This communication proposes the creation of a Community Affairs Office within
J
the Police Department, aimed at improving communications and understanding
between the community and the Police Department. An appropriation of $38,000
is recommended to finance this office's operation for the balance of the
current fiscal year, including the net addition of three positions to the
Community Relations Division, as follows:
One Assistant for Community Affairs
One Community Affairs Specialist II
Two Community Affairs Specialist I
This additional staff will be partially offset by the deletion of an existing
vacant position in the Community Relations staff, an Administrative Assistant
III. The net additional cost for establishment of this program, to include
salaries and other related cost, is estimated to be approximately $38,000
for the balance of the fiscal year. Specific salary ranges for these posi-
tions will be proposed within a short time.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the City Council:
a) Authorize the establishment of the three positions named
above; and
o) Adopt an ordinance amending the appropriations ordinance by
transferring $38,000 from the Contingency Allowance to the
Police Department budget for the operation of the Community
Affairs Office for the balance of the fiscal year.
