Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 09/28/21 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 21-0730
LOG NAME: 03POLICE FY2022 STAFFING ORDINANCE
SUBJECT
(ALL)Adopt Ordinance Adjusting Police Department Staffing Effective October 1,2021,to Increase the Number of Authorized Civil Service
Positions in the Classification of Corporal/Detective by Four to Reflect Changes Included in the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget and Adopt Attached
Ordinance Prescribing Salaries for the Police Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance revising Police Department civil service staffing effective October 1,2021 to increase the number of
authorized positions in the classification of Corporal/Detective by four and reflect staffing changes included in the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget;
and
2. Adopt the attached ordinance prescribing the salaries for all peace officers in the Police Department effective October 1,2021,
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)and the attached ordinances is to take actions to effect the recently adopted Fiscal
Year 2022 Budget for the Police Department.
Adoption of the first ordinance will revise Civil Service Staffing in the Police Department to reflect Civil Service Staffing included in the City's
adopted Fiscal Year 2022 Budget. Approval of this M&C will add a total of four Civil Service positions in the Police Department,with the costs
funded by the Crime Control and Prevention District(CCPD)Fund. Specifically,four Corporal positions(Police Detectives)are being added to
address homicide and sexual assault cases. These positions are in addition to the ten Sergeant positions added to the department's authorized
strength in March of 2021 (M&C 21-0194;Ordinance 24751-03-2021).
The chart below reflects authorized strength levels from the adoption of the FY21 staffing ordinance(Ordinance 24421-09-2020)through the
changes included in today's action.

Adoption of the second ordinance would prescribe the salaries for each classification of peace officer in the Police Department for FY2022 in
accordance with state law and the adopted labor agreement.
When the terms of the Meet and Confer Labor Agreement(MCA)were agreed to and approved in June of 2020(M&C 20-0356;CFW Contract
Number 54366),the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of the Crime Control and Prevention District(CCPD)sales
tax was unknown.
The parties agreed to tie the structure of salary schedules for the tested ranks(Police Officer through Captain)to the performance of that revenue
source with three alternative schedules possible(A,B,and C). CCPD sales tax revenues were compared for the fourth quarter(July through
September)of 2020 versus 2019.Per this comparison,the CCPD sales tax revenues had a reduction of 1.29%year over year. Because the
reduction in sales tax revenue was between 0%and 5%,salary Schedule A is the one that applies throughout the term of the current MCA. That
schedule is the one included in the attached salary ordinance.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2022 Crime Control
&Prev Dist Fund,as appropriated. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Police Department has the responsibility to validate the availability
of funds.
