REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />NOVEMBER 28, 2011 <br />TITLE: <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO <br />CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION <br />PLAN TO ADD A PART-TIME JOB TITLE <br />q6&4??? <br />ITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />? As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 1$' Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Adopt a resolution that amends the City's basic Classification and Compensation Plan <br />(Resolution 82-110) to create a part-time job classification. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Earlier this year, the consulting firm of Management Partners, Inc. was hired to review the City's <br />budget and recommend methods to reduce costs and increase revenues. A Budget Stabilization <br />Plan was developed that included suggestions on restructuring the provision of City services, <br />either through outsourcing or internal reorganizations and job classification changes. One of the <br />recommendations was to civilianize the Training Section in the Police Department by using part- <br />time, retired police officers instead of full-time, active duty police officers to conduct training <br />programs. <br />In response to this recommendation, the Interim City Manager is proposing the creation of a new <br />part-time job classification titled Police Training Facilitator. The classification will be responsible <br />for developing and presenting training programs to sworn and non-sworn employees in the Police <br />Department and assisting full-time employees with classroom set-up, video production and <br />statistical data collection and analysis. If incumbents are properly certified, they will provide <br />instruction in topics including firearms, use of force, pursuit/emergency driving, and first aid/CPR. <br />With the addition of this part-time job classification, the Police Department will have the <br />opportunity to assign duties currently performed by full-time personnel to retired staff working on <br />a part-time, non-benefitted basis, thus resulting in potentially considerable savings to the City. <br />55D-1
