A SPECIAL MEETING of the Board of Public Safety was held in the City Hall Auditorium on Monday,

Those in attendance included Mayor Elinor Carbone, Corporation Counsel Raymond Rigat, and Members of the Board of Public Safety Douglas Benedetto, Darlene Battle, Robert Conforti, Richard Zaharek and Glenn McLeod. Commissioner Angelo LaMonica was absent.
Mayor Carbone called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance.
POLICE BUDGET
Mayor Carbone reported that the Police Department budget was left at $8,388,497.08 and Chief Maniago was asked to bring it down to a 3% increase.
Chief Maniago said he cut $72,189 from regular wages and holiday pay (six-month delay in hiring), capital reserve, electric, education incentive, accident investigation team, and communications. He said the new budget request is $8,316,309, a 3% increase over last year's budget.
Mayor Carbone asked what will not happen as a result of the capital reserve reductions. Chief Maniago said the ballistic armor account will be reduced due to a surplus, and the Pythian Ave. repaving project will be delayed one year.
On a motion by Commissioner Benedetto, seconded by Commissioner Zaharek, the Board voted unanimously to accept the Police Budget of $8,316,309 and forward it to City Council.
