In the aftermath of the ruthless killing of Officer Matthew Pavelka, the Burbank Police Department, with much appreciated assistance from many other agencies, has worked tirelessly to apprehend those responsible for this murder.  On Thursday, November 20, 2003, Chief Hoefel felt that the time was right for a reward to be offered to aid in the capture of David A. Garcia, the suspect in this case.  As a result, City Manager Mary Alvord, after consulting with Mayor Stacey Murphy, authorized the offer of a reward of $50,000 for information leading to his arrest.  Although this amount is within the City Manager�s purchasing authority as authorized by the Council, staff recommends that this action be formally ratified.

Recommendation:

Adoption of proposed resolution entitled:

(4/5 vote required)

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2003-2004 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING A REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE CAPTURE OF THE SUSPECT IN THE POLICE OFFICER SHOOTING.
