F. RESOLUTION NO. 24-53 AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 14-39, ARTICLE 8.,\nDISPATCHER TRAINING BONUS\nAs the San Gabriel Police Department continues to grow in size and embrace\nnew technology to better serve the community, training new employees is a\nvital step in their development and, more importantly, in the mission of the\norganization. To fulfill the training needs of new employees and to have\ntenured Department employees conduct the training, it is equitable that all\nDepartment employees who train to be fairly compensated for this additional\nresponsibility, which is not part of their current job classification or daily\nresponsibilities. The fiscal impact on the San Gabriel Police Department general\nfund is limited, as the training pay is only applied to full-time employees who\nare actively training a probationary coworker. The bonus is capped at 5% of the\nemployee’s base salary. Training periods regularly last between four and six\nmonths. The cost associated with this amendment is estimated to be $3,600 for\nthe remainder of the fiscal year. Funds are available in the Department budget\nto absorb this additional cost.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-53, amending\nResolution No. 14-39, Article 8, to include the job classifications of Dispatcher,\nProperty and Evidence Technician and Records Specialist to change the title for\nArticle 8.
