Deletes one Sergeant's position from the Training Division°Weapons Range in the Police Department, Fund GG01, Center No. 0353201; 2. Adds one Corporal/Detective position in the Training Division-Weapons Range in the Police Department, Fund GG01, Center No. 0353201; and 3. Authorizes one temporary overage Corporal/Detective position for the department to be deleted as soon as the next vacant Corporal/Detective position occurs. DISCUSSION: In M&C G-8244 dated September 26, 1989, the City Council approved the addition of a Sergeant's position in the Training Division-Weapons Range to better align the functions of that section. This realignment was necessary when the previous Rangemaster was promoted to Sergeant and no Sergeant position existed at that time in the Training Division-Weapons Range account. The department felt that a greater need existed for the Rangemaster to continue his duties at the Weapons Range rather than transferring him to another duty assignment. Since that time the Sergeant has resigned his position with the Police Department and another Rangemaster has been selected who holds the rank of Corporal/Detective. Therefore the Corporal/Detective position is carried as an overage in the Training Division-Weapons Range. Approval of this change will appropriately reflect current staffing. During fiscal year 1989-9•U, the department was authorized 171 Corporal/Detective positions and at the end of the fiscal year the department had 171 actual Corporal/Detectives. With the adoption of the 1990-91 budget the number of authorized Corporal/Detective positions was reduced to 168. Through one demotion and the reclassification described above, the department will have an authorized strength of 169 with 170 actual Corporal/Detectives. The creation of one temporary overage Corporal/Detective position is, therefore, necessary at this time. The temporary position will be deleted at the first o,ppo.rtunity when a vacant Corporal/Detective position occurs througti`attri`tion or promotional opportunities. ;, Deputy Chief Captain Lieutenant Sergeant Corporal/Detective Police Officer Total r Current Authorized Proposed .~ 5 5 12 12 42 42 106 105 168 170 647 47 ~~~~~~~C~ ~ ~~~~~~ ~~~M1~o 0.
