Key highlights from the Quarterly Overtime Report include the following:
• Citywide overtime costs are 4.8% above target and total $2.05 million through the first quarter.
• Excluding overtime costs that are fully reimbursable, citywide overtime costs are 6%, or $411 thousand, above target.
• Total Salaries, including regular salaries and overtime, are 1.1%, or $2.4 million, under target.
• Fire Department overtime costs are 19.1% spent of budget for a total of $1.54 million, which is 6.6% or $534 thousand above target. Regular salary savings due to vacancies contribute $912 thousand to offset total overtime costs. Overtime is primarily driven by shift coverage overtime and incident-driven overtime.
o Shift coverage includes firefighter backfill while new recruits attend academy and covering planned leave or sick leave.
o Incident-Driven includes after-hours Prevention work and Wildland deployment to the California wildfires.
• Police Department overtime costs are 1.3%, or $32 thousand, above target and total $346 thousand; however, due to current vacancies, there are regular salary savings of $549 thousand to offset overtime.
• All other departments’ overtime costs are 0.2%, or $2,546, above target and total $165 thousand.
