File No. 50413 COMMISSION ACTION: RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED 10. GENERAL MANAGER S REPORT NEW BUSINESS 7-12-01?? The fiscal year 2001-2002 budget added a number of positions to the Personnel Department. The Department has implemented a Recruitment Division, which we have not had since late 1980. Over the next year approximately 4000 city employees will be eligible for retirement.?? The Department has made significant headway particularly in the area of recruitment of local police candidates. Approximately a year ago we were concentrating on out-ofarea testing, however, with the increased amount of advertisement funding received from the City Council and the Mayor, we have found that there are people locally who are interested in becoming police officers. Approximately 1000 candidates took the written test for police officer in May 2001 and we had close to 900 police candidates in June 2001. The average amount of attrition for police officers has been approximately 600 per year. However, due to the Charter amendments that improved the retirement system and discussion of flexible work hours, we hope the attrition rate will lower. There is also a demographic issue wherein employee s hired in the 1960 s and 1970 s are now reaching retirement in our civilian workforce as well as the sworn workforce.?? There is a Public Safety Plan pending, presented jointly by the Police Department and Personnel Department to the Mayor and Council. The Mayor approved the plan, however, the Councilmembers are reluctant to approve the plan. The Public Safety Plan will allow us to analyze what kind of recruitment has been successful. The Personnel Department is committed to hiring more police officers. 11.
