ATTAC�lENTS: MEMO, JOB DESCRIPTIONS, SALARY APP VE BY:
RANGE �,� �-
It has been apparent for some time that the responsibilities and position
of "Team Sergeant" need to be modified. Additional responsibilities and
duties being assigned to our patrol sergeants will also have an adverse
affect on them remaining in the same bargaining unit of the police offiers.
I am recommending that the responsibilities of the patrol sergeant be
redefined and present for your approval a new job description for the
position of Sergeant. This position absorbs all of the responsibilities of
a patrol sergeant as well as assuming greater supervisory responsibilities.
As outlined in the memo, it is my recommendation that the sergeant position
would receive the status of an exempt, supervisory employee in order to
effectively carry out their assigned duties.
In conjunction with establishing a new salary range for the sergeant
position, it is necessary to fairly justify raising the Lieutenant base
salary. Currently, the lieutenant salary is only $300 a year higher than
the patrol sergeant. My recommendation is to move the lieutenant position
to 96 points which would increase his salary from $42, $56 to $45, 000.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
RECON�lENDED ACTION: MOTION TO ABOLISH THE PATROL SERGEANT POSITION AND
REPLACING WITH THE POSITION OF SERGEANT, APPROVING THE SERGEANT JOB
DESCRIPTION AND SALARY R11NGE OF 94 POINTS AND TO APPROVE THE LIEUTENANT
JOB DESCRIPTION AND SALARY RANGE OF 96 POINTS.

FROM: Lyle Knutsen, Chief of Police
DATE: March 12 , 1993
SUBJ: Sergeant and Lieutenant Positions
This is a request for Council to consider abolishing the title of "Patrol
Sergeant° and approving the jab description and salary range for the
position of ��Sergeant" .
The purpose for redefining their responsibilities and modifying� the job
description is to give this position supervisory authority and
responsibilities . Over the past several months it has become very apparent
that the current two patrol sergeants have been exercising supervisory
responsibilities in their decision-ma.king and duties. In the near future,
these patrol sergeants will be conducting employee evaluations which will
be an additional supervisory role assigned to them. In conducting such
evaluations, it is very important that the supervisors are not part of the
same bargaining unit of the employees being evaluated. This also holds
true with the responsibilities outlined in the Sergeant job description
which give this position the ability to discipline, suspend, or reward
subordinates. AttaChed is a copy of the new Sergeant job description.
It is my recommendation that the Sergeant position be assigned 94 points
and the related salary range. Upon Council approval of the job description
and salary range and points, I want to offer the Sergeant position to the
current patrol sergeants. I would like Council to consider a salary of
$43, 500 which is slightly above the mid-point of the "B° range. It is
necessary to offer this amount based upon their respective salaries they
are paid according to the terms and conditions of the police union
contract. This will cost a total of approximately $800 for both patrol
sergeants to receive a base salary of $43 , 500 and longevity benefits as a
nonunion, exempt employee.
I would also like Council to consider moving Lieutenant Dwayne Kuhns to the
salary range of 96 points from the 94 point range. Since Lieutenant Kuhns
was promoted to the lieutenant position from patrol sergeant, he has
consistently made only about $300 more a year than the patrol sergeants.
His responsibilities and duties as my assistant and as the sergeants'
supervisor warrants for him to receive a higher salary. I, therefore,
recommend that Lieutenant Kuhns receive a pay increase from a base of
! $42 , 856 to $45, 000 which is the middle of the "B" range of '96 points.
Attached is a 1992 salary range scheduled for your review. Attached for
your review and approval is a revised job description for the Lieutenant
position. I felt this was an appropriate time to revise and update the
Lieutenant job description.
If Council approves the Sergeant job description and points and salary
range as proposed, the next step will be to offer this position to the
current patrol sergeants .
If you have any questions, regarding this proposal, please feel free to
contact me.
