PERSONNEL COSTS
Traffic Officer, this department's best qualified personnel's present
salary is at Range 43 Step E ($1,707.00 per month) $20,484.00 a year
plus 53.92% employee benefits. In fiscal year 1981-82 it is estimated
the salary will be (*$1,878.00 a month) $22,536.00 a year plus 53.97%
employee benefits.
The employee benefits as follows:
Retirement (PERS)
Social Security
Unemployment Insurance
Compensation Insurance
Group InsUrance
Uniform Allowance
29%
6.65% (6.70% in 1982)
.8%

$145.00 per mo. ($155.00 per mo in
1981-82)
$325.00 per year ($350.00 per year
in 1981-82)
It is possible other officers in a lower step (pay scale) also will be
best qualified and be used.
NON EXPENDABLE PROPERTY
Due to budgetary restrictions and present manoower, the City is not
able to purchase a traffic equipped police car or increase its ~anpower.
The request is for a mid-size sedan, at'~present is approximately $500.00
less than the full size sedan, will possibly maneuver better in traffic
and be more economical.
The patrol car will be equipped with a light bar, siren, controls and o~
necessary equipment. An effort will be made to obtain a light and sire~
bar system that has the least air resistance to save gas and prevent
loss of power due to a smaller engine in a mid size vehicle.
The request for a tracking type radar is the one reportedly best suited
for this project.
The request for a mobil/portable radio system is to provide the traffic
officer with radio contact whether in or out of the traffic vehicle.
The mobil~ortable radio system is cheaper and there is no need to have
two radios (police car radio and a police portable radio) to keep in
contact when out of the traffic car.
*This is an estimated 10% increase based on City of Ukiah Resolution
No. 79-86 regarding salary negotiations for fiscal year 81-82. Salary
adjustment shall be based on the change in the Bay Area Consumer Price
