CtTY COUNCIL MEMO

SUBJECT: Combine and Upgrade Part-time to Full -Time Police Personnel
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the combination and upgrade ofuvacant civilian
park patrol position with epart-time police imaging clerk position toafull-time police support
specialist to meet increased demand and responsibilities of civilian support staff of the Records
Division. The part-time civilian park patrol position will be replaced with the reassignment of an
existing full-time sworn police officer dedicated topatrolling Fayetteville parks and trails.
BACKGROUND:
Since 2006, police support st��t�R��sD���n����ab�|�O.�
FTE positions. During th�Unne.the �ecordsDivision has seen dramatic increases inits'
demand and workload. The Records Division has met this demand through the uses of
technology and modification ofworkflows. Historically, records reports were processed in 3-5
days, but recently those processing times inched upward to as much as 5-7 days. Furthermore,
the Police Department has maintained a part-time civilian park patrol position for approximately
15 years. This civilian position was allocated 20 hours per week to patrol our city parks to report
suspicious activity, distressed citizens, graffiti, or vandalism. In February 2019, this part-time
position became vacant resulting in a small opportunity to address demand and workflow within
the Police Department. '
DISCUSSION:
By combining the two part-time civilian positions and modifying workflow, the Records
Division would receive anaddition oftwenty man-hours per week and significantly |norease
efficiency. Additionally, this modification in staffing and workflow will enable the Records
Division to take on additional responsibilities to include processing Freedom of Information Act
(FO|/\)requests made ofour Department.
BO0GEl/STAFFU8APACT:
The budgetary impact of combining two part-time positions to a full-time Police Support
Specialist will boapproximately $6.353 contingent upon level ofbenefits. This budget increase
will be absorbed through cost savings from overtime and benefits within our personnel category.
This combination of personnel positions has no effect on the approved number of full-time
equivalent (FTE) positions within the Police Department.
