This is a staff addition, which was approved for the 2006 budget, with a start date of <br />January 1, 2006. The police department recently completed candidate interviews and the interview panel <br /> <br />chose Andrew Zabee as the number one candidate. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The current opening has existed since January 2006. The council has given prior authorization for this <br />staff addition to the police department in 2006. This position will increase community service officer <br />coverage in the evenings and weekends, as well as augmenting patrol operations, thus freeing up licensed <br />officers for priority calls. The position is also intended to increase patrol presence in the City’s growing <br />parks system. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />Funds for this position have already been budgeted for this year starting in January. The starting salary <br />for this position will be $12.45 per hour. If approved this candidate would have an expected start date of <br />April 3rd, creating a net savings of approximately three months salary from the original budgeted amount. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />The police department is seeking council approval to make a job offer to the top candidate, Andrew <br />Zabee, for the Community Service Officer I position. <br /> <br />Council Action <br /> <br />Motion by Second by Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
