CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Meeting Date: October 3, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: City Manager and Human Resources Consultant
Subject: Approve Reclassification of Police Technican to Police Community Service and Evidence Technician and the Related Specification and Pay Ranges Recommendation: It is recommended that the Council: Approve Reclassification of Police Technician to Police Community Service and Evidence Technician and the Related Specification and Pay Range and Authorize the City Manager to make the required personnel change and future non-substantive changes.

Funding: Currently Budgeted: ☐ Yes  No ☐ Not Applicable Account Code: 100-32-02-4010
Costs authorized in City Approved Budget:  Yes (Finance Initialed __AK___) ☐ No (Finance Exempt) INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE:

This item requests the City Council approve reclassification of Police Technician to Police Community Services and Evidence Technician and the related specification and pay range and authorizing the City Manager to make the related personnel change. This item offers a cost-effective solution to an immediate and ongoing need for duties related to property and evidence management in the Police Department. There is no FY 2024 cost impact for approval of this item.

BACKGROUND:

In January 2022 following the retirement of the Records/ Dispatch Supervisor for the Police Department, the Records/Dispatch Supervisor position was reviewed. The review determined that the role was too large for one individual and included responsibility to supervise and oversee employees and operations for both dispatch and police administrative programs such as records management, property and evidence, reporting, communications, livescan, animal control, and parking.

At the time, a City-wide staffing assessment was being conducted, however, the results were not available before the need to recruit for the Records/Dispatch Supervisor. A class study recommended reducing the scope of the position, removing the supervision of dispatch personnel, and shifting day-to-day duties for property and evidence and LiveScan to a technician. Staff developed a classification for Community Services and Evidence Technician and surveyed comparable entities for salary. The Sebastopol Police Association and City Staff met and conferred over working conditions and salary for the positions.

Due to the proximity of the staffing study, staff recommended and City Council approved changes to the Records / Dispatch Supervisor classification and not the Police Technician. On February 15, 2022, the new administrative Agenda Item Number 7

Agenda Item Number:__7 __
supervisor classification of Police Records and Support Services Manager was approved to supervise records and administrative programs in the Police Department such as Records Management, Administrative Reporting, LiveScan, Property and Evidence, Parking, and Animal Control. At the same time the Police Technician position was upgraded from ¾ time to full-time.

Almost concurrently, the Police Technician who was then and remains trained in Property and Evidence Management, continued to work closely with the administrative supervisor, now “Police Records and Support Services Manager”, and took on the additional duties of the Property and Evidence Program, including the Evidence Room at the Police Department and, in accordance with Personnel Rules V.F., was paid a 5% premium for the additional duties from February 22, 2023 through June 30, 2023.

On July 1, 2023, the Department sought other methods for procuring or managing the property and evidence room duties. Property and evidence management is a significant compliance responsibility for the City to maintain the chain of custody and preserve the integrity of evidence collected related to a crime, injury, orinvestigation. Options explored by the Department to cover the responsibility included using officers and sergeants, engaging the shared services of another local municipality, seeking per diem or retired annuitant assistance. In each case, the solutions were either more costly than using the reclassified Police Technician classification, did not meet the need and volume of work or, as in the case of officers and sergeants performing the work, were ill advised due to conflict of interest concerns.

DISCUSSION:

The Police Department has an immediate need to meet the compliance needs of the collection, cataloging, and storage of evidence to follow proper chain of custody and preserve property and evidence integrity. By approving this item and expanding the scope of the Police Technician position to provide adequate coverage for mandated evidence room work is a cost-effective solution.

Staff researched options related to sharing a position with another department which would result in the cost of .5 FTE Property and Evidence Technician. Staff also engaged the personnel of another local municipality for one day of service inside the property and evidence room which, in short order, would become more costly than the total annual cost (<$10,000 a year) to reclassify the Police Technician position. Staff explored the use of officers and sergeants for the work and found based on recent examples in the City of Rampart and Rohnert Park was unwise due to conflict-of-interest issues. Additionally, staff attempted to use per diem or retired annuitant individuals for the work but were unable to engage the assistance which would also be more costly over an annual period.

Staff conducted a salary survey for the newly revised classification of Police Community Services and Evidence Technician based on the expansion in scope of work as shown in the table below.
