CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO. 18
Series of 2022
TITLE: A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022
GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO REFLECT THE APPROVAL OF A
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT
OF $100,000 FOR THE ADDITION OF TWO FULL-TIME
EMPLOYEES FOR POLICE TELE-SERVE POSITIONS
WHEREAS, the addition of the two full-time employees will support police officers in
responding to calls for service and reduce wait times for residents of Wheat Ridge needing
to file a police report. The use of tele-serve allows officers to devote more time to proactive
police patrols, provides greater availability for higher priority calls, and allows officers to
engage in Relationship-Based Policing strategies more actively; and
WHEREAS, the tele-serve reporting process will enable victims of crimes to report
cases where suspects are absent, like shoplifting, thefts from an open vehicle, and criminal
mischief where a reporting party may only need a report for an insurance claim; and
WHEREAS, insufficient appropriations in the 2022 Budget exist to cover these
expenditures; and
WHEREAS, the Wheat Ridge Charter requires that amendments to the budget be
affected by the City Council adopting a resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Wheat Ridge City Council that:
Section 1. A transfer of $83,100 is approved from the General Fund
undesignated reserves to account 01-211-600-602
A transfer of $8,900 is approved from the General Fund undesignated
reserves to account 01-610-600-626
A transfer of $8,000 is approved from the General Fund undesignated
reserves to account 01-117-800-809
Section 2. An increase of 2.0 FTEs is approved to accommodate the staffing of
tele-serve positions.
DONE AND RESOLVED this 11th day of April 2022.
Bud Starker, Mayor
