Thank you. • RHF:klr • Kent Police Department To: /- • -----------Ed Chow--------City-- -Administrator--------------------------------------- Catherine Dixon, Civil Service Commission Secretary From: Rod Frederiksen, Chief of Police / 4�- Subject: South King County Drug Task Force: Supervisor Date: April 27, 1990 Problem Statement The South King County Drug Task Force is made up of narcotics detectives from the cities of Kent, Renton, Auburn and Tukwila. The Task Force was formed to better address and coordinate enforcement efforts on a regional basis in South King County. The Task Force requires a unit supervisor (sergeant) to be supplied by one of the member agencies. The City of Auburn provided the sergeant for the first year of Task Force operation and the City of Renton has provided a sergeant for the second year of operation. Renton' s sergeant will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant during the month of May 1990 and reassigned to other duties leaving a supervisory vacancy. It is the City of Kent's turn to supply the supervisor for the • unit. We do not have an eligibility list for the purpose of promotion to the rank of police sergeant. Recommendation I recommend that Detective Roger Kellams be provisionally appointed to the rank of sergeant to allow him to serve as acting supervisor of the South King County Drug Task Force as is authorized in Civil Service Rule XII, sect 'on 4 . This appointment will not exceed six months in duration. Detective Roger Kellams is a well respected and highly qualified narcotics detective who has the capability to effectively supervise the narcotics unit. He has been Kent's representative on the Task Force since its formation and is very well informed of current Task Force investigations and narcotics distribution networks in our area. In addition, he has excellent contact with Federal, State and Local narcotics enforcement agencies. For us to replace Detective Kellams on the Task Force now would be an improper action for the following reasons: The City of Renton is replacing it's experienced representative on the four man team due to promotion. The City of Auburn has just removed it's experienced representative due to a personnel problem. For the Kent Police Department to remove it's representative now would further reduce the capability of the unit and could cause substantial damage to unit effectiveness. The Kent Police Department, in cooperation with the Kent Civil • Service Commission, hope to establish an eligibility lists for the position of Police Sergeant and Police Lieutenant this summer. Once this has been accomplished, as is required by Civil Service rules, the eligibility list for sergeant will be used to select either a temporary or regular appointment to the position of sergeant to fill the vacancy described. The City of Kent, through mutual agreement with other cities comprising the Task Force, have agreed that each city will provide a supervisor to the unit for a minimum of one year and that this responsibility will rotate between entities. Cost The following is a breakdown describing the difference between Detective Kellams current salary and what a provisional sergeant salary would be PT1 SGT base pay $2987.00 $3336. 00 specialty pay 105. 00 118. 00 ed pay 60. 00 60. 00 longevity pay 30.00 33 . 00 --------- -------- sub total $3182 .00 $3547. 00 • SS 243 .42 271. 35 retirement 152. 10 169. 55 life base 8.96 10. 01 disability 6. 00 6.00 M.A. 41.82 41. 82 Medical 281. 00 281. 00 Total $1915.40 $4326.73 Difference = $411. 43 per month The cost of my proposal can be absorbed within the Kent Police Department budget and no additional monies are asked for to facilitate the temporary promotion. Conclusion This proposal will satisfy the immediate need for an experienced narcotics detective and unit supervisor for the South King County Drug Task Force. In order to meet the agreed to responsibility of taking our turn at providing a unit supervisor for the task force for a minimum of one year will require a regular appointment of a supervisor. This solution will have to follow • the establishment of an eligibility list for the rank of sergeant which we hope will be established this summer. Additional information regarding my proposal is available upon request. �V�6�E�V►@� �@MNI�INN KENT POLICE DEPARTMENT Oki v 'Sgp®1 MAY 3 , 1990 TO: City of Kent Civil Servic C p, oWnission FROM: Captain Dennis Byerly SUBJECT: Complaint; Request for Hearing Chief Rod Frederiksen and I have reached an acceptable compromise regarding our dispute relevant to Kent Police IAC Investigation #89-073 .
