This subsection is included in your selections.

The City shall continue to expend the same percentage of the general fund directed toward police protection services as exists as of the effective date of this section until such time as the City reaches and maintains a ratio of one (1) police officer for each five hundred (500) of population. Upon obtaining that ratio, the City may thereafter direct any general funds (but not the special funds received as tax by this section) not required to maintain that ratio to other City services or functions. For the purposes of this section one (1) police officer means one (1) sworn full time equivalent peace officer or two (2) non-sworn full time equivalent community service officers. Population shall be determined to be the California Department of Finance annual population estimate for the City. (Ord. #56-94, S10)
