Title
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE PAY CLASSIFICATION PLAN IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
The Police Department desires to convert one Police Officer slot to a non-sworn, civilian position - Community Safety and Wellness Specialist focusing on building positive relationships with businesses and members of the community by addressing neighborhood concerns through outreach and education, engaging with residents through neighborhood meetings, community events, and door to door visits to understand local concerns and build trust. This position would participate in recruiting efforts and would serve as a liaison between varying community resources to connect victims of domestic violence, individuals with mental health and other special populations to services. This is a budget neutral action, as the position conversion would result in a downgrade from a Police Officer II grade 180 to a grade 120.
