund known as the Peace Officer Training Fund. The Commission is provided a monthly update on the revenue collected by the State Controller's Office and distributed by the California Department of Finance. POST depends on this revenue to perform its legal obligations to the State of California.
3.Report on Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2014-15
The Commission on POST receives monthly updates from the State Controller's Office on expenditures and the remaining balances. This report notates expenditures through December 31, 2014.
4.Report on Personnel Expenses for Fiscal Year 2014-15
The Commission on POST has a total of 123 authorized positions, allocated to eight bureaus, who contribute to serving the needs of California law enforcement.
5.Report on Reimbursements for Fiscal Year 2014-15
There has been a 3.5% percent increase in reimbursements for the first six months of FY 2014-15 over the same period for FY 2013-14.
6.Report on Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2015-16
The Governor issued his proposed Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget for the State of California on January 9, 2015.  The Commission's proposed budget totals $55,199,000.  There is a decrease of $5.3 million in the Commission's Administration allocation.  This includes a 30% decrease of authorized positions, from 123 to 86.  The training reimbursements and training contracts allocation increased to $20.5 million and $20.3 million, respectively.

A 30% decrease in POST staffing would cause a significant negative impact to POST programs and services provided to California law enforcement.  This report describes alternative cost savings options for the Commission to consider as staff begins the FY 2015-16 budget process with the Department of Finance and the Legislature.

If the Commission concurs, the appropriate action would be a MOTION to authorize the Executive Director to pursue one of the alternative cost savings options as enumerated in this report  during budget discussions with the Department of Finance and the Legislature for FY 2015-16.
