Mr. Marlow stated ETEG is under the umbrella of REDI. He then presented the following with general discussion throughout: ETEG is a volunteer group to study new opportunities and help the community better understand them. This happens by participating in community meetings; providing educational materials; writing commentary; producing reference materials; and, engaging with industry partners.

He reviewed additional contact information. General comments followed. Ladder Truck Lease/Purchase Discussion: Chief Nelson stated the lease purchase, under the new proposal, would allow the potential to purchase large pieces of equipment. This lease would replace a current aerial apparatus ladder truck that is ready for reserve. Chief Nelson stated there was not previous adequate planning within the Idaho Falls Fire Department (IFFD) for large purchases of vehicles. Approximately four (4) years ago the IFFD discussed with Council compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1901 Standard and, operating the apparatus on a schedule that would allow a 15-year front line use and then placed into reserve for ten (10) years. This would allow the equipment to have a 25-year life span. At that time most of the fleet was 20 years old or older. The IFFD would be in-line with the NFPA Standard with this final piece of equipment and would also solidify the Municipal Equipment Replacement Fund (MERF) for the future of the IFFD. Chief Nelson stated the NFPA 1901 Standard, for National and industry best practices, is updated every three (3) years and identified through peer review. He noted there is also current discussion regarding cancer and clean cabs within the IFFD. Chief Nelson stated the reserve aerial apparatus ladder truck is being used front line as there is currently no reserve apparatus. The lack of reserve apparatus affects the Insurance Service Office 2 June 24, 2019 (ISO) rating. Chief Nelson stated, based on the Standard, the current ladder truck should be put into reserve in 2021. A ladder truck is an 18-month build and is estimated at $1.4M if completely customized. Chief Nelson does not believe all customizations are needed for this community. Any contracts would be presented to the Council in October. Deputy Chief Coffey presented a video of the proposed ladder truck. He stated the truck has a mid-mount aerial, the clearance is lower, and, there is a tighter turning radius. Chief Nelson noted, per discussion with Legal staff and Municipal Services, a lease purchase is not the cheapest option for the truck. Option 1 – cash up front would be a $70,000 saving. This funding is not available in the MERF account. Option 2 – put money into MERF ($450,000 annually) and save for three (3) years. This option would not meet the schedule, would put the IFFD approximately three (3) years out of compliance of the NFPA, and, would be the most expensive option due to inflation increases. Option 3 – the lease purchase with a five-year term of ~$297,000 annually. There would be a contract with a build- out over the next several months. The contract would be finalized with a lock-in price. The first payment would be due in the following year with a six-month delivery date. Councilmember Smede questioned the insurance. Chief Nelson indicated Idaho Counties Risk Management Program (ICRMP) covers the equipment. He does not believe there would be issues with a contract. This equipment could/would not be used for wildland fire, State emergencies, or, out of State fires. At the end of the five-year payments, the ladder truck would belong to the City and would be used for 20 years. It could then be sold at the end of the 25 years. Mr. Kirkham stated, per Legal review of the contract, the Council could stop the lease at any time although the City would be out of any money at that point. There would be no penalty to walk away. Chief Nelson stated MERF would continue to be funded and funds are being allocated for future purchases. He noted the next engine will need purchased in 2024/2025. General discussion followed. Chief Nelson stated a contract will be presented in October 2019 to proceed forward. Personal Concerns and Proposed Changes to the Police Personnel Manual: Chief Johnson stated, per requirements of the Police Personnel Manual, the first of three (3) meetings has occurred. He stated four (4) items were discussed although, following conversation with Legal staff, it was determined one (1) suggestion regarding the Crime Stoppers phone was not allowed. He reviewed the following proposed additions with general discussion throughout: Certificate pay – this is currently being paid to officers and dispatch employees and would not change the previous practice. This certificate pay would apply to additional certificates/incentive for additional training from Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). The total cost for the increased dispatch certificate pay would be $7,686.00. The certificate pay would apply to sworn police officers and dispatch employees only. Language pay – this is currently being paid for Spanish speaking employees. This language pay would apply to an employee who fluently speaks a second language other than English, including American Sign Language, as certified by an appropriate test. Mayor Casper believes the intent of demographic users needs to be clarified. Uniform allowance – a sworn police officer who is not issued a uniform shall receive a uniform allowance as long as the employee is not issued a uniform. This would apply to sworn police officers only. Chief Johnson reviewed wage comparisons for ten (10) comparable cities for sworn entry, five (5) years, sworn top out, and, years to top out. He stated the IFPD is at comparable levels with the exception of Years to Top Out (IFPD is at 22 years). He indicated the goal is to be at 18 years over the course of the next four (4) years. He proposed a separate police scale which would be comparable to the current step and grade scale and would recognize the different ranks. He indicated this change would amount to an increase of $17,000 for the upcoming budget year. Councilmembers requested data for Years to Top Out at 15 years. The proposed pay scale would be effective October 1. This item will be included on a future Council Meeting agenda. Business License Appeal Hearing: Captain Squires stated Ms. Ruoho was denied a child care license as she was arrested in May 2017 for several charges. He indicated the denial was based on City Code 6-3-8(D) having been found guilty of or received a withheld judgment for a crime involving any controlled substance. Mayor Casper stated the City Council has the ability to overrule the denial if they feel there is compelling reason. Ms. Ruoho stated she had just turned 18 years old, was trying to figure out who she was, and, was hanging around the wrong individuals. She indicated those individuals are now excluded from her life. She now has a 4-month old daughter, is the only parent in her daughter’s life, and, child care is the only career she wants to pursue. She knew those charges would jeopardize her future. Ms. Ruoho stated she has worked very hard to get to where she is today. Councilmember Radford questioned drug testing with the potential employer. 3 June 24, 2019 Ms. Ruoho confirmed there is drug testing. Captain Squires stated if a drug test with the employer resulted in a positive test and termination, the City license would still be valid for two (2) years. Mr. Kirkham confirmed drug testing would be a private issue with the employer. Councilmember Francis questioned additional charges. Ms. Ruoho stated this is the only charge she has ever received. Councilmember Smede questioned the disclosure of this charge on the application. Captain Squires stated Ms. Ruoho initially applied for a child care license in 2015 and this was a renewal of the license. Mr. Kirkham confirmed the renewal application does not require the same paperwork as a new application. Ms. Hampton stated an individual’s information would stay in the system for five (5) years to prevent duplication of licensing. To the response of several Councilmembers, Ms. Ruoho reviewed her employment history and future plans for an education. She noted she was not working at a child care facility at the time of the charge. Following additional general discussion, comments, and questions Mayor Casper requested a roll call vote. She stated a ‘Yes’ vote would overrule the denial, approve the appeal, and, issue the child care license. A ‘No’ vote would uphold the original denial. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Francis, Freeman, Radford, Smede, Hally. Nay – none. Motion carried. Mayor Casper encouraged Ms. Ruoho get on a plan to further her education. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:52 s/ Kathy Hampton s/ Rebecca L. Noah Casper CITY CLERK MAYOR 4

CALL FOR AGENDA ITEMS Meeting adjourned at 1:17 p.m. Next meeting will be held June 17, 2019. Recorded by: Tracy Sessions, Clerk, Parks & Recreation Honorable Mayor and City Council Duane Nelson; Fire Chief Tuesday, June 18, 2019 Lease/Purchase of New Ladder Truck Attached for discussion at the June 24, 2019, work session are associated documents for the lease/purchase program from Pierce Manufacturing. Over the last several years the Fire Department has worked to become and maintain compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1901 Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus. This Standard sets minimum standards for mechanical, safety, lighting as well as all equipment that should be included with fire apparatus to be standards compliant in the United States. The NFPA 1901 Standard also sets as a guideline that Fire Apparatus are to be utilized for 25 years. This time is established as a front-line working apparatus for the first 15 years followed by 10 years in reserve status. Based on this standard we have adopted; our current ladder truck should become a reserve piece of equipment in 2021. The quoted price to replace a ladder truck is $1,415,930.00. Attached you will see that utilizing a 5-year term the annual payments will be $297,044.03 and entering into the contract for the FY19/20 the first payment will not be due for one calendar year after signing as the vehicle will not be ready for delivery for 18 months following the agreement as it takes this time to build this type of apparatus. This option does cost slightly more than that of paying for a vehicle outright. Approximately $8000.00 determined by review from City Finance and accounting for a standard 3% increase in cost annually. The lease/purchase program has undergone reviews by the Fire Department, City Legal and Municipal Services Purchasing and Finance Departments. This purchase will secure our ability to maintain NFPA compliance while preserving the established Fire Department MERF contributions and addressing vehicle and apparatus needs of the future.

Proceeds of any insurance recovery will be applied to Lessee’s obligations under this Section 13. 13.2 If a Casualty Loss occurs to any Equipment, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the same and Lessee shall, unless otherwise directed by Lessor, immediately repair the same. 13.3 If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty Loss beyond repair (“Lost Equipment”), then Lessee shall either: (a) immediately replace the Lost Equipment with similar equipment in good repair, condition and working order free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor’s Liens) and deliver to Lessor a bill of sale covering the replacement equipment, in which event such replacement equipment shall automatically be Equipment under the applicable Lease; or (b) on the next scheduled Rent Payment date, pay Lessor (i) all amounts owed by Lessee under the applicable Lease, including the Rent Payment due on such date plus (ii) an amount equal to the applicable Termination Value set forth in the Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease. If Lessee is making such payment with respect to less than all of the Equipment under a Lease, then Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Rent Payment and Termination Value to be paid by Lessee with respect to the Lost Equipment. 13.4 Lessee shall bear the risk of loss for, shall pay directly, and shall defend against any and all claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), damages or losses arising under or related to any Equipment, including, but not limited to, the possession, ownership, lease, use or operation thereof. These obligations of Lessee shall survive any expiration or termination of any Lease. Lessee shall not bear the risk of loss of, nor pay for, any claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including attorney’s fees), damages or losses which arise directly from events occurring after any Equipment has been returned by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease or which arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. 14. INSURANCE. 14.1 (a) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times keep all Equipment insured against all risks of loss or damage from every cause whatsoever for an amount not less than the Termination Value of the Equipment. Proceeds of any such insurance covering damage or loss of any Equipment shall be payable to Lessor as loss payee. (b) The Total Amount Financed as set forth on the Schedule A-1 does not include the payment of any premium for any liability insurance coverage for bodily injury and/or property damage caused to others and no such insurance will be purchased by Lessor. (c) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times carry public liability and property damage insurance in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lessor protecting Lessee and Lessor from liabilities for injuries to persons and damage to property of others relating in any way to any Equipment. Proceeds of any such public liability or property insurance shall be payable first to Lessor as additional insured to the extent of its liability, and then to Lessee. 14.2 All insurers shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor satisfactory evidence of required insurance coverage and all renewals and replacements thereof. Each insurance policy will require that the insurer give Lessor at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation of such policy and will require that Lessor’s interests remain insured regardless of any act, error, misrepresentation, omission or neglect of Lessee. The insurance maintained by Lessee shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor. 15. PURCHASE OPTION. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice by Lessee to Lessor, and so long as there is no Event of Default then existing, Lessee shall have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by a Lease on any Rent Payment due date by paying to Lessor all Rent Payments then due (including accrued interest, if any) plus the Termination Value amount set forth on the Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease for such date. Upon satisfaction by Lessee of such purchase conditions, Lessor shall release its Lien on such Equipment and Lessee shall retain its title to such Equipment “AS-IS, WHERE-IS,” without representation or warranty by Lessor, express or implied, except for a representation that such Equipment is free and clear of any Liens created by Lessor. 16. LESSEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. With respect to each Lease and its Equipment, Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that: (a) Lessee has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform its obligations under the Lease, and all such actions have been duly authorized by appropriate findings and actions of Lessee’s governing body; (b) the Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable in accordance with its terms; (c) the Lease is authorized under, and the authorization, execution and delivery of the Lease complies with, all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations (including, but not limited to, all open meeting, public bidding and property acquisition laws) and all applicable judgments and court orders; (d) the execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of its obligations under the Lease will not result in a breach or violation of, nor constitute a default under, any agreement, lease or other instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee’s properties may be bound or affected; (e) there is no pending, or to the best of Lessee’s knowledge threatened, litigation of any nature which may have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under the Lease; and (f) Lessee is a state, or a political subdivision thereof, as referred to in Section 103 of the Code, and Lessee’s obligation under the Lease constitutes an enforceable obligation issued on behalf of a state or a political subdivision thereof. 17. TAX COVENANTS. Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that: (a) Lessee shall comply with all of the requirements of Section 149(a) and Section 149(e) of the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, and such compliance shall include, but not be limited to, keeping a complete and accurate record of any assignments of any Lease and executing and filing Internal Revenue Form 8038G or 8038GC, as the case may be, and any other information statements reasonably requested by Lessor; (b) Lessee shall not do (or cause to be done) any act which will cause, or by omission of any act allow, any Lease to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code or any Lease to be a “private activity bond” within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code; and (c) Lessee shall not do (or cause to be done) any act which will cause, or by omission of any act allow, the interest portion of any Rent Payments to be or become includable in gross income for Federal income taxation purposes under the Code. (d) If Lessor either (i) receives notice, in any form, from the IRS; or (ii) reasonably determines, based on an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and approved by Lessee, which approval Lessee shall not unreasonably withhold, that Lessor may not exclude the interest component of any Rent Payment under a Tax-Exempt Lease from federal gross income because Lessee breached a covenant contained herein, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within thirty (30) days after Lessor notifies Lessee of such determination, the amount which, with respect to Rent Payments previously paid and taking into account all penalties, fines, interest and additions to tax (including all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the interest component of all Rent Payments under such Tax-Exempt Lease due through the date of such event) that are imposed on Lessor as a result of the loss of the exclusion, will restore to Lessor the same after-tax yield on the transaction evidenced by such Tax-Exempt Lease (assuming tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate) that it would have realized had the exclusion not been lost. Additionally, Lessee agrees that upon the occurrence of such an event with respect to a Tax-Exempt Lease, it shall pay additional rent to Lessor on each succeeding Rent Payment due date in such amount as will maintain such after-tax yield to Lessor. Lessor’s determination of the amount necessary to maintain its after-tax yield as provided in this subsection (b) shall be conclusive (absent manifest error). Notwithstanding anything in a Tax-Exempt Lease to the contrary, any payment that Lessee is required to make pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be made only from Legally Available Funds. 18. ASSIGNMENT. 18.1 Lessee shall not assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, nor grant any Lien on, nor otherwise dispose of, any Lease or any Equipment or any interest in any Lease or Equipment. 18.2 Lessor may assign its rights, title and interest in and to any Lease or any Equipment, and/or may grant or assign a security interest in any Lease and its Equipment, in whole or in part, to any party at any time. Any such assignee or lien holder (an “Assignee”) shall have all of the rights of Lessor under the applicable Lease. LESSEE AGREES NOT TO ASSERT AGAINST ANY ASSIGNEE ANY CLAIMS, ABATEMENTS, SETOFFS, COUNTERCLAIMS, RECOUPMENT OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR DEFENSES WHICH LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR. Unless otherwise agreed by Lessee in writing, any such assignment transaction shall not release Lessor from any of Lessor’s obligations under the applicable Lease. An assignment or reassignment of any of Lessor’s right, title or interest in a Lease or its Equipment shall be enforceable against Lessee only after Lessee receives a written notice of assignment which discloses the name and address of each such Assignee. Lessee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all such assignments in the form necessary to comply with Section 149(a) of the Code. Lessee agrees to acknowledge in writing any such assignments if so requested. 18.3 Each Assignee of a Lease hereby agrees that: (a) the term Secured Obligations as used in Section 8.3 hereof is hereby amended to include and apply to all obligations of Lessee under the Assigned Leases and to exclude the obligations of Lessee under any Non-Assigned Leases; (b) said Assignee shall have no Lien on, nor any claim to, nor any interest of any kind in, any Non-Assigned Leases; and (c) Assignee shall exercise its rights, benefits and remedies as the assignee of Lessor (including, without limitation, the remedies under Section 20 of the Master Lease) solely with respect to the Assigned Leases. “Assigned Leases” means only those Leases which have been assigned to an Assignee pursuant to a written agreement; and “Non-Assigned Leases” means all Leases excluding the Assigned Leases. 18.4 Subject to the foregoing, each Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. For each Lease, “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events as they may relate to such Lease: (a) Lessee fails to make any Rent Payment (or any other payment) as it becomes due in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and any such failure continues for ten (10) days after the due date thereof; (b) Lessee fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under Sections 12.1, 14 or 18.1 hereof; (c) Lessee fails to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under the Lease and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof by Lessor; (d) any statement, representation or warranty made by Lessee in the Lease or in any writing delivered by Lessee pursuant thereto or in connection therewith proves at any time to have been false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect as of the time when made; (e) Lessee applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of its assets, or a petition for relief is filed by Lessee under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a petition in a proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is filed against Lessee and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (f) Lessee shall be in default under any other Lease or under any other financing agreement executed at any time with Lessor. 20. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs, then Lessor may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the following remedies: (a) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all amounts then currently due under all Leases and all remaining Rent Payments due under all Leases during the fiscal year in effect when the default occurs together with interest on such amounts at the highest lawful rate from the date of Lessor’s demand for such payment. (b) Lessor may require Lessee to promptly return all Equipment to Lessor in the manner set forth in Section 21 (and Lessee agrees that it shall so return the Equipment), or Lessor may, at its option, enter upon the premises where any Equipment is located and repossess such Equipment without demand or notice, without any court order or other process of law and without liability for any damage occasioned by such repossession; (c) Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment, in whole or in part, in one or more public or private transactions, and if Lessor so disposes of any Equipment, then Lessor shall retain the entire proceeds of such disposition free of any claims of Lessee, provided, that the net proceeds of any such disposition shall be applied to amounts payable by Lessee under clause (a) above of this Section only to the extent that such net proceeds exceed the applicable Termination Value set forth in the applicable Schedule A-1; (d) Lessor may terminate, cancel or rescind any Lease as to any and all Equipment; (e) Lessor may exercise any other right, remedy or privilege which may be available to Lessor under applicable law or, by appropriate court action at law or in equity, Lessor may enforce any of Lessee’s obligations under any Lease; and/or (f) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lessor as a result (directly or indirectly) of the Event of Default and/or of Lessor’s actions under this section, including, without limitation, any attorney fees and expenses and any costs related to the repossession, safekeeping, storage, repair, reconditioning or disposition of any Equipment. None of the above remedies is exclusive, but each is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy available to Lessor. Lessor’s exercise of one or more remedies shall not preclude its exercise of any other remedy. No delay or failure on the part of Lessor to exercise any remedy under any Lease shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any remedy preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other remedy. 21. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. If Lessor is entitled under the provisions of any Lease, including any termination thereof pursuant to Sections 6 or 20 of this Master Lease, to obtain possession of any Equipment or if Lessee is obligated at any time to return any Equipment, then (a) title to the Equipment shall vest in Lessor immediately upon Lessors notice thereof to Lessee, and (b) Lessee shall, at its sole expense and risk, immediately de-install, disassemble, pack, crate, insure and return the Equipment to Lessor (all in accordance with applicable industry standards) at any location in the continental United States selected by Lessor. Such Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from normal and proper use excepted), shall be in good operating order and maintenance as required by the applicable Lease, shall be free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor’s Lien) and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Until Equipment is returned as required above, all terms of the applicable Lease shall remain in full force and effect including, without limitation, obligations to pay Rent Payments and to insure the Equipment. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence the transfer of legal and beneficial title to such Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee’s interest in such Equipment. 22. LAW GOVERNING. Each Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state of the lessee (The “State”). 23. NOTICES. All notices to be given under any Lease shall be made in writing and either personally delivered or mailed by certified mail to the other party at its address set forth herein or at such address as the party may provide in writing from time to time. Any such notices shall be deemed to have been received five (5) days subsequent to mailing if sent by regular or certified mail, or on the next business day if sent by overnight courier, or on the day of delivery if delivered personally. 24. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; INDEMNITY; POWER OF ATTORNEY. Within thirty (30) days of their completion in each fiscal year of Lessee during any Lease Term, Lessee will deliver to Lessor upon Lessor’s request the publicly available annual financial information of Lessee. To the extent permitted by law, Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if Lessor requests, defend Lessor and its shareholders, affiliates, employees, dealers and agents against all Claims directly or indirectly arising out of or connected with (a) the manufacture, installation, use, lease, possession or delivery of the Equipment, (b) any defects in the Equipment, any wrongful act or omission of Lessee, or its employees and agents, or (c) any claims of alleged breach by Lessee of this Master Lease or any related document. “Claims” means all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs), claims, actions and suits, whether in contract, tort or otherwise. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) to prepare any instrument, certificate of title or financing statement covering the Equipment or otherwise protecting Lessor’s interest in the Equipment, to sign Lessee’s name with the same force and effect as if signed by Lessee, and to file same at the proper location(s); and make claims for, receive payment of, and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts for loss, theft, damage or destruction to the Equipment under any insurance. 25.

Based upon the examination of such documents, it is my opinion that: 1. Lessee is a political subdivision of the State of ____________ (the “State”) duly organized, existing and operating under the Constitution and laws of the State. 2.

Accepted by:____________________________________ Proposal submitted by _____________________ Bryce Johnson Thursday, May 9, 2019 Proposed additions to Police Personnel Manual (PPM) Item Description This is an addition to the PPM to include certificate pay for officers and dispatchers with advanced POST certificates, language pay, and uniform allowance for officers who are not issued uniforms. Purpose These proposed additions will incorporate wage benefits with budgetary implications into the PPM so they will have approval of the Council. This is in support of the Priority Based Budgeting result of safety. Fiscal Impact / Financial Review The certificate pay is already being paid to officers and to dispatchers. The rate will be increased for the dispatchers to make it equivalent for equivalent POST certificates which are now earned by both officers and dispatchers. The total cost for the increased dispatch certificate pay is $7,686.00. The language pay is currently being paid for Spanish only. These changes would open up additional languages and could increase the City’s liability depending on the number of languages authorized and the number of employees who are proficient in the authorized languages. The Uniform allowance is already in place; it would therefore have no fiscal impact. Legal Review The City Attorney reviewed these additions and edited the proposed language. Interdepartmental Review Municipal services reviewed these additions for fiscal impact. They wanted to make sure the Council was aware of the potential liability for the language pay cost increases. Recommended Action IFPD recommends that the Council approve this resolution to amend the Police Personnel Manual which was passed by resolution on November 8, 2018. ☐ Economic ☐ Governance ☐ Growth ☐ Learning ☐ Livable ☒ Safety ☐ Sustainability ☐ Transportation 2
