In FY17, the City sponsored a Compensation & Classification Study in order to establish market rates for positions citywide. This funding will allow the City to adjust rates to be at 100% of the established market rates citywide.
These two additional officers would bring the total patrol staffing up to 101 police officers. The Police Department recommends adding seven patrol officers over the next three fiscal years to bring staffing to an adequate level.
This funding represents a Continuous Onboarding program that begins in the 2nd quarter of FY18 that would bring onboard a total of 9 new firefighters by the end of the Fiscal Year, reducing overtime and preparing for the opening of future Fire Stations.
