The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item No: 5.G. <br />Meeting Date: June 8, 2026 <br />Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />Administrator review: _______ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resource Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10262 Authorizing a Police Community Service Officer (CSO) <br />Recruitment Process <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />Staff began a successful Community Service Officer (CSO) program in June 2024 with two CSOs. One <br />CSO terminated in May 2026. The second has successfully interviewed for a Police Officer position with <br />the City and will soon be advancing to a Police Officer position, leaving the City with no CSOs. The <br />department continues to find CSOs to be a valuable resource and would like to fill the soon to be vacated <br />spot. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />The CSO position allows the Police Department Staff an opportunity to view potential candidates for future <br />Police Officer openings, while providing non-licensed police support to the department. The CSO position <br />creates an opportunity for the candidate to acquire on the job training, learn the City’s geography, and <br />discover the meaning behind the Mounds View Police Departments core values: Integrity; Service; <br />Commitment. <br /> <br />The HR Committee supports staffs request to recruit for the Police CSO position. <br /> <br />The CSO position will work 20 – 29 hours per week, and will accrue vacation, sick leave, and holiday pay. <br />Only Minnesota Paid Leave (MNPL) as insurance benefits are available for this position: <br /> <br />2026 - Grade 4 <br /> 4% 3.75% 3.75% 3.75% 3.5% 3.25% 3% 2.75% <br />Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 <br />$27.77 $28.88 $29.96 $31.08 $32.25 $33.38 $34.46 $35.50 $36.47 <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Create a culture where employees desire to work. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />None, currently there is funding available as the Police Department is low on Police Officer staff. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 10262, Authorizing a Police Community Service Officer (CSO) <br />Recruitment Process. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> _______________________ <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resource Director <br /> <br />Attachment: Res.
