<strong>June</strong>, <strong>1991</strong>Notebook Page 13HANG(Continued From Page 1)our proposals one can obviously see ourareas of emphasis from the chart below.As you can see on the chart we are relativelycompetitive in Base Salary when comparedto the other cities in my survey.Where we have fallen way behind are in thenext three categories. The second columnyou see is labeled "Retirement Pick-up." Ifyou have ever noticed in your pay stub youcontribute about $270 per month towardsyour retirement. Most cities pick up all, ora portion of that amount for theiremployees with the exception of L.A.which makes up for it by paying their policeofficers a higher base salary.The next column refers to how mucheach city contributes for each officer, andhis family, monthly, for a medical/dentalplan. As you can see, the norm is about$400 per month so we have fallen waybehind in this important area. The third columnrefers to POST pay incentives thatjust about every other city in the state pays.Most of the members in our departmentwould qualify for either an Intermediate orAdvanced Post certificate which is basedon a combination of time in the businessand education. I have based my figures onthe highest POST award given in eachsurveyed city. The final column adds thebase pay, along with the Retirement P/U,along with the full family Medical/Dentalpackage, and finally the POST pay.The final column shows the amount ofthe full package each city offers. I am sureyou can see how far we are behind and cansee the reason for our optimism. If we didnot have Prop "D" there would be nonegotiations, nor would we be getting araise this year with the inclusion of Fresnoand Sacramento in our formula. All of yourquestions will be answered in the next fewmonths, so please be patient and have faithin us.PAY RANGE CHART-IN ORDER OF POPULATION (TOP STEP SENIOR PATROLMAN)(FIGURES BASED ON MEMBER UTILIZING MED/DEN FOR FAMILY)CityPopulation Base Pay Retirement P/U Medical/Dental Top P.O.S.T.
