Re: Bill No. 64-97 Salaries for the South Bend Police
of the Whole Department 1998-2001
James Aranowski Dear ~~~ Members:
First District
On behalf of the City Negotiating Team, I am pleased to introduce for
Charlotte Pfeifer your review and passage, the following Bill which would establish salaries and
Second District monetary fringe benefits for members of the South Bend Police Department for
the next four (4) years.
Roland Kelly
Third District
This package was overwhelming approved by a vote of 166 in favor
and 83 against by the membership of the Fraternal Order of Police, South Bend
John Broden Lodge No. 36. It is the first four-year wage and benefit package to
Fourth District be ratified by our police officers in the history of our police
department.
David Varner
Fifth District
Some of the new concepts which are recommended include:
Andrew Ujdak * A NEW "5th Shift" which will work from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. to
sixth District provide better officer coverage of the City and will enhance Individual officer
safety. This shift will be added to the afternoon, midnight and detective bureau
(nights) as the type of detail receiving shift premiums.
Sean Coleman
At Large * NEW Seniority-Shift Incentive Premium Pays for afternoon,
John Hosinski midnights, and the 5th shifts which will pay additional dollars to police officers
At Large who have eight (8) years of seniority or more or are above the rank of corporal.
It is the City s belief that this type of Incentive may foster a better mix of sensor
Rod Sniadecki officers with the younger men and women working those shifts.
At Large
* NEW Critical Duty Day Stipends are recommended for six (6)
Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand days selected in each calendar year where due to the type of activities scheduled
council Attorney in the City require the Uniform Division to be working. There will no longer be
holiday nay for every member of the department. Police officers who are
scheduled to work a designated critical duty day and be available in uniform will
receive a stipend of $150.00.
* ANEW Wellness and Fitness Program is recommended to be
established by September 15, 2000. Qualifying police officers would be
entitled to a ten percent (10%) reduction of his or her monthly insurance
premium for meeting overall health and life fitness standards with such
South Bend Common Council
July 28, 1997
Page 2
standards becoming a condition of employment for all police officers hired after
September 15, 2000.
* A NEW Zero-Tolerance Drug Policy will be effective January
1,1998. This is the first City Department to commit to such strict restrictions.
* A NEW Body Armor Quartermaster System whereby the City
will purchase new body armor vests for each member of the Uniform Division
and will also purchase twelve (12) body armor vest each year and make them
available on a first come first serve basis to non-Uniform Division police on a
needed basis.
This ordinance would also establish competitive base salaries for all
ranks in the South Bend Police Department. The attached chart shows the base
The ordinance would maintain special duty pays for special hazazdous
duties performed by the SOS Undercover, SOS, K-9 Units, SWAT, Bomb
Technicians and the hostage negotiators.
The annual cash allowance is recommended to be set at $ 2,200 each
year of the package. This allowance incorporates the former gun/radio
allowance which is currently paid separately. Compliance with uniform upkeep
and maintenance standards is required of all police officers receiving such
allowance with deductions possible for non-compliance.
Longevity pay has been maintained at its current levels, as have court
time pay and overtime pay. The "Tuition Reimbursement" program has been
revamped to provide a greater amount of reimbursement based on the higher
the course grade earned. "Operation Safe Neighborhood" will be continued at
its current reimbursement rate of $ 1,500 to officers who live in designated
areas of the City. Life insurance will increase from $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 in the
year 2000. Health premiums for single and dependent coverage will remain
capped at current premium rates.
On behalf of the City Negotiating Team comprised of Council President
Roland Kelly, Public Safety Chairperson Charlotte Pfeifer, Personnel and
Finance Chairperson Sean Coleman, City Controller M. Catherine Roemer and
Thomas Bodnar, Board of Public Safety Attorney, I would like to thank the
F.O.P. Negotiating Team made up of Leo T. Blackwell, Chief Spokesperson,
