This proposal was designed to result in a cost savings in excess of $10,000 for the 2008 adopted Police department budget. The attached job description has been updated and the pay range has been established to reflect the value of this position to the police department and the community we serve. Based on the education, knowledge, skills and abilities of the coordinator the recommended starting wage is 53,913. The proposed salary is 75% of Step 5 which reflects the estimated starting salary of $72,000 used in the presentation at the February 4, 2008 council work session. The Community Service Officer Job Description and salary have been previously established end therefore no action is needed on these items. The Lead Records Technician position will be governed by the AFSCME bargaining unit, and the salary will not exceed the proposed amount.
