Resources: Review the City of Kelsey under the Government tab of the
Virtual Organization site. Access the public records of Kelsey under the
City Government to familiarize yourself with the city’s budget and
financial report. Review the following scenario: You work as a budget
director for the mayor of Kelsey and recently you have been getting
numerous complaints from citizens about the increase in crime in the
City of Kelsey and public demands for more police officers. The
population of Kelsey has grown, creating increases in crime. The mayor
has communicated to you as the budget director that this past year is the
highest increase in crime in the city’s history. The federal government
has reduced the federal pass-through money for the state, and the
budgeting group needs to revamp the budget for the coming year. In
addition to the limited budget, there has been a recent budgetary reform
at the federal level, which has put additional pressure on local police
agencies to use the federal money before it expires. The state Chief’s of
Police Association is lobbying the state for a 15% public safety tax for a
temporary 3-year period in order to make up the deficit. The state
legislature and local governments are wary of adding any additional new
taxes on citizens. In addition, the state’s Sierra Club organization is
putting pressure on state and local government to hire less police
officers, build more prisons, and develop the state’s infrastructure. The
mayor has pointed out that the likelihood of getting any increase in tax
money from the state is slim. The mayor has called a meeting with your

2. budget staff, the Chief of Police and staff to address the following issues
and come up with a solution that is politically feasible. In the meeting,
the mayor reminds them that if he or she is not re-elected the new
incumbent will replace their jobs.
Create a 1,400-1,750-word report in which you, as the budget officer,
which details the following:

• Your budgeting approach based on the changes and the reasons.
• Differences of the chosen budgeting approach from those not used.
• A plan to address the crime issue.
• Summary of the cost-benefit analysis of your plan. Format your paper
according to APA standards.
