REQUEST
ApprovalofarevisedpayscaleforCommunityServiceAidesranging
from $9.00 per hour to $11.51 per hour.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The use of Community Service Aides (CSA's)is an important element
ofan effective and efficient policedepartment.CSA'scan perform
numerous functions,such as accident reporting,ata much lower
cost than a sworn police officer.Additionally,the use of CSA's
frees up sworn police officers to focus on more critical crime
prevention and fighting activities.
Pursuant to the current budget,the position of Community Service
Aide was created within the Police Department asa full time slot,
with six openings authorized.
The existing pay scale for part-time CSA's starts at $7.00 per
hour.A survey ofthe four major agencies in Miami Dade County
employing civilians inthis capacity revealed an average salary of
$8.66.South Miami,at$7.00 per hour ranks last.The survey
results are attached.In order for the City to be able to recruit
and retain high quality personsamore competitive salary range is
required.
A range of $9.00 -$11.51 is recommended.This places South Miami
in the top quartile of cities.
Sufficient funding is available in the approved budget line item
for this pay scale duetothefact that the positions were funded
asof October 1,1998 and have not been filled asyet.
