HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - January 21, 1981 (52)POLICE DEPARTMENT Agenda item "o" - "Police Department Reorganization"
REORGANIZATION was introduced by Mayor Katnich who gave a brief
history on the current organizational structure of
the Police Department.
Councilman Murphy proposed that the position of
Service Division Commander be filled by an officer
of rank lower than that of captain and that the
dollar savings of this action could then be spent
in putting additional officers on the street.
Chief Yates was in the audience and responded to
questions regarding the department as were posed
by the Council. Chief Yates gave a history of the
department staffing as it existed previous to 1975,
discussed the POST survey that was conducted and
the subsequent reorganization which was approved
by the Council in 1975. Information concerning
the responsibilities of each division was provided
by 'he Chief of Police.
Councilman Hughes indicated he was opposed to
Council discussing any type of reorganization of
the Police Department as he f-lt the Council does
not have expertise in this area. Councilman Hughes
called for a recommendation from Chief Yates.
The adequacy of the class specifications for the
Police Department were discussed.
A very lengthy discussion regarding the Department
followed with questions being directed to the Chief
of Police and the City Menager.
Mayor Pro Tempore McCarty then moved that for a
one year trial period, a sergeant be -appointed to
supervise the Services Division and that the
mid -management level be held at 4 lieutenants and
6 sergeants.
The motion died for lack of a second.
eminate f roin the+ Police Department to the City
Mana(jer to the City Council.
The disc.:ssion concluded with no formal action being
taken by the Council on the matter.

100 Series - Personal Services
The 100 Series covers the expenditures for employee salaries and
other personal services such as consultant fees. The total increase of
$616,770 is due to a number of factors. Salary increases granted last
year, salary increases granted for next year, step increases earned this
year and new positions added this year. Also included in this series are
funds for hiring a labor negotiator for next year. It should be pointed out
that if a comprehensive employer-employee relations bill is passed by either
the State or the Federal Government which requires determining new bargain-
ing units, rewriting contracts, holding. elections for representation and
the like, it will be necessary to spend additional funds for an attorney that
specializes in this activity.
This year, it is necessary to add two positions to the budget. The
requirements for testing of affluent at the sewage plant has increased to the
point that there is approximately 160 manhours of tests required per week.
M- 10
CITY OF Loot
Many of these tests are performed by operators but the workload is such
that a second Laboratory Technician is required. We have further been
told by our Consultant who is working on the waste water plant that they
will recommend that we have 2- 1 /2 Laboratory Technicians when the plant
is completed. It is in the City's best interest that we add this position to
the budget this year.
Included in this budget is also funding for a position of Data Services
Supervisor in the Finan- P' )artment. This person will provide the
technical expertise for the operation and program development for a
computer.
We are recommending a reorganization of the middle management
of the Police Department. As the size of the Department has grown and
laws and procedures become more complex, the need for providing more
appropriate first line supervision in the field has become necessary. This
reorganization will require no additional personnel, but rather the upgrading
of middle management positions. The reorganization will involve the
following changes:
Present Proposed
2 Lieutenants 6 Lieutenants
5 Sergeants 4 Sergeants
34 Patrolmen 31 Patrolmen
We have also included in the budget a salary of $250 per month for the
