Motion (McKeon/Graber) to recommend Council approval of the application for 2025-2026 “Class A” Retailers
Beer and Liquor licenses for Bittersweet Holdings, LLC, d/b/a Staple and Fancy, 110 High Street. Motion carried,

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE 2026 POLICE BUDGET.
Police Chief Weier stated that the Police Department would like to maintain 24/7 coverage, and has worked with the
Police Department budget on ways to keep the coverage, but save expenses. He stated that they would still have 24/7
coverage, but instead of having two officers on duty every weekend, they will go down to one officer on duty each
weekend.
Weier stated that there is a cost savings to the city while maintaining 24/7 coverage and not cutting staff. There will be
occasions where more than one officer will be needed. The Police Department has trialed one officer on duty instead of
two officers on Friday nights throughout this year and stated that it has worked well for the Department so far.
Weier shared his estimated cost-savings with a reduction in weekend coverage.
Alder Graber asked where the overtime hours in the Police Department come from. Chief Weier stated that the majority of
overtime hours are due to covering vacation time.
Administrator Honer asked Chief Weier about the proposal of the shift reduction. Chief Weier stated that he will continue
to schedule the cover car on weekends, and if an officer would like to take time off, they just will not have a cover car. He
will not schedule specific times where there is only one officer on duty. A cover car will always be scheduled; it just may
not always be filled.
The committee doesn’t see any red flags with the proposed budget and recommends the budget as proposed, with the
reduction in coverage on weekends.
No action taken.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion (McKeon/Graber) to adjourn at 6:14 PM. Motion carried, all voting aye (2-0).

WEEKEND COVER SHIFT REDUCTION
The following estimates are the potential cost savings if the police department reduces selective
weekend cover shifts. For the years listed, I went through the monthly schedules for that year
and tallied the number of shifts and the hours of overtime that would have been eliminated.
Currently comp time can not be used on Friday or Saturdays if it would require overtime to fill
the shift. If we no longer require two night cars, officers could use comp time, and the cover car
would be scheduled to work the shift requested off.
Advantages –
• cost savings (see separate sheet)
• Officers’ schedule remains the same non-rotating schedule, but officers will have the
ability to use more comp time on Friday and Saturdays.
• Keeping the schedule the same, the five-officer rotation on every weekend ensures
officers are available if administration determines extra weekend coverage is warranted
due to a special event or emergency.
• The ability for officers to use earned time off on the weekends will increase morale.
• Cost savings to the city while maintaining 24/7 coverage and not cutting staff.
Disadvantages-
• Officer safety, always better to have the ability to have two officers respond to an
emergency in a timely manner.
• There will be occasions that require a second officer. In that situation an officer may be
called out at the OT rate.
• Opinion-
With the lack of part-time officer availability, we have experimented with reducing the Friday
night cover shift at times. We have used this officer to fill the time off requests and to cover
special assignments. It has worked well on the Fridays we have tried it.
Most events are known and planned in advance, so I’m confident we can adjust our weekend
staffing levels as needed. Obviously, there is no way to predict the unknowns and there likely
will be times we will not have the needed coverage.
I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. We maintain flexibility in the schedule,
increase officer morale, maintain 24/7 coverage and most importantly, we maintain the staffing
level (six officers) to adequately provide police services to our community.

TOTAL 679 hrs 373 hrs 737 hrs
FT & PT wage conversion at 2025 rate (includes FICA, Re�rement & workers comp)
2022 (679 hrs.) Full- �me $39.30 = $26,685.00
Part-�me $26.88= $18,252
2023 (373 hrs.) Full- �me $39.30 = $14,659.00

Part-�me $26.88= $18,252= $19,811.00
Annual holiday pay out
• 10 holidays per year
• Officers’ holiday hours range between 80 and 120 per officer
• 80 hrs. x $39.30=$3,144.00 $3144 x 5 officers = $15,720.00 per year
• 100 hrs. x $39.30=$3930 $3930 x 5 officers = $19650 per year
• 120 hrs. x $39.30 = $4,716.00 $4716 x 5 officers = $23,580.00 per year
NOTES – Comp Hour Payout 2022-2024
Full-�me payout is the cost to the city for that year’s payout using the 2025 wage rate.
Part-�me payout is the cost to the city if those hours are covered by a part-�me officer.
The average annual holiday pay earned is 500 hrs. or $19,650. Subtract the hours or costs from
the above payout to determine the hours or cost of OT payout per year.
• 2022
679 hrs. – 500 =179 hrs. x 39.30 = $7,035
$26,685 – $19,650 = $7,035
• 2023
373 hrs. – 500 = -127 hrs x 39.30 = (- $4,991)
$14,659 – $19,650 = (- $4,991)
• 2024
737 hrs. – 500 = 237 hrs. x $39.30 = $9,314
$28,964 -$19,650 = $9,314
Officer’s comp hours can be banked up to 80 hrs. Hours over the 80-hour cap are paid out. 60
hours can be banked and used the following year.

COST SAVINGS PER YEAR – SELECTIVE WEEKEND COVERAGE
I calculated the savings for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 if selec�ve weekend coverage was in
place. I mul�plied the hours worked by the current 2025 wage scale for full-�me ($39.30
straight �me and $58.95 over�me) and part-�me officers ($26.88). The over�me hourly rate
included FICA and re�rement for full-�me and FICA only for part-�me. (cents rounded to
nearest dollar) (2025 base pay FT=$31.40 with the OT rate of $47.10)
2022
• 332 hrs. (41.5 part-�me shi�s) x $26.88 = $8,924
19 hours of over�me x $59.95 = $1,139
TOTAL $10,063
2023
• 372 hrs. (46.5 part-�me shi�s) x $26.88 = $9,999
23 hours of over�me x $58.95 = $1,356
TOTAL $11,355
2024 FRINGE RATE STRAIGHT TIME
• 204 hrs. (25.5 part-�me shi�s) x $26.88 = $5,484 $5,100
42 hours of over�me $58.95 = $2,476 $1,978
*comp. hours 104 hrs x $39.30 = $4,087 $3,266
** addi�onal available hours = 96 $3773 $3,014
*** addi�onal available hrs sun-thurs. = 120 $4716 $3,768
TOTAL $20,536 $17,126
*In 2024 Officers 1 and 2 comp hours paid out as their max was reached.
Both would have taken the �me off op�on instead of the payout.(Officer 1
82.5 hrs & Officer 2 21.5 hrs) Total of 104 hrs x $39.30 = $4087.
** I found an addi�onal 12 Saturdays in 2024 in which an officer would have
been approved for comp �me. 12 days x 8 hrs. = 96 hrs. 96 x $39.30 = $3773
***The following is the es�mated addi�onal comp hours officers may use
annually Sunday through Thursday. 5 officers x 3 days = 15 days x 8 hrs. =
120 hrs. $39.30 x 120 hrs. = $4716
The above numbers for 2022 and 2023 reflect what the actual savings
would have been if we did not fill the weekend cover posi�on during those
years. 2024 shows the actual savings plus the projected comp payout
savings.
PROJECTED ANNUAL COST SAVINGS – SELECTIVE COVERAGE
Based on 2025 wages, I project the annual cost savings at approximately
$20,000 per year with fringe and $17,000 without fringe. 2026 fringe rates
are unavailable. Projected 2026 savings without fringe is $17,500 (2026
contract rate of $32.82).
This total is dependent on the officers choosing to use more comp days and
taking less payout. The contract allows officers to convert all over�me and
holiday pay to comp hours. Officers have the choice to use the comp hours
at their discre�on (with approval of the Chief) or take the payout.
FUNDS 2021 – 2025

2026 $42,600** $20,600 $22,000
*Funds through June 30,2025
**Proposed 2026 funds
HOLIDAY PAY – All of the current officers convert their holiday pay to comp
hours. If one chooses to, they could get paid the over�me rate on the pay
period the holiday falls. (If coverage allows, the officer can request the
holiday off, banking no comp hours and receiving no OT wage)
OVERTIME PAY – All of the current officers convert OT into comp �me.
Officers are paid out for the comp �me if it goes over the banked limit of 80
hrs. (60 hrs. at year-end). Over�me is earned from emergencies,
inves�ga�on/follow up, training, call ins, vaca�on shi� coverage, special
events etc.
Earned comp hour breakdown 2022 through 2024 -
HOLIDAY PAY OVERTIME
2022 – 497 hrs. 555 hrs.
2023 – 507 hrs. 353 hrs.
