that are not trained, supervised, and acting to enforce the laws.

Consistent with state law, the City established the Advanced Travel Fund in 1990 for the amount of$5 ,000. The purpose
of the fund is to allow advance disbursement and efficient accounting of travel-related expenses when employees and/or
elected officials travel on City business. The amount has not been adjusted to the increase in staffing or the higher
mileage and per diem rates over the past 17 years. As a result, we consistently experience deficiencies in the account.
This requires increased reliance on City credit cards for travel purposes, which has other limitations in addition to credit
limits.
Staff recommends increasing the Advance Travel Fund to $20,000 to better accommodate demand, particularly during
the peak months for conferences and training opportunities.

BACKGROUND:

time the City has applied for this grant. The Court would like to add an x-ray machine to enhance the secwity of
domestic violence victims, the attorneys that work domestic violence cases and general court security. As part of
the application for the federal grant funds, we are required to provide "local government assurances" and the City
Council must authorize the Municipal Court to apply for the grant. The "assurance" for this grant requires the
local government to match the federal grant funds at 30 percent.
