ITEM EXPLANATION:
At the request of the Police and Fire Departments, a new classification combining two
functions has been created to address the Emergency Preparedness coordination and the
Police Training coordination needs. Human Resources has developed the attached
classification description (Attachment A) and submits it for Council’s consideration for
approval to add to the Management Salary Structure.
Currently, the Police Department has a vacant full-time (1 .O FTE) Police Training
Coordinator position allocated in the budget. The Fire Department has a part-time (.5
FTE) allocation and budget for an Emergency Preparedness Coordinator position and
program. Both departments have agreed to consolidate staffing resources to meet their
needs and to combine these functions within the Police Department budget. The proposal
is to fill the vacant position in the Police Department with the new management
classification of Emergency Preparedness Coordinator & Training Officer and use the
remaining .5 FTE in part-time hourly staff to supplement the additional training duties.
Based on this proposal, there will be no additional staffing allocation or budget increase.
Based on a salary survey and comparison of duties to comparable classifications in the
City, staffs recommendation is to place the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator &
Training Officer in the Management Salary Structure at Grade 3, $53,700-$73,700,
Attachment B. This position will be a member of the Police Department management
team and designated as a non-sworn “at will” position. It is also recommended that the
Conflict of Interest Code be amended to add the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator &
Training Officer to disclosure categories 2 and 3.
FISCAL IMPACT:
rhis position will be funded by the current vacant Police Training Coordinator position
md part-time Disaster Preparedness position and has no additional fiscal impact. The
2stimated annual salary and benefits is $82,000.
