This ordinance placed on the agenda at the request of several Council members. BACKGROUND Staffing needs of the Police Department are such that we need additional Police Patrol Officers. FINANCIAL IMPACT The existing Civil Service list for Police Patrol Officers is nearly exhausted, so a new recruitment will have to be conducted immediately instead of waiting until the end of the year when the current list expires. Given the delay in developing a new hiring list, coupled with the background investigations and other evaluations that comprise the hiring process, the anticipated start date of the training academy is January of 2009. Therefore, there will be no employment cost impact in 2008. The increase in staffing is projected to cost $702,433 in 2009. The cost impact in the following years, based on current salary and benefits, is projected as follows: 2010 $833,835 2011 $875,538 2012 $939,095 2013 $964,255 2018 $1,030,418
