OUTCOMES:
Key highlights from the Quarterly Overtime Report include the following:
• Citywide overtime costs are 36.2% above target and total $11.4 million through the third quarter of 2024.
• Total Salaries, including regular salaries and overtime, are 3.0%, or $5.6 million under target.
• Fire Department overtime costs are 29.2% above target and total $7.9 million, primarily driven by firefighter backfill while new recruits attend the Fire Academy.
• Police Department overtime costs are 95.5% above target and total $2.4 million, primarily driven by significant position vacancies resulting in regular salary savings, and overtime caused by Sound Transit.
• All Other Departments’ overtime costs are 4% above target and total $920 thousand, driven, in part, by staffing at special events, lack of need for winter storm response, and the Right of Way (ROW) inspection workload, which has been in excess of what can be completed in a regular work week.
