Attachment D-9212020 371 able to fill a vacant position and funding for the Commitment to Diversity Officer was removed 372 from the 2020 budget 373 374 The Police Department is asking for funding for one Commitment to Diversity police officers in 375 the 2021 budget at a cost of $92,100. Next year, it is anticipated that there may be up to three 376 candidates that would be eligible to fill the Commitment to Diversity officer position. 377 378 The Police DepartmentÓs overall request related for new spending related to staffing in the 2021 379 budget is as follows: 380 381 New Police Officers (3) $276,300 382 Funding for Commitment to Diversity Police Officers (2) $ 92,100 383 Total $368,400 384 385 City Manager Recommendation Î Police Department Staffing 386 2021 Levy Impact: Increase of $92,100 387 From the Police DepartmentÓs request, I have only included funding for the Commitment to 388 Diversity officer position. Given the number of eligible candidates we will have to fill that 389 position in 2021, it is important that we create funding to ensure that a diverse candidate joins the 390 Roseville Police Department. Knowing that there may be continued turnover in the Police 391 Department as officers retire, I am counting that there will be some vacant officer positions that 392 other existing CSO or cadet position can fill. 393 394 I have not included the three requested police officers in the 2021 budget for a couple of reasons. 395 First and foremost, given the havoc that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused for businesses, 396 residents, and the economy, I have attempted to minimize adding additional tax burden and have 397 focused on funding existing services and only very urgent priorities. These priorities have evolved 398 throughout 2020 as previously mentioned. Therefore, to add slightly over $275,000 of additional 399 tax burden to the taxpayers is not feasible this year. Beyond the fiscal reason, it is important to 400 note that the Roseville Police Department will be seeing a leadership change as Chief Rick 401 Mathwig will be retiring. His retirement will allow the new chief to look at the organization with 402 a fresh set of eyes to look at the organizational structure of the Police Department. I do expect 403 there will need to be continued discussion on ensuring Roseville has the proper amount of 404 personnel in the field to ensure that the increasing call loads are properly addressed. 405 406 It should be noted that the CSC Investigator position that was part of the 2020 budget through 407 grant funds is now fully funded by tax levy in the 2021 budget 408 409 Total new levy costs for the Police Department staffing requests included in City ManagerÓs 410 proposed 2021 budget: 411 412 Funding for Commitment to Diversity Police Officer (1) $ 92,100 413 Total$ 92,100 414 415 Fire Department 416 In 2015, the Roseville Fire Department began the transition to a full-time firefighter staffing 417 model. To date, there are now 18 full-time firefighters (in addition to the Fire Chief and Assistant 418 Fire Chief). In 2018, the City Council received a presentation from the Fire Department regarding Page 14 of 20
