Moved by Kincaid, seconded by Clark that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to promote a Lieutenant from a current Civil Service List was reviewed. The position is vacant due to a retirement. The vacancy leaves the Fire Department short a supervisory position that needs to be filled in order to provide adequate supervision and reduce potential out-of-rank pay costs if the vacancy goes unfilled. The projected cost of not promoting a Lieutenant and hiring out-of-rank every day for this position could be as high as $4,400.00, and the cost for the promotion is $2,728.00. There are 21 Lieutenant positions in the Fire Department. Moved by Clark, seconded by Kincaid that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The average cost for Sergeant recall for one month is $856.08, or $7,704.72 for the remaining nine months of FY04. The Police Departments projects the additional cost to promote one Sergeant to be $2,886.00, which is approximately $4,800.00 less to promote a Sergeant than to fill the vacancy with overtime for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Moved by Kincaid, seconded by Clark that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to appoint a Police Sergeant from a current Civil Service List was reviewed. The position is vacant due to the retirement of Sergeant Steve Nemmers effective September 12, 2003. The Police Chief feels the vacancy will leave the Police Department short a supervisory position that needs to be filled in order to provide adequate supervision and reduce potential overtime recall costs if the vacancy would go unfilled. The Police Chief expects they will require 64 hours of sergeant recall per month to fill the vacancy. Using an average overtime recall rate of $35.67 per hour, this would come to $2,282.88 per month, or a cost of $20,545.92 for sergeant recall overtime for the next nine months of FY04. The Police Department is projecting that the additional cost to promote one sergeant to be $2,886.00, which is $17,000.00 less to promote than to fill the vacancy with recall overtime for the reminder of the fiscal year. Moved by Clark, seconded by Kincaid that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The next available opportunity to do this would be on or about February 9, 2004.
