BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

Police Department

This action will temporarily adjust the number of positions in the classifications of Detective and Sergeant in the New Braunfels Police Department.  An internal staff adjustment requires that we temporarily add one additional Detective position and subtract one Sergeant position pending a Sergeant’s exam to determine an eligibility list for promotion. The total number of authorized positions in the Police Department remains the same as provided in the adopted FY 2022 budget.  There are no costs associated with this action. 

 

This change to the classifications of Sergeant and Detective is temporary nature and will be brought back to City Council for readjustment after the City holds a Sergeant’s promotional exam.

 

 

ISSUE:

N/A

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action.  Funding for all positions has been incorporated into the FY 2022 Adopted Budget.

 

Recommendation

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
