W-T6 -(Y AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING SECTION II OF ORDINANCE 10192 -12, TO ADD THE CATEGORY OF POLICE DEPARTMENT RECRUIT, AND TO FIX RECRUIT ANNUAL PAY STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT On October 23, 2012 the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10192 -12 which fixed the annual pay and monetary fringe benefits of the members of the South Bend Police Department for Calendar years 2013 and 2014. No separate classification exists under that ordinance for Police Department Recruits. The South Bend Police Chief recommends in the best interest of the City, that Recruits of the Police Department be sworn in as officers of the Department only if each recruit successfully completes the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy program or its equivalent and officially begins work within the Department as a Patrolman Third Class. This will assure more stability within the City Police Department as well as the quality level of sworn police officers for the City of South Bend. Such amendment to Ordinance No 10192 -12 is consistent with the practice in the South Bend Fire Department. It will not violate the collective bargaining agreement between the City and the members of the Fraternal Order of Police South Bend Lodge No. 36, nor will it substantively change the Police Department wages for 2014 as established by Ordinance #10192 -12. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, as follows: Section I. The Title of Section II of Ordinance No. 10192 -12 is hereby amended to read as follows: Section II. Annual Pays and, Lateral Entry, Police Recruit and Annual Pay. Section IL Ordinance No. 10192 -12 is further amended to add a new subsection "(c)" to read in its entirety as follows: (c) Police Recruit and Annual Pay: A Recruit of the South Bend Police Department shall be classified separately from sworn officers of the Department. A Recruit shall complete the State of Indiana training program or its equivalent and commence duties as an officer before being sworn in as an officer of the South Bend Police Department. The maximum annual pay of a Police Department Recruit shall be the same as that of a Patrolman 3rtl Class. Section III. The remainder of Ordinance No. 10192 -12, which is incorporated herein by reference, is in all other ways affirmed. Section IV. This Ordinance shall be effective as c Common Council and approval by the Mayor.

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 -1830 CITY OF SOUTH BEND PETE BUTTiGIEG, MAYOR PHoNE5741235 -9216 Fax 574!235 -9928 DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE February 10, 2014 Mr. Oliver Davis President, South Bend Common Council 4th Floor County City Building South Bend IN 46601 Re: Ordinance to Create Police Recruit Position & Establish Compensation Dear President Davis: Attached is an ordinance which amends the Police Compensation Ordinance #10192 -12 which was passed on October 22, 2012. The attached ordinance creates a Police Recruit position and fixes the compensation for that position. Currently, members of the South Bend Police Department are sworn in as officers prior to completing their police academy training, although that was not past practice nor is it the current practice in the South Bend Fire Department. In the interest of assuring that South Bend's sworn officers successfully complete their police academy training before they assume the responsibilities of active duty within the Department, the City Administration wishes to establish the position of Police Recruit and fix the compensation for this position at the Patrolman third class rate of pay. This will not result in any change in the total amount of compensation paid within the Department because the police recruits will be paid the same as sworn officers. Stability within the South Bend Police Department and the quality and skill level of active duty officers will be promoted by this ordinance. It will also bring consistency to practices within the South Bend Police and Fire Departments. The City expects that the 2014 police recruits will complete their training by March 1, 2014, so the ordinance contains a provision for retroactive effect to that date. U411f Mr. Oliver Davis February 10, 2014 Page Two I, along with Police Chief Ron Teachman, will present this ordinance to the Council at its appropriate Committee meeting and at the public hearing. We request the Council's favorable review and final approval.
