U <br /> • <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: November 7, 1994 <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager <br /> ITEM: POLICE SUPERVISORY POSITIONS <br /> As you know, the Council has been considering the creation of three <br /> supervisory positions within the police department over the past year. With the <br /> addition of providing police services to 3 cities starting in 1995, the City will <br /> have 16 sworn officers, 1 Captain and 1 Chief. With 3 cities to cover and more <br /> • officers on staff, there is a need for supervisory coverage on all shifts. <br /> Supervisory coverage is needed even without the contract from Lauderdale and <br /> Falcon Heights. The primary benefit of supervisory positions is to reduce <br /> potential liability for the City. <br /> The estimated cost for the 3 supervisory positions is $13,000; $5,100 of this is <br /> programmed in the 1995 budget. It is recommended to take the remaining <br /> $7,900 out of the Falcon Heights and Lauderdale contracts on a split basis. <br /> There is enough funds in both those contracts to split the $7,900. When we <br /> negotiate new contracts with those cities for 1997, we will calculate those costs <br /> in the contract proposal. <br /> If the Council approves the budget transfer, Officers Ohl, Scholl, and Cotroneo <br /> will be promoted to the supervisory positions. They will also become non- <br /> union employees and will receive the same benefits that other non-union <br /> employees receive. <br /> • <br />
