MEMORANDUM
•
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: POLICE COMMITTEE
•
DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 1981
In our review of the Police Department and the problems which
have been encountered over the past year, we have determined
that one thing that is essential to bring our department to the
highest level of efficiency is that we have a very strong chief.
With the retirement of Chief Elkins, we have the perfect opportunity
to examine this position in detail and recruit on the basis that
we are seeking the best possible qualified candidate. In this regard
our committee recommends that the City Council meet in executive
session on February 17 to discuss the following:
1. Raise the educational requirement from an A. A.
degree to a minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in
Police Science or Public Administration.
2. Change the requirement of experience as a
police captain or lieutenant to at least five years of broad and
extensive supervisory law enforcement experience in a modern
police agency.
The remainder of the-job description would remain the same unless
determined differently in the executive session.
3. Raise the salary for this position at this time from
$2, 692 per month to $3, 160 per month, a 15% increase, with the
understanding that when the person is hired there will be no
additional increase on July 1, 1981. The recommended amount is
arrived at after reviewing the attached salary survey of police
chiefs in our area.
The changes recommended and upgrading of the position would
allow us to receive applications and resumes from highly qualified
personnel. Our present requirements have a deterrent .for
qualified personnel in that our salary is very low, and our captain
and even lieutenants in some cities making more than our police .
chief.
Also, our present requirement of experience as a police captain
or as a lieutenant in number of years could be pertinent

in a closed promotional examination because we know what our
lieutenant and captain positions do. In other agencies, lieutenants
are nothing more than watch commanders which is the same as our
sergeant. If the requirements are not changed, we will have a
number of applicants who really perform nothing more than
watch commander duties in other cities.
Please review this memorandum and the attached materials and
be prepared to discuss them in detail on February 17.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 1981
TO: PERSONNEL BOARD
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR
The City Council is very concerned about securing the most competent
person available as a replacement for our retiring Police Chief. In
this regard they have given a great deal of thought to the requirements
and salary attached presently to the position. It has already been
determined that the examination will be open-competitive, and hopefully
oral only, so as not to discourage professional persons who will not
be bothered with taking a written examination.
The Council strongly recommends to the Personnel Board that the
changes shown in the attached memorandum from the Police Committee
be made in the job description and also consider the salary indicated.
The salary as shown, $3, 160 per month, would be a flat amount, and,
of course, the bulletin would include our usual notation "plus 7% PERS
contribution."
The Civil Service ordinance requires that the Board review this matter
and respond to the Council with a recommendation to actually effect
the changes. However, in the interest of time, the City Council directed
me to advise you that if you concur with the suggested changes as they
are shown, you may start immediate recruitment on that basis.
Should you have any questions on this matter, please contact me and I will
be happy to assist you.

To: City Council
From: Park and Recreation Commission
Subject: Pool Study
As directed by City Council, the Park and Recreation Commission has
incorporated several changes in the 1981 summer aquatics program. In
rewriting the aquatics study, the Commission has included Council's
desire to increase recreational swimming over the 1980 hours; to elim-
inate any admission charge for recreational swimming; and to incorpor-
ate a resident identification system.
•
The Commission has included a three-hour recreational swim period,
1:30 - 4:30 p.m. , in the swim schedule on a daily basis. Admission to
city residents will be free when the resident presents proper identifica-
tion. Other programs will be offered on a fee basis.
The implimentation of a photo identification has been explored. The
photo I. D, provides instant recognition and eliminates unauthorized
lending of cards to non-residents. The cost for supplies to produce
each card is $1. 25.
STUDY SUMMARY:
a. Lengthen recreational swimming time, as directed by Council
b. Eliminate recreational swimming admission fee, as directed by
Council.
c. Impliment photo identification card system, as directed by
Council.
