Funding will be based on our current entry-level salaries and benefits for sworn officer positions plus annual step increases per our current pay plan policy. Any additional costs for positions hired under the CHP grant beyond salaries and benefits must be paid for by the City. Also, at the conclusion of the three year federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHP grant for a minimum of twelve (12) months. The Fayetteville Police Department will utilize the CHP grant to fund four (4) currently frozen police officer positions. With current budget reductions, frozen positions, increased workload, and military deployments, we have been perpetually short staffed. The attached spreadsheet shows the total costs for four new officers throughout the four year grant period and the sources of funding necessary to meet the requirements of this grant. In an effort to minimize the impact on our General Fund, it is our intent to utilize federal forfeitures to fund the City's portion of this grant opportunity. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the 2011 COPS Hiring Program application. BUDGET IMPACT: When the grant is awarded the City Council will be asked to accept the grant and adopt the funding as specified above. RESOLUTION NO.
