Item No. 16 <br />memorandum <br />TO: City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Bob Hundley, Chief of Police <br />SUBJECT: CITY ORDINANCE SECTION 26 -1 COMPOSITION OF DEPARTMENT <br />DATE: September 15, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: City Ordinance 26 -1 sets the composition of the department as to number of <br />officers in each classification of Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Assistant Chief and <br />Chief. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Part of the strategic plan of the department includes a reduction of the <br />total number of supervisors and their assignments. With the retirement of our Uniform Patrol <br />Captain June 1 st, Lt. Joseph Nelms has been recently promoted to Captain. This leaves a <br />Lieutenant position open that is no longer needed. I request that the number of Lieutenants in <br />Section 26 -1 be reduced from 9 to 8 and the number of officers be increased from 42 to 43. <br />There is no change to the total number of officer positions. <br />BUDGET: There is a minimum savings of $6,883.00 in the department's payroll line item. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the amending of the ordinance to reflect these changes. <br />
