If this program were eliminated local theatre and opera performances
would be reduced.
Year round series of music concerts at the Art Center and at other
locations for children and adults in a variety of musical styles ..
Elimination of staff support would result in an inability to effectively
manage budget, contracts, division personnel and general administration
of the division which includes both Human Services and CUbberley.
Rental and Leases of theatre, gyms and rooms generated $2 million for
03/04. Reductions in staffing will result in a lower standard of building
maintenance that will impact health & safety and negatively impact
revenues. Maintenance costs are recovered by the revenue generated in
the rental imd leasing function.

Service Impact
The care of sick and injured wildlife is not mandated by any state or local
laws. The City has offered financial support to Wildlife Rescue Inc. for
over a decade. Citizens of Palo Alto can deliver animals to Wildlife
Rescue and they care for them until they can be released back to the wild.
Animal Control Officers also transport wildlife to Wildlife Rescue. If we
were to eliminate or reduce the financial support given by the City, it may
hinder the officers option to take animals to Wildlife Rescue.
The administrative staff in Animals Services provides direction and
administrative support to the entire P AAS. The staff also manages the
contracts with regional cities.
The elimination of the SWATIHNT teams would require the department
to rely on the Sheriffs Department or contract with another city to
respond into Palo Alto to deal with major tactical situations. We would
lose the ability to control how such incidents would be handled and
increase the response time to these incidents.
The primary function ofthe Patrol Division is to provide the public with
initial police response to emergency and non-emergency requests for
service in a coordinated and timely manner. Any reduction in the size of
the Patrol Division would greatly impact the level of service to the
community. Response times to calls for service would greatly increase.
Depending on the level of calls for service, the Patrol Division may only
be able to respond to major crimes and eliminate the response to non-
emergency calls such as noise violations, minor crimes without suspects
and proactive traffic enforcement. Any further reduction in the staffing
levels in the Patrol Division would also greatly increase overtime costs
due to current contractually mandated minimum staffing requirements.
Approximately $1 OOk/yr in revenue is associated with this program.
Major crime scenes such as rape, robbery and murder scenes would not be
properly processed resulting in fewer cases being solved and a lack of
prosecution.

Oversight for taxi operation, massage applications, door-to-door solicitors
and other Municipal Code requirements could be done with a halftime
FTE. Would require 5 working days notice for noise exemption permits
and up to 10 days delay in in processing and issuance of applicants
associated with taxis, pushcart vendors, and door-to-door solicitation.
$25,OOO/yr in permit revenue is associated with this program.
Disbanding the Patrol CSO program would eliminate the primary
responders for minor violations such as lost/found property, parking
complaints, noise complaints, leaf blower permitting and other Municipal
Code violations as well as response to more serious crimes such burglary
reports, grand theft reports and identity theft cases where there' are no
known suspects. These cases may be assigned to regular Patrol officers;
however, due to calls for service the response times may be extended. If
patrol officers are not available, victims of these crimes may be directed to
the Police Departments on-line reporting process.
Reduction in outreach/education efforts to the community. Currently we
conduct two citizen academies per year, allowing for up to sixty citizens
per year. Due to current demand, plans are to add a third Citizens
Academy.
The following programs would be eliminated; Neighborhood Watch,
Community Newsletter (4 per year), Community Events and Fairs (10 per
year), Community Education Programs, Coordination of the Officer
Request for Services Program (150 per year)
The use of volunteers in law enforcement benefits the agency, the
volunteer and the community. Police and Animal Services maintain a
very active volunteer program with over 5,600 hours donated by citizens
each year. Volunteers enhance the quality and range of services the Police
Department provides to the community while enhancing police-
community relations. Approximately 60 active volunteers support the
animal program by walking dogs, socializing cats and assisting in making
spay and neuter appointments.

Service Impact
Eliminate our ability to produce new recruiting material and attend
recruiting events.
No timed parking limits would be enforced anywhere in the City. This
program generates approx $1.5 million in revenue each year.
The goal of the Traffic Division is to minimize injury and property
damage by promoting a safe and orderly flow of pedestrian, bicycle and
vehicular traffic. They provide traffic enforcement and education to
pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. They work cooperatively with the
Transportation Department to provide engineering improvements to city
streets for a safe and orderly flow of traffic throughout Palo Alto. Any
reduction in the Traffic Division would greatly impact the amount of
proactive traffic enforcement throughout the City including school zones.
Traffic complaints from residence would not be responded to in a timely
manner if at all and the number of accident and DUI related problems
would most likely increase due to the lack of enforcement. $450,000/yr
in revenue is associated with providing traffic enforcement.
The nearly 1,000 Vehicles that are reported as abandoned each year would
be processed by police officers, resulting in delays to these calls
depending on priority and workload. This program generates over
$50,000/yr in revenue through the County managed A VASA program.
Proactive attempts to locate and tow vehicles that have outstanding
parking citations would be limited to Parking Enforcement Officers
adding this responsibly to their daily parking enforcement duties. This
could result in a loss of parking fines collected. This program generates
approx $25,000 in revenue.
Traffic officers would no longer enforce traffic violations on motorcycles.
This would greatly reduce the effectiveness of traffic enforcement in the
City and a reduction in traffic citation revenue. Motor Officers are
responsible for the majority of the $450k/yr in revenue received for traffic
enforcement. .

Work associated with this program would be distributed to existing staff.
Clearance rates will go down as the information that is gathered by this
position directly impacts case follow-up for the department and other
departments in the region.
·Potential dramatic increase in alarm calls for service by patrol as business
and residents returned to the former process of not concerning themselves
with false alarm responses. In addition, officers would need to remain on
alarm calls longer as the mechanism for tracking Responsible Parties
would be eliminated and we'd have to return to the previous method of
trying to locate a person in cross directories, telephone books or other
·methods. Program generates up to $200k yr in revenue from alarm
permits and false alarm fees.
