Give reasons how new duties arose (statutes enacted, ordinances, newly authorized <br /> programs, basis for increased workloads, etc.): <br /> The number of postions allotted to the section does not meet the minimum required to <br /> provide proper service. To fill seven (7) workstatlons 24-hours a day, seven (7) days a <br /> week, requires a total of 35 pos~tlons; there are only 30 allotted, including supervisory <br /> positions. <br /> 2. Can new dutes be assigned to existing positions or handled in other ways such as short <br /> term contracts, etc. <br /> The new positions are Intended to relieve already overburdened dispatchers. Short-term <br /> contracts are not viable solutlons as detailed training is required for all personnel and it <br /> would not be cost efficient. <br /> <br /> 3. How will new position increase the efficiency/effectiveness of operations (Use <br /> productlvlry measurements where possible.): <br /> New personnel will be assigned the responsibility of handling the call taking and pll <br /> screening of emergency calls, abng with answering telephone Ilnes and other related <br /> duties as required. This would allow experienced dispatchers to handle dispatch <br /> consoles maintaining proper communicatbns with officers on assignments. Additlonally, <br /> with minimal training, a Police Radio Dispatcher I wuld be later used to replace a <br /> positon vaoted by a Police Radio Dispatcher II. <br /> <br />
