iver <br />Police Department Subject: <br /> <br /> Memorandum <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zcrwas, Chief of Police <br /> <br />October 14, 1998 <br /> <br />OVERTIME FOR 1997-1998 <br /> <br />INFO TION <br /> <br />In the spring of 1998, I was asked by Councilmember Dietz to compare overtime pay for <br />1997 and 1998 for sergeants. This was to determine how much would be saved by the <br />Sa~r~a:~dtuSfideOs'.mg less administrative overtime and adding an assistant chief to pick up their <br /> <br />SAAesrge.ant?~R,o. lf~e,..Mordal, and .Tyler did almost all administrative overtime prior to <br /> s.~stam cz.m.e~ t~eahen being hired. Comparing those hours with theft pay since <br /> s,slst..ant C~.ef Beahen~ st .arted working for .the po_lice department, we have seen a <br />.r, eaucno,n .o,I me,ir pa~, t.or_the pa, st nine months to be approximately $7,300.00 (seven <br />mousana, mree nunared dollars). <br /> <br />If we would add the last three (3) months of 1998 onto this figure, we would expect this <br />saving to be somewhere in the area of $9,700.00 (nine thousand, seven hundred dollars). <br /> <br />Ad .dm]g to this savings, Assistant Chief Beahen does not receive overtime pay. Since he <br />startea working for us in March, he has worked approximately 170 (one hundred seventy) <br />hours of additional hours over and above his normal hours. Some of these additional <br />hours were the result of Jeff working on our computer issues, so we can have our Local <br />Ar~e,a Netwo_rk (LAN) installed by November, 1998. If it weren't for Jeff, this task would <br />not t>e anywhere near completion at this point in time. <br /> <br />Jeff has completed his six (6) month orientation period and I must add that your <br />authorization to hire Jeff has helped significantly in dealing with many of our <br />administrative matters. <br /> <br />Overtime and computers are two of the main issues that have been dealt with because of <br />Jeff. In the months to come, I continue to expect the sergeants' overtime hours to be kept <br />at a minimum for administrative issues. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, in regards to this memo, please give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway * P.O.
