f
As a result of a grievance filed by affected members of the
Police Department,_information was brought to the staff's attention
that two members of the department were not paid the appropriate
salary for the position they held. This occurred for a two year
period. The error was a result of confusion in the administration
of the Burglary Prevention Grant. After investigation, it has been
determined that each officer was underpaid $1,448.00.

SUBJECT: SALARY DIFFERENTIAL FOR BURGLARY PREVENTION OFFICERS
In September, 1973, the City entered into a three year grant
titled, Crime Specific Burglary. The provisions of the
grant were that two officers in the Carlsbad Police Depart-
ment would be designated as Burglary Prevention Officers.
They were to be employed in the detective bureau of the
department to supplement the detectives and the juvenile
diversion officers within that division. During the first
year of the grant these two officers were employed, principally,
in an educational effort. The intent of the grant was for
the officers to provide information to residents and to
merchants as to how burglaries could be prevented.
The second year of the grant program was rewritten based
upon experience gained during the first year, wherein the
burglary prevention officers would spend the majority of
their efforts toward investigating burglaries. Their titles
and salary ranges remained the same during this period. Con-
sequently, from September, 1974 until the end of September, 1976,
Police Officers William Huntington and Robin Hargett were
employed as burglary prevention officers involved in the
investigation of burglaries. They still remained under the
direction of the detective division of the Carlsbad Police
Department.
The error occurred due to a lack of understanding concerning
the administration of the federal grant and its relationship
to City personnel requirements. Discovery of the problem and
its investigation was brought to the City's attention through
a grievance filed by the affected employees.
After detailed investigation, it is recommended that Officers
Huntington and Hargett be paid a retroactive 5% salary
differential for the last two years of the Burglary Prevention
Grant. This will amount to approximately $1,448.00 for each
officer.
