Analysis of Issues
What other economic issues are included in the new contract?
We adjusted seperated the Field Training Officer (FTO) and Officer in Charge (OIC)
wage rates to better evaluate the market on the duties seperately. OIC wage rates will
remain tied to the probationary sergeant wage. The FTO wage rate will be adjusted to
$3.00 per hour above the officers regular base pay while actively training.
How does this agreement fit with the 2017 Budget?
The cost of the contract is within the 2017 budget, the FTO wage rate can be fit into the
current budget.
Alternatives
1. Approve the contract.
2. Do not approve the contract. Staff would have to renegotiate the contract.
Staff recommends Alternative #1.
