HomeMy WebLinkAbout12/15/1999 - STAFF REPORTS (28) I- 3 DATE: December 15, 1999 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Aviation PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES-BUDGET AMENDMENT RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a Budget Amendment for airport law enforcement services rendered at the Palm Springs International Airport for fiscal year 1998/99 in the amount of $167,435.68 . BACKGROUND: During fiscal year 1998/99, Palm Springs International Airport law enforcement services were out-sourced with the primary objective of increasing efficiency and overall effectiveness. In January of 1999, the City of Palm Springs Police Department (PSPD) began providing airport law enforcement services previously provided by the City's Department of Transportation-Aviation,Airport Law Enforcement Division. The process of transitioning said services took several months due to the complex coordination requirements,which included,but were not limited to, acquiring appropriate FAA approvals, providing the FAA mandated training, and entering meet & confer discussions with the various City labor units. The transition had an effect upon several employees that were impacted by a change of assignment,change of departments,divisions or otherwise. During this changeoverphase there were no actual monetary personnel action changes. In other words, all affected personnel from both the Airport and PSPD were left in their same departments,divisions and activity centers until the fiscal year-end when the monetary considerations for actual services rendered could be reconciled. The Budget Amendment proposed for Council's consideration, in the amount of $167,435.68,covers the period of January 1999 through June 1999 for police services. The dollars were computed by the City's Finance Department and reflect the actual personnel costs for PSPD officers assigned to the Airport starting with the pay period beginning 12/27/98 and ends with the pay period ended 6/26/99. The fiords forthe Amendmentwill come from the Airport Fund. When the law enforcement function transitioned from the Airport to PSPD,there were savings in salary accounts that resulted from the elimination of the Airport Law Enforcement Division. Consequently,the salary savings accrued in the Airport's Retained Earnings at the end of the 1998/99 fiscal year. This action will transfer fiords from the Airport to the General Fund-PSPD for actual law enforcement services rendered. A resolution is attached for Council consideration.
