Recommendation(s):
1. Adopt
Resolution
No.
23-XX
,
amending
Resolution

establishing
a
compensation
schedule
for
the
classifications
of
Peace

Appropriate

The
proposed

and

changes
will
allow
the
Public
Safety
Department
to
continue
transitioning
into
the
Lancaster
Police
Department
and
provide
additional
law
enforcement
resources
to
aid
in
addressing
crime
and
quality
of
life
issues.
With
the
current
crime
trends,
the
City
recognizes
the
need
to
be
proactive
and
create
a
system
to
mitigate
potential
serious
issues.
Transitioning
our
Public
Safety
Department
to
a
Lancaster
Police
Department
gives
our
city
the
ability
to
address
the
"root
causes"
behind
some
of
these
long-term
issues.
This
is
being
accomplished
by
first
our
hiring
of
the
Chief
of
Police
followed
by
recruitment
of
Peace
Officers
to
enhance
service
to
our
community
and
supplement our existing Sheriff’s Department law enforcement resources.
