Robbins, Chief of Police From Clptlln M. Lewis Subject Pol Ice Ringe MISter Date 8-10-90 Approved Date PROBL~II: The present range .uter, Eugene Henriksen, is i. contract employee presently paid at the rate of $23,760 p-er year. In the 1990/91 budget a ten p-ercent increase was approved, plaCing Mr. Henriksen's salary at $26,136 per year. Based on conversations with the City Attorney's office there appears to be legal prohibitions fro. continuing to contract with Mr. Henriksen or any other individual for the range master position. The legal prohibitions consist of a requirement of contract employees setting their own hours rather than having their hours set by the Police Departlllent. RECOMMENDATI~: Due to the above described legal difficulties it Is ~ recommendation that a perllanent position of Range muter be created under salary rlnge 1278 with the beginning salary of $1,775 per month. Additionally, it Is recommended that until approval for the range ..ster fosition is mandated by the Personnel Review Committee and the City Counci , that an extension of Mr. Henriksen's contract" be negotiated at the 90-91 budget figures until such time as the permanent position Is created. FINDINGS: Mr. Henriksen's present salary Is $26 136 per year. B.Y creating a pennanent .9osition under salary range 1278 the yearly salary woulcr be $21 300. In addition to the salary, tbere would be the cost of benefits at $6,177 per year for a total yearly cost of $27,477. These fi~ures reflect an increase of $1,341 over the present contractual salary For the range .lSter. o . 0 I have consulted with Mr. Henriksen in regards to this issue and he has no proble. with the recOlmtndation.
