\ Administrative Specialist - Police 3 December 14, 1996 Department's staff; the Shannon Associates' staffing study recommends creation of a position devoted to the crime analysis and information services function, and 13 PSD positions devoted to the Communications Center. Upon City Council approval, of the proposed ASP position, the audited PSD position would be filled from the existing PSD employment list. Fiscal Impact The Public Safety Dispatcher currently performing crime analysis and information services duties earns $3,309 per month. Using the Shannon Associates' salary study of the San Leandro City Employees' Association, and the staffing study of the Police Department, staff recommends creating a new position of ASP with a corresponding top step monthly salary of $4,107 per month. This recommendation would increase the position's salary by 25% and impact the City's General Fund by $798 per month, or $9,576 annually. CONCLUSION Staff realizes and recognizes the current budget concerns, however the efficiency and effectiveness of the Police Department's crime analysis function needs the proposed ASP position in order to maintain the Police Department's level of customer service, and enhance the level of crime prevention and suspect apprehension. In addition, this recommendation allows the City to continue to retain the best qualified employees in the industry and remain competitive in the labor market. The findings clearly demonstrate that the Public Safety Dispatcher position assigned to the crime analysis and information services function is working out of classification and staff recommends that the City Council approve the creation of a new ASP position.
