CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Personnel
From: Diana Leibrich M/CC Meeting Date: 05/06/2013
Prepared by: Linda Wynn, (909) 384-5161
Dept: Human Resources Ward(s): All
Subject:
New Job Description/New Position: Crime Data Technician (Part-Time) (#2394)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
The approximate cost of funding this position through FY 2013-14 is $30,000, and will be
completely funded through the AB 109 grant funds.
Motion: Approve the job description as proposed; establish the position of Crime Data
Technician (Part-time), at a flat hourly rate of $15.42/hour - $18.75/hour;
authorize the Director of Finance to incorporate the changes into the FY 2012-13
and FY 2013-14 budgets; and authorize the Human Resources Division Manager
to update Resolution Nos. 97-244 and 2008-20 to reflect these actions.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
On April 25, 2013, the Personnel Committee Chairman recommended that the job description
and request to establish the position of Crime Data Technician, Part-time, move forward to the
Mayor and Common Council for adoption.
Background:
The California Board of State and Community Corrections are distributing $24 million to local
police departments to mitigate budget reductions to local agencies and, in particular, the crime
impact of public safety realignment (AB 109). The San Bernardino County Police Chief's and
Sheriff's Association has determined local allocation amounts, and the San Bernardino Police
Department will be receiving $816,140; this amount is based on the number of state prisoners
released back into the community and the potential impact of realignment.
The funding should be used in a manner that addresses the impact of realignment; it should be
used collaboratively with County Probation efforts to manage the probationer population, and
should focus on best and promising practices that address serious violent crime and habitually
non-compliant offenders.
Due to the potential impact of the realignment, there is a current need to establish a part-time
position to assist Crime Analysts in collecting, analyzing and reporting on crime information.
The Human Resources Department is requesting approval of this recommendation.
