(PUBLIC HEARING-a. Report of City Staff: Keith Morris; b. Public Comment;c.Council Action: Close Public Hearing and Approve Amendment
to the Fiscal Year 2023 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing and approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2023 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget to increase
funding in the Recruitment and Training Initiative by$1,565,598.07,to increase recruit pay;and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance amending the City's FY2023 budget to increase estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Crime Control and Prevention District Operating Fund by$1,565,598.07,from available funds,for the purpose of increasing police trainee
pay.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)is to consider an amendment to the Fiscal Year(FY)2023 budget adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District(CCPD)to fund an increase in police trainee(recruit)pay and to revise
the City's budget and appropriations in accordance with those changes.
Recommendation number one relates to formal Council approval of the budget amendment that was considered and adopted by the CCPD Board
at its November 29,2022 meeting. Council action (approval or rejection)is required as the final step for a CCPD budget amendment, per
Chapter 363 of the Local Government Code and the CCPD Board's adopted budget rule. Recommendation number two makes conforming
changes to the City's budget.
The amendment increases funding in the Recruitment and Training Initiative by$1,565,598.07 so that pay for the classification of police trainee
can be increased from the current annualized rate of$40,040.00 to$55,536.00,effective December 31,2022.The change will impact current
recruits in Classes 153 and 154. Class 155,which is scheduled to begin in early 2023,would be the first one subject to the new pay rate for its
entire training period.
NOTE-The effective date of the change coincides with the beginning of a pay period and is one day earlier than the date communicated to the
CCPD board. The Police Department anticipates being able to absorb the cost of the additional day through savings elsewhere in the initiative
and will process a budget adjustment at year end if needed.
The increase is recommended following a market comparison conducted by the Human Resources Department in concert with the Police
Department,which found that the variance between the City's existing police trainee pay and overall market rate was 72%. If approved,this new
rate would increase Fort Worth's recruit pay from the second-lowest of the top 10 large cities in Texas to being at mid range,with four cities paying
more and five cities paying less.
It is standard practice for a market adjustment to target bringing undercompensated employees to the market mid-range. At the CCPD November
meeting,support was expressed for increasing recruit pay further. Staff will be conducting further review on this subject. Setting recruit pay must
be done in a way that takes into consideration the pay rates for officers following graduation. Those rates are set by the terms of the City's Meet
and Confer Agreement,which expires on September 30,2024 and will be up for negotiation soon.
Following approval of this M&C,the projected fund balance would still exceed the reserve requirement dictated by CCPD policy(16.67%)and the
City Manager's goal(18%).
The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 2,
