To: Mr. Michael Couao, Village Manager From: Chief Christopher L. Elg C�.� Date: Febnaary 6, 2015 Re: PERSONNEL REQUEST — MILITARY TO MAIN STREET GRADUATES In response to your directive yesterday this memo is being put forth regarding our current academy recruits who were selected for the Village's Military to Main Street Program as they are set to graduate on February 12, 2015. We have recently been advised they are graduating near the top of their class and by all accounts should make remarkable law enforcement officers. While I would like to be able to offer them all positions I know that is not financially feasible at this time. I know we have had several inquiries from other agencies regarding them and I would expect they will be well sought after upon graduation next week. In order for us to select the "best of the besY' I would like to proceed with your suggestion that we offer two of them full time employment effective March 1, 2015. We have identified two sources of funds to implemerrt these positions in the current fiscal year. Anticipated cost savings from our current year's budget along with federal asset forfeiture funds (permissible use) will adequately fund these new positions (salary and benefits) for the remainder of the current budget cycle. Attached is an updated table of organization showing how these positions would supplement our current patrol schedule. These positions would permit an even greater presence during the aftemoon and evening hours when calls for service generally increase. The additional flexibility of moving them forward to cover a day shift or back to cover a night shift when necessary would also help maintain an adequate patrol presence in the Village on a consistent basis. While I realize the agenda deadline has already passed, I am forwarding this item at your direction to be added to the agenda for consideration at the Council Meeting scheduled for February 12, 2015 (coincidentally the same evening as the academy graduation). Should we elect to wait until the next Council Meeting in March it is possible this small pool of superior candidates could be even smaller if they should be offered a position with another agency. I woutd prefer for the benefit of the Police Department and the residents of the Village of Tequesta that we get "first pick" of the candidates that we have already vetted for consideration from the initial pool of 110 applicants for the program. � Thank you for your continued support of this request! •�""'--_`_ � , � , • � , � , � ��,�G�� I � �� ' I • �i • • . . 1 . . � � � • - -r �-- �-- : �. !� � . �;:i► ` - ;. 1e o - Police sistant Admin Chief Specialist (PT) Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Supervisor Task Force (Days) (Days) (Nights) (Nights) Dispatch Of�cer Corporal Corporal Corporal Corporal Dispatchers 1�� 1�� (4FI'-4PTl Police Police Police Police Officer Officer Officer Officer Detective Detective Police Police Officer Officer Police Police Officer Officer zPM-a,AM zPM-aAM RESOLUTION N0.14-15 A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, INCREASING THE SPECIAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FUND #605 2014/2015 BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $42,300.00 TO CREATE AND FUND AN ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICER POSITION FOR THE REMAINDER OF BUDGET YEAR 2014-2015 AND AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO PROCEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VILLAGE'S ADOPTED PROCEDURES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
