CHARLES FILES THROUGH OUTSIDE SOURCES.
TAB 9.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Approve or disapprove.
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE:
On September 8, 2016, the Village Council adopted Resolution 16-27 setting the hourly pay for police officers
working special projects or events paid through a third party at $34.00 per hour. That hourly rate was
determined based upon the average overtime rate of all police officers working the special project or event.
Resolution 19-26 updates Resolution 16-27 using the same formula to calculate the hourly rate to be paid to
police officers working special events or projects that are to be paid by third parties. The proposed new hourly
rate will be $40.00 per hour or the hourly rate negotiated in the agreement with the third party, whichever is
greater. The hourly rate being proposed takes into consideration the current pay scale for police officers that
was approved by the Village Council.

the process so the Los Cerritos HOA is no longer is associated with the property.
