Adopt the attached ordinance to revise Civil Service staffing in the Police Department, effective October 1, 2024; and 2. Adopt the attached ordinance prescribing the salaries for all peace officers in the Police Department, effective October 1, 2024. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) and the attached ordinances is to take actions associated with the recently adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Budget for the Police Department. Adoption of the first ordinance will revise Civil Service staffing levels in the Police Department. Approval of this M&C WII add a total of 19 Civil Service positions to the budgeted authorized strength in the Police Department (including seven positions being "converted" from overage status) to reflect the FY2025 adopted budget as follows: 1. Fifteen Officer positions for Patrol, Community Outreach, and the School Resource Office Program (six of which are "converted'); and 2. Four Sergeant positions for additional support to the SWAT, Wellness, Community Outreach, and School Resource Officer programs (one of which is "converted"). In January, 2024, seven "overage" positions (6 Officer, 1 Sergeant) were authorized outside of the budget process in the Community Outreach Unit in connection with the Police Department receiving a Community Oriented Policing (COPS) grant from the United States Department of Justice (M&C 24-0097, Ordinance 26706-01-2024). As part of the grant approval process in FY2024, the Department stated it would request the positions as part of its authorized strength for FY2025. Adoption of this M&C and the first attached ordinance "converts" those overages into regular authorized positions accounted for as part of the FY2025 authorized strength. The staffing ordinance also adds twelve new positions (3 Sergeants, 12 Officers) to reflect the recently adopted budget.
