Direct Billed Recurring Costs Associated with Personnel
All positions labeled “with relief” have backfill overtime calculated into the costs.
This includes filling behind a deputy who calls in sick, is on vacation, or away at
training (except canine training). All other overtime such as late arrest, special
events held by the city, or additional work on investigations, etc., are billed for the
actual time spent. We have attempted to estimate this using a number of factors
for comparison including the actual hours of overtime used in the last two years
by SPPD and those experiences of other contract cities (see Appendix P).
Table 9 on the following page represents the amount of annual overtime and
court time the City of Santa Paula can expect to spend for its City related law
enforcement services. As previously mentioned, City related overtime occurs
whenever the overtime is a result of a special event, late call, late report, etc. The
study team decided that the billable hours for the City of Moorpark most closely
matched the average hours billed to the City of Santa Paula. Therefore,
Moorpark hours were used to calculate the overtime and court costs represented
in this proposal. In addition to court and overtime costs, should the City elect to
maintain a canine team within the city limits, the City can expect to incur 314
hours billed at either a deputy or senior deputy rate depending upon the rank of
the canine deputy.
