CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect:
Addition of two (2) Full-time Parking Enforcement Officers in the Facilities Management
Department.
Backl!round:
At the Council Meeting on October 2, 2006 the Mayor and Common Council referred this item
to the Personnel Committee. On October 31, 2006 the Personnel Committee recommended that
this item be referred back to Mayor and Common Council for approval. During Personnel
Committee a request was made for additional information regarding division of responsibilities
regarding parking violations. Staff will be preparing this information for Mayor and Common
Council on a later date.
The Facilities Management Department is responsible for the Parking Enforcement Program for
the City of San Bernardino. The Parking Enforcement Division processes. over 20,000 citations
annually and brings in one million dollars in revenue to the City.
The division currently has three full-time Parking Enforcement Officers and utilizes three part-
time Officers in the enforcement of parking regulations in the 56 square mile city. In 2000, the
division lost two full-time officers and only replaced one. The budget dollars for the other full-
time position was converted to part-time salary and the division created three part-time positions.
The part-time positions gave the division more flexibility in scheduling officers on evening and
weekends. This change led to an increase in revenue.
One of the disadvantages of the part-time officers has been the high turnover rate. So far this
year, the department has trained and then lost six part-time officers to other agencies who offered
full-time positions. The result has been an increase in mandatory overtime and parking
enforcement operations not available for many areas throughout the City.
Staff proposes that the number of full-time parking enforcement officers be increased from three
to five positions. Five officers will give us the ability to fill all five beats daily and still be able to
do enforcement as needed in problem areas. This change will give the division more career-
minded staff who will stay in the position, and also give the division flexibility for evening and
weekend enforcement. Staff would like to continue to use part-time employees for additional
enforcement.
Financial Impact:
Two full-time Parking Enforcement Officers would be paid for using the additional revenue that
will be generated from parking citations.
Parking Enforcement Officer, Range 1342, $2,444-$2,971 per month.
Salary $30,100
Benefits 100400
Total $40,500 x 2 = $81,000 annual costs

The Department does anticipate filling the positions in November. Cost for FY 2006-07 is
estimated at $54,000 and FY 2006-07 costs as well as all future annual costs will be offset by the
increased revenue generated.
Recommendation:
I. Add two (2) Parking Enforcement Officers, Range 1342, $2,444-$2,971 per month.
2. Authorize the Human Resources Department to amend Resolution 97-244 and Resolution
6413.
3. Authorize the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2006-07 budget by increasing Parking
Citation revenue account (001-000-4420) by $54,000 and increasing Facilities Parking
control expenditure budget also by $54,000 for no net cost to the City General Fund Budget.
