Adding 29.634% to reflect variable fiinge benefit costs, which rise with salary the total added
costs for salaries and fringe benefits are $132,429. By comparison, total Section 186 cost for this
group in FY 05-06 were $78,700.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City's FY 2006-2007 approved budget included $1.5 million in General Government for all
Charter 186 anticipated salary increases. This budget estimate was based on FY 2005-2006 total
actual Charter 186 costs of$I,398,000 and the knowledge that the City's Safety PERS rate was
being reduced by 7.74% due to Pension Obligation Bond financing the City did.
In July, $185,000 of the $1.5 million was approved to be used to cover the funding shortfall for
the negotiated Police Safety Unit Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) so the available
balance for Charter 186 costs became $1,315,000. In August, the City settled Charter 186
negotiations with the Police Safety Unit for a total cost of$2,192,300. This cost of the Charter
186 increases for the Police Safety Unit used the remaining balance budgeted for Charter 186
costs plus needed $877,300 additional funds appropriated from the budget reserve. Since there
are no remaining available funds in the FY 2006-2007 budget, the City has appropriated an
additional $613,700 from the budget reserve to cover the Fire Safety Unit Charter 186 costs and
will need an additional amount of $132,429 to cover Police Management Charter 186 costs.
It should be noted that the all Safety Units except Fire Management have now completed the
Charter 186 process. All costs associated with this last group for Charter 186 will also have to
come from the City's budget reserve.
To date the City has used a total of $2, 104,700 from the budget reserve to cover Charter 186
costs. Finance is working to complete the fiscal year end close for FY 2005-2006 and it is hoped
that all or most of these funds that were taken from the budget reserve for Charter 186 costs will
be replenished from additional savings from FY 2005-2006. As soon as Finance has the final
accounting ofFY 2005-2006, a year end report to the Mayor and Council will be done.
Recommendation:
I. That the salaries for Police Department Ranges P-4 (Lieutenant), P-5 (Captain), P-6
(Assistant Police Chief), and P-7 (Police Chief) be established, effective August 1,2006.
2. That the Human Resources Department amend Resolution No. 6429 to reflect the above
action.
3. Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2006-07 Budget by increasing the Police
Department General Fund Budget by $132,429 for Charter 186 costs by appropriating
$132,429 from the General Fund Budget Reserves and make appropriate adjustments to the
various Police Grants.
