below the rank of Captain as well as Police Officer rank in the CID Division, and 2) the payment of those hours in excess of 40 days on December 31, 2023. This will allow the Police Department the opportunity to provide minimum coverage while preventing officers from losing vacation leave should they be called upon to help provide this coverage. This request is only for the calendar year 2023. Should our vacancies continue to impact coverage in 2024, we will revisit it later in that year. BUDGET: Based on current accrued levels of vacation leave, we estimate about five (5) police personnel (various ranks) with the potential of exceeding 40 days of leave by the end of 2023, thus subject to hitting the maximum number of vacation days that can be carried forward. Should these five not use any of their vacation leave and all of it be paid out, the maximum expense to the city would be approximately $10,000.00. We do foresee several of these employees using some vacation prior to the end of the year, so this figure should come in less than estimated. OPTIONS 1. Authorize a temporary waiver of City of Paris Personnel Manual Section 14.03 for Police Department Patrol Division personnel below the rank of Captain as well as Police Officer rank in the CID Division to therefore be allowed a pay out of any vacation leave hours accrued beyond the maximum number allowed on December 31, 2023. 2. Request additional information on this matter, a different amount of lave to be paid out, a different manner to address excess vacation leave, and/or reject the request. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a temporary waiver of City of Paris Personnel Manual Section 14.03 for Police Department Patrol Division personnel below the rank of Captain as well as Police Officer rank in the CID Division to therefore be allowed a pay out of any vacation leave hours accrued beyond the maximum number allowed on December 31, 2023.
