STAFF REPORT - CITY COUNCIL/SUCCESSOR AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCE AUTHORITY

Subject:Authorize 2 Non-Paid Reserve Police Officer Positions
Meeting Date:Thursday, April 15, 2021
From:Marissa Trejo, City Manager
Prepared by:Sean Young, Police Commander


I.    RECOMMENDATION:

The Police Chief is requesting approval to add two non-paid Reserve Police Officer Positions.

II.    BACKGROUND:

In the past, the Police Department has used Reserve Officers to help supplement patrol.  With budgetary issues over the years, the Police Department has given up those positions, both paid and non-paid, to help pay for full time officer positions.

III.   DISCUSSION:

The Police Department would like to add two non-paid Reserve Officer positions to help supplement patrol needs without using overtime with regular officers.  This is a minimal cost position and would help increase the number of officers working without putting a strain on the budget.

IV.   ALTERNATIVES:

None.

V.    FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $1,600 per fiscal year per officer for equipment and worker's compensation coverage for a total of $3,200 in actual costs unbudgeted from the General Fund.
