Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDMENT 1 TO THE ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009 2010, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION 22530" and; 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate this action. STAFF ANALYSIS: This grant, in the amount of $1,689,840.00 over three (3) years will fund up to 100 percent of the entry-level salaries and most benefits for five (5) newly hired sworn police officer positions. The CHRP funded positions must be added to the department allocated positions over and above the number of budgeted positions that are currently funded in the department operating budget. CHRP grant funds may not be used to replace state or local funding that may be available for hiring in the absence of the federal grant and agencies can not satisfy the retention requirements by using CHRP positions to fill any vacancies as a result of attrition. All newly hired officers or redeployed experienced officers hired a result of funding by CHRP must engage in community policing activities and initiatives that enhance the commitment to the department's community policing mission. ITEM !,N;0. 2 City Council Staff Report October 7, 2009 -- Page 2 2009-2010 Allocated Position and Compensation Plan —Amendment 1 Hiring five additional grant funded entry-level full-time sworn officers will increase the Department's community oriented policing ability to continue our proactive crime- reduction/prevention and community outreach efforts, especially during the current economic circumstances. FISCAL IMPACT: There are no matching fund contributions required but the City of Palm Springs would incur costs for benefits not covered by the grant such as uniform allowances, retiree health coverage allowance, holiday pay and cell phone stipend along with future increases in benefits and COLA's above the 100 percent funding cap for the future budget years. The fourth year salary and benefits would be paid entirely by the City. The estimated cost to the City for all five (5) officers for the first year, including unallowable benefit costs, equates to $16,342, based on the hiring of officers mid -fiscal year. The cost to the City for years two (2) and three (3), including the unallowable benefits is estimated at $71,529. The estimated cost for year four (4) is $633,166 for salary and benefits and would be borne entirely by the City.
