As the city is a service organization, personnel services is the single largest expenditure category for the
General Fund and includes the costs related to salaries, insurance and retirement. Year-end projections
reflect cost savings due to retirements, vacancies and re-organizations within the city during FY 2020-
21. The FY 2021-22 budget maintains the 2% step plan for sworn public safety personnel. Police officer,
firefighter/EMTs, firefighter/paramedics, the fire marshal and the fire training officer will receive a 3%
market adjustment, totaling to a 5% raise (step plus market). All other sworn positions will receive a 1.5%
market adjustment, totaling to a 3.5% raise. Also included in the budget is a 4.0% merit increase for
civilian employees. All increases would be implemented on October 1, 2021 for eligible employees. In
addition, a Detention Officer is being added to the Jail, a dispatcher is reclassified to a NETCOM Assistant
Manager.

As part of the conservative approach to budgeting, the City does not budget for vacancy savings. In FY
2020-21, the city council approved a budget amendment to transfer $1,000,000 in vacancy savings to
the Self-Insurance Fund which will begin in FY 2021-22. The FY 2020-21 personnel budget increased by
8.4% from the FY 2020-21 amended budget due to the transfer. Prior to the amendment, FY 2021-22
personnel costs are only increasing by $1,003,119 or 4.0%.
