Title
Potential Full Time Staffing Adjustments
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff requests that the Commission review the proposed full-time staffing options below and provide direction.
BACKGROUND:
Oregon City Police Officer: Sergeant - Traffic.
The current traffic team is comprised of three Officers. The addition of a Sergeant to oversee the traffic team will provide improvements in the coordination and implementation of enforcement that is more responsive to corridors and intersections that are known areas of concern as well as neighborhood concerns that are more sporadic and require immediate and focused attention. It is anticipated that the proposed position will include responsibilities in the field focusing on traffic enforcement, providing an additional resource to improve vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle safety in Oregon City. A majority of the funding for the position is anticipated to be generated through the additional traffic enforcement provided by the position as well as improved coordination and efficiencies that are implemented with the traffic team. Staff is recommending that this position be created.

Oregon City Parks would need 15 -16 FTE to align with the median agency recommendation.
