DEPARTMENT REPORTS:
2. Financial Report Chief Brinton presents the financial report for the first quarter. A question was asked about the Administration account being at 38%, rather than the 25% that would be expected for this time of year.

Chief Brinton confirmed that there will be significant expenses incurred for travel expenses of all police witnesses. He has met with the District’s finance department to discuss these costs which can be absorbed by the operational budget for which there was a surplus last year.

Question from the Board as to metrics to measure success of the initiatives. DC Bernoties advises that there have been targets set in the initial plan which he will bring to the next meeting for information to the Board. A request for clarification came from the Board in relation to the Restorative Justice initiative.

Dear Mr. Nils Jensen,
RE: Support for the 30th Annual Conference of the Canadian Association of Police Governance
On behalf of the CAPG Board of Directors, I am writing to request your support for the 30th Annual Conference of the Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG). The conference, hosted by the Calgary Police Commission (CPC), will take place in Calgary, Alberta, on August 8 – 11, 2019.
The theme for this year’s conference is "Community Safety, Community Service, and Community Strength". Our theme deals with the responsibility of representation on our boards and commissions. Meaning, how do our members, collectively and as individuals, effectively represent the diverse community members and provide the oversight they have been tasked with? Our priority this year is to strategically target ways we can engage with our membership and use their input to help shape policies and plans for the police service.
The planning committee is asking for your support to help us offset the cost of putting on this first-rate conference. Our members have shown their generosity and commitment by sponsoring coffee breaks, hospitality suites, lunches or simply contributing whatever their budget can manage. There are a variety of exceptional sponsorship opportunities available that can be tailored to give a high level of recognition and visibility for your organization.
We are sincerely grateful for any contributions you are able to make, whether monetary or with promotional products that could be included in the delegate welcome bags. We commit to making the conference experience unique and rewarding for everyone who attends.
On behalf of the CAPG planning committee, I look forward to your positive reply.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Malloy CAPG Executive Director 78 George Street, Suite 204 Ottawa, ON K1N 5W1 Phone: 613-344-2384 | Fax: 613-344-2385

We already have very low crime so this won’t be easy, but we’re excited about making Oak Bay even safer than it already Theft of bicycles We’ll measure this by pulling data from our PRIME databank. Our baseline for 2016, is as follows: (2016/12/01—2017/11/30)
Theft from Autos— 105
