Explanation
This ordinance provides for wages and benefits for the employees in the classifications of Police Chief and Police Deputy Chief. The provisions of this ordinance are primarily the same as the economic provisions contained in the recently negotiated Collective Bargaining Contract between the City of Columbus and the Fraternal Order of Police, Capital City Lodge No. 9.
The pay structure is created based on market data and allows the Appointing Authority to recognize outstanding performance by rewarding a lump sum bonus. The changes in insurance are conistent with changes negotiated with the bargaining unit; however, a nine-percent (9%) premium contribution by the employees covered herein is recommended to be effective July 1, 2006.
Emergency action is recommended because some provisions are effective on a retrospective basis.
FISCAL IMPACT: Current budget allocations will cover the cost of the wages and benefits authorized by this ordinance.
