In creating Fiscal Year 2021Budget, the Mayor and her leadership team have crafted a budget that recognizes the challenges facing Nampa in the near-term and a future where property tax resources required to deliver core city services may not keep pace with the citizen demand for general government services and all facets of public safety including police service, fire prevention and suppression, and code enforcement. Additionally, the Corona Virus is having an immediate impact on the City, Treasure Valley, and State economy both near-term and long-term. The immediate cost increases to city services and retooling offices to conduct business appears to be controllable as the City is receiving assistance from the federal government and from a reimbursement grant (CARES) from the State of Idaho. However, the future costs in term of inflationary pressures, the permanent disappearance of jobs from the area, unemployment, loss of tax base through business closings, fear of traveling, and economic impacts through the country could all conspire to put pressure on Nampa’s resources. This budget makes concrete, responsible investments that will allow Nampa to begin to address those challenges while living within its means. This budget does not raise or create a single tax or fee on Nampa’s businesses, citizens or organizations and it does not depend on the use of General Government’s Fund Balance protecting the remaining balance; however to ensure financial stability beyond the 2021 Fiscal Year the City, in my opinion, must establish a Budget Stabilization Fund (Rainy Day Fund) across all of the City’s major funds.. The state of the City’s economy appears to be strong, but Nampa must be prepared to weather future crises and economic downturns. We all take the City’s responsibility to steward Nampa’s tax dollars seriously and this budget reflects the commitment to responsible city government. This budget begins to rebuild Nampa City government in a way the promotes the optimal uses existing and future resources. We must address challenges and seize the many opportunities for growth. I ask the Mayor and City Council to join to adopt this budget proposal to allow us to deliver the critical services City government provides, protecting our children and families, promoting economic growth, and ensuring our City is the model for the nation for how life should be. CITY OF NAMPA FINANCE DEPARTMENT Douglas Racine - Finance Director (208) 468-5737 6/26/2020 FISCAL 2021 BUDGET SUMMARY During a season of significant financial uncertainty, Nampa developed its Fiscal 2021 (FY21) budget by delivering sustainable cost controls; limiting our uses of revenues; and by focusing on the health & safety needs of employees and residents. As the State Legislature considered property tax mitigation, state sales tax redistribution and the automatic disclaiming of forgone taxes, the COVID 19 virus emerged forcing state & local governments to re-prioritize normal operations in order to meet the economic and health needs of both residents and employees. As a result, the City of Nampa created its Fiscal 2021 budget based on the following priorities: • 0% increase in property tax rates – This amounts to approximately $1.5 million in property taxes increases that will NOT be passed on to residents. • Revenue growth limited to new construction revenues. New construction revenues are not tax increases. Historical levy rates are applied to new commercial and residential real estate. • Implementation of Position Control – A labor focused review process which adds a needed layer of control over labor and benefit cost increases. • Requests for additional budget authority for Fiscal 2021 were generally deferred in order to limit cost increases during in a time of economic uncertainty. • Fleet Services were re-organized as an “Internal Service fund”. This will relieve cost pressure on General Government and allow Fleet Services to operate in a more economical manner. • Planning & Zoning was re-organized as an “Internal Service” fund under Development Services. This will improve operational efficiency and will shift cost accountability away from the General Government fund. Municipal budgets are grouped in Funds types, as described below: • General Government Include (but are not limited to) Police, Fire, Finance, HR, IT, Clerks & Mayor’s Office • Enterprise funds include (but are not limited to) Development Services, Water, Wastewater & Sanitation • Special Revenue funds include (but are not limited to) Streets, Airport, Cemetery, Library, Parks, Rec Center, 911, Golf, Ford Idaho and Civic Center • Internal Service funds include Utility Billing and Fleet Services • Capital Project funds include Impact Fees and budgeted Capital • Debt Service is used to maintain the city’s General Obligation Bond (maturing in 2024) Nampa City Total Budget by Fund: Nampa’s fund based 2021 and comparative 2020 budget totals are reflected in the following and data table and chart: Fiscal 2021 and 2020 Budget Variance FY 2021 FY 2020 Inc/(Dec) Primary Cause of Change General 58,236,504 58,029,298 207,206 New Construction revenues offset by Fleet Re-Org Enterprise 80,692,753 76,841,989 3,850,764 Increase in water capital projects Special Revenue 48,974,496 44,349,182 4,625,314 Increase in Amazon pass through funds Capital Projects 8,410,507 9,532,994 (1,122,487) Decreased impact fee and capital investment Internal Service 3,127,867 1,721,415 1,406,452 Fleet Re-Org from General to Internal Service Debt Service

Although the Supreme Court mandated over thirty years ago that courts determine the constitutionality of allegedly excessive force from the perspective of a rea- sonable officer on the scene, courts have never seemed more confused about how to make that determination. Without any definitive guidance on what evidence to consider in determining how a reasonable officer on the scene of an incident of allegedly excessive force would have behaved, courts are issuing haphazard, inconsistent decisions that are often difficult to reconcile

Introduction The Criminal Justice System is a part of society that is both familiar and hidden. It is familiar in that a large part of daily news and television drama is devoted to it (Carrabine, 2008; Jewkes, 2011). It is hidden in the sense that the majority of the population have little, if any, direct contact with the Criminal Justice System, meaning that the media may be a major force in shaping their views on crime and policing (Carrabine, 2008). As Reiner (2000) notes, the debate about the relationship between the media, policing, and crime has been a key feature of wider societal concerns about crime since the establishment of the modern police force.

  • Paramount Collection
    Paramount Collection Airtight To control the air is to rule the world. Nuclear testing has fractured the Earth's crust, releasing poisonous gases into the atmosphere. Breathable air is now an expensive and rare commodity. A few cities have survived by constructing colossal air stacks which reach through the toxic layer to the remaining pocket of precious air above. The air is pumped into a huge underground labyrinth system, where a series of pipes to the surface feed the neighborhoods of the sealed city. It is the Air Force, known as the "tunnel hunters", that polices the system. Professor Randolph Escher has made a breakthrough in a top-secret project, the extraction of oxygen from salt water in quantity enough to return breathable air to the world. Escher is kidnapped by business tycoon Ed Conrad, who hopes to monopolize the secret process and make a fortune selling the air by subscription to the masses. Because Conrad Industries controls the air stacks, not subscribing to his "air service" would mean certain death. When Air Force Team Leader Flyer Lucci is murdered, his son Rat Lucci soon uncovers Conrad's involvement in his father's death and in Escher's kidnapping. Rat must go after Conrad, not only to avenge his father's murder, but to rescue Escher and his secret process as well. The loyalties of Rat's Air Force colleagues are questionable, but Rat has no choice. Alone, if necessary, he must fight for humanity's right to breathe.

  • Impact of Bearing Vibration on Yarn Quality in Ring Frame
    IOSR Journal of Polymer and Textile Engineering (IOSR-JPTE) e-ISSN: 2348-019X, p-ISSN: 2348-0181, Volume 2, Issue 3 (May - Jun. 2015), PP 50-59 www.iosrjournals.org Impact of Bearing Vibration on yarn quality in Ring Frame S Sundaresan*, Dr.M.Dhinakaran**, Arunraj Arumugam*** *Assistant professor (SRG), **Associate Professor (SRG), *** Assistant professor, Department of Textile Technology, Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore -641049, Tamil Nadu, India. Abstract: This digital generation makes everything vibrates in the world, some vibrations are good and useful and the rest fall under the dangerous category. In spinning industry, the impact of vibration is affecting the quality of yarn. The vibration of the tin roller shaft is measured in ring spinning machine LR G5/1 equipped with 1008 spindles. The vibration of the tin roller shaft is measured in various position of the machine (near gear end, middle portion of the machine and from the off end of the machine). The vibration of the bearing also noted with respect to the cop position ( ¼ stage, ½ stage and ¾ stage). With the help of accelerometer which consists of piezoelectric sensor used to measure the vibration and to measure the acceleration of the frequency spectrum. This sensor is placed on the bearing with the help of magnetic attachment to analyse the vibration by using FFT analyser. [1]. Introduction In modern days the ring spinning operates at the maximum speed up to 25000 rpm. The ring frame also consists of 1008 to 1220 spindles per machine. The effect of tin roller bearing vibration on yarn quality can be studied by measuring the vibration of tin roller shaft bearing at different points during the running condition.

  • Boobs, Boxing, and Bombs: Problematizing the Entertainment of Spike TV
    Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal Volume 2, Number 1, pp. 3-14 Boobs, boxing, and bombs: Problematizing the entertainment of Spike TV G. WALTON, PH.D. L. POTVIN Lakehead University Lakehead University ABSTRACT Spike is the only television network in North America “for men.” Its motto, “Get more action,” is suggestive of pursuits of various forms of violence. We conceptualize Spike not as trivial entertainment, but rather as a form of pop culture that erodes the gains of feminists who have challenged the prevalence of normalized hegemonic masculinity (HM). Our paper highlights themes of Spike content, and connects those themes to the literature on HM. Moreover, we validate the identities and lives of men who cannot or refuse to subscribe to the pressures of hegemonic masculinity. Spike TV is an entertainment brand dedicated to men. It is a destination that inspires men through bold, action-packed original entertainment. - Cabletelevision Advertising Bureau, 2008 Television is one component of a vast and expanding media complex that masquerades as harmless entertainment. Bourdieu (2006) argued that on television, everything becomes very ordinary and that television, “smoothes things over, brings them into line, and depoliticizes them” (328). Though much of television is often characterized as harmless “junk” or pablum (Postman 1985), we, in line with media critics such as Kellner and Share (2007) and Leistyna and Alper (2007), find that such perspectives are naïve and pave the road for corporate influence on society, with little resistance. Dismissing television, particularly its junk, as mere entertainment obscures its power to influence societal norms of ideology and behavior (Steinberg 2007).
