adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-69
RESOLUTION AMENDING 2004 BUDGET AUTHORIZATION FOR POLICE
SERGEANTS
WHEREAS, a review of supervisory needs and crime reduction initiatives in the
Police Department indicates the advisability of increasing the number of authorized sergeants in the
Brooklyn Center Police Department from the current five to a level of six sergeants; and
WHEREAS, an analysis of current staffing patterns indicates that the impact on the
overall Police Department budget would be neutral or relatively minor; and
WHEREAS, the proposed benefits of authorizing an additional sergeant position
through the elimination of a patrol officer budgetary authorization would not reduce the number of
sworn personnel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the City Manager be and hereby is authorized to exceed the 2004 budgeted
authorization of five sergeant positions to authorize the City Manager to approve up to six sergeant
positions in the Police Department with an overall target of remaining within the 2004 budget for
personnel services for sworn officers at the same level of funding set forth in the current 2004
budget.
