adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2002-14
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXCEED THE
NUMBER OF SWORN POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS IN THE BUDGET
WHEREAS, the City Manager has proposed continuing a flexible police officer
staffing concept; and
WHEREAS, the process of filling an open police officer position can take as long as
eight to ten months before the position is fully replaced; and
WHEREAS, the City has historically had officers retire or resign each year and has
had officers unavailable for periods of time due to injury or leaves of absence and the flexible hiring
of officers helps address the staffing needs in face of these historical patters; and
WHEREAS, it has been proposed that the City Manager continue to be authorized to
exceed the budgeted number of sworn personnel in order to more effectively utilize testing processes
and to staff more effectively.
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 budgeted number
of sworn personnel within the Police Department budget, provided that the overall personnel budget
within the Police Department shall be target for overall personnel costs in a given budget year.
BE, IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this authorization shall be effective beginning
on January 1, 2002, and expiring on December 31, 2003.
