INFORMATIONAL MEMO <br />Page 2 <br />DISCUSSION Members of the Court Team shared this ruling with those in attendance during <br />the early planning sessions for the Justice Center. Planning session attendees, including Court, <br />PD, City Administration, and representatives from DLR, quickly identified that to meet the <br />parameters of the ruling additional FTE's would be needed. Additionally, Court Administrator <br />LaTricia Kinlow recently met with Police Chief Bruce Linton to discuss the impacts of the ruling, <br />and the two agreed that to meet the needs of the ruling police staffing would need to be <br />increased by adding two Police Support Officers. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />Per the Finance Department the salary and benefits package for two full-time Police Support <br />Officers is approximately $188,000. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />To ensure the Court is in compliance with the ruling by the Washington State Court of Appeals <br />Division II, and the Police Department adheres with the PREA standards, the City Council is <br />being asked to approve the necessary funding that will allow the Police Department to hire two <br />additional full-time Police Support Officers. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Washington State Court of Appeals Division II Published Opinion No. 51177-1-II <br />12 <br />htlps://tukwilawa-my.sharepoint.com/personalltdsh_kinlow_tukwilawa—gov/Documents/Informational Memorandum - PD Support Officer.docx <br />
