General Fund - Public Safety Communications - $501,661
Body
INITIATOR:
DEPARTMENT:
Lisa Cahill, Director
Public Safety Communications
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Public Safety Communications relies on ReSource Government Services (RGS) personnel to meet operational needs, but the Contract Services Staff Leasing account lacks a direct annual budget allocation. Because the FTE-based model excludes contract staffing, funds must be reallocated from personnel accounts with available balances due to vacancies and salary savings.
This transfer will cover payroll for approximately 24 RGS employees over a 21-week period. It does not increase the department’s overall budget but realigns existing funds to support essential 24/7 services. This is a recurring issue, and similar transfers will be needed in future years as contracted staffing continues.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral
