This third year <br />funding provides for the assignment of an additional domestic violence <br />investigator and a full-time victim advocate to handle cases of domestic <br />violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The Police Department works in a <br />collaborative effort with Community Services Program, Inc. (CSP) to provide <br />additional personnel to work with victims of domestic violence and violence <br />against women in general. <br />Due to unanticipated benefit costs for the full-time victim advocate <br />provided by CSP, an additional $14,815 is required to continue their <br />services. Staff requests approval to increase the aggregate limit for CSP. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the FY 2006 SAFE-Team Grant, Other Contractual <br />Services account (account no. 155-357-6291). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />( ^~ ~ r~ <br />\._ ~~V <br />Paul M.
