CITY OF SAN BERN/ ;DINO - REQUEST Fl 2 COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
PROBLEM:
Since January 1994, a Police Sergeant position (P-3) has been assigned full-time
to the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) to provide security services to what
was once Norton Air Force Base. This has resulted in a Police Sergeant vacancy
at the police department.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is our request that the police department be allowed to add an additional Police
Sergeant's position to its table of organization in order to replace the
aforementioned sergeant's position. This additional position will remain in the
table of organization as long as the City and the IVDA maintain their contractual
arrangement. There will be no costs to the City as funding for the position will
be provided by the IVDA.
FINDINGS:
Over the upcoming 1994-95 calendar year, the police department will be hiring 17
additional police officers under the "Clinton Police Supplement Grant". With the
addition of these police officers to the department, it is essential to maintain
the first line supervision position within the department. Additionally, in recent
years, the public has increased the demands placed on police officers as well as
police officer actions becoming more scrutinized. It is this first line supervisor
who is responsible to insure police officers conform to the policies and procedures
of the department.
The Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) has signed the "Caretaker" Agreement
with the federal government to take over management of what was once Norton Air
Force Base. As part of this Caretaker Agreement, the IVDA has contracted with the
San Bernardino Police Department to provide security services. As part of the
contractual agreement, the funding from IVDA is designed to allow the police
department to replace Police Sergeant position.
The additional Police Sergeant position (P-3) was also approved by the Council 's
Personnel Committee on May 5, 1994.
