SUBJECT: Ordinance 2487 -2010 requesting appropriation Police Overtime
The Kenai Police Department continues to participate in seatbelt and DUI overtime
patrols, reimbursed to the City of Kenai through a grant by the Alaska Highway Safety
Office (AHSO).
Additionally, the Kenai Police Department continues to have Officer Jay Sjogren
participating in the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) program, in which he is a regional
liaison between the Alaska Highway Safety Office and law enforcement agencies. As an
LEL he facilitates and coordinates traffic safety programs which help keep Kenai
Peninsula highways safer. The City of Kenai is reimbursed for any overtime he works as
part of his LEL duties.
Actual overtime costs for the above programs from January to April of 2010 are
$4,569.75. It is estimated that participation in these programs for May and June of 2010
will total an additional $4,000. Officers traditionally work additional traffic safety overtime
patrols in May and June, especially with the national click it or ticket campaign
surrounding Memorial Day weekend.
All of the above AHSO- overtime reimbursements are deposited into the general fund.
The police overtime account has a significant depletion, and I am requesting an
appropriation of $8,569.75 ($4,569.75 actual plus $4,000 estimated) into the general
fund, police overtime account for AHSO- related overtime costs for the second half of this
budget year (January to June 2010). The actual and estimated overtime costs for the
AHSO related programs for the first 6 months of this budget year are as follows:
Actual Overtime (DUI $1,368.17; Seatbelt $2,452.06; LEL $749.52) Total $4,569.75
Estimated Overtime for May and June $4,000.00
Total Requested Appropriation $8,569.75
