The City of Santa Clara hereby certifies the appointment of Michael Morgan and that this appointment is necessary to fill the critically needed position of Temporary Employee for the City of Santa Clara. The retired annuitant was a Senior Public Safety Dispatcher for the Police Department and will be rehired performing the comparable duties of the Senior Public Safety Dispatcher classification. The hourly rate to be paid to Michael Morgan is consistent with Step 7 salary for the classification of Senior Public Safety Dispatcher, as set forth in the published Classified Salary Plan.
The Santa Clara Public Safety Communications Center in the Police Department is the primary 9-1-1 public safety answering point for the City of Santa Clara. The Division has an authorized staffing level of 21 Public Safety Dispatchers who are trained to receive, evaluate and dispatch Police, Fire and medical calls for service 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. The work unit acts as a coordination point for all emergency situations that take place in Santa Clara, focusing on the City's public safety resources. These highly trained and specialized professionals are able to expand their responsibilities when handling requests for immediate and planned public safety assistance on a more regional basis. In addition to this primary function, this same work group also classifies, documents and records a wide-range of internal and external non-emergency requests; dispatching most to City resources, but also referring callers to other agencies when appropriate.
Mr. Morgan will assist with covering 9-1-1 dispatch shifts and ensure our community receives timely police, fire, and medical services.
Effective date. This resolution shall become effective immediately.
