ORDINANCE NO. ~ ~ I ' ~ / AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBERS 8808-97 AND 8889-98 ADDRESSING THE ANNUAL PAY AND MONETARY FRINGE BENEFITS FOR MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH BEND POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR CALENDAR YEARS 1999, 2000, AND 2001 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT On July 28, 1997, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance 8808-97, fixing the annual pay and monetary fringe benefits of sworn members and officers of the South Bend Police Department for the calendar years 1998 through 2001. Since the passage of the Police Department Salary Ordinance in 1997, the South Bend Police Department has undertaken a reorganization of the Investigative Division in a continuing effort to attract qualified individuals and address pay inequalities which have arisen over the years. The reorganization involved establishing different levels for Corporals, based on experience and expertise. To this purpose the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 8889-98 on February 23, 1998. The purpose of the reorganization was to provide the same compensation for investigators based upon the level of expertise they held within the bureau, rather than the permanent rank held by the investigator. To achieve that end, a slight adjustment needs to made for Level III Investigators holding the rank of Corporal. Ordinance 8889-98 inadvertently omitted a section referencing the Sick Leave Cost Reduction Program. That section is being restored retroactively here. Finally, certain Sections of Ordinance 8808-97 are renumbered to prevent duplication. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, as follows: Section I. Detective Classification Pav. Ordinance 8808-97 is further amended by substituting the following paragraph (S)(1) of Section III: (S)(1) Swom members holding the rank of Corporal and assigned to the Investigative Division of the Police Department on a full time basis who are qualified shall be entitled to receive the following additional pay: Investigative Level 1999 2000 2001 Level III 2363 2313 2063 Level II $900 $900 $900
