CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFIN,G SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />O 1 /03/2011 <br />Council Date: <br />Police <br />Chief Hundley <br />10. <br />O 1 /24/2011 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />First reading - not an action item. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Personnel <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Section 26-1 of the Code of Ordinances sets out the composition of the police department. A minor re- <br />organization of the department affects the rank of sergeant. The current ordinance provides for 11 <br />sergeants in the department. Of these 11 positions, only 9 have job responsibilities which require <br />supervision over subordinates. At one time, only sergeants were being placed in the Criminal <br />Investigation Division. Over the years, 6 officers at the police officer rank have been assigned to CID. <br />We now have a situation in which officers at the police officer rank are doing the same job as some <br />sergeants without the same compensation. It is the Chief's plan to reduce the number of sergeants for <br />the department to those who only have supervisory job duties as current sergeants promote, retire, or <br />leave the department. Those positions vacated by sergeants will remain in the department as officer <br />positions. Sgt. Shane Boatwright recently left the department to take the Chiefls position at the Paris <br />Junior College Campus Police Department. Sgt. Haskell Maroney will be retiring January 31St to take <br />the Lamar County Tax Assessor position. This position reallocation will change the ordinance from 11 <br />to 9 Sergeant Positions and from 42 to 44 police officer positions. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Ordinance <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$ <br />❑ Department Report ❑ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$ <br />❑ Presentation Z Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />$ <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
