Police budget edges up; city confirms detective promotion
Summary
The council reviewed a roughly 2.61% increase to the police department budget, driven mainly by salaries and a recently filled detective position; staff named Jennifer Genovese as filling the detective role.
City staff told the council the police department budget for FY2026–27 shows an approximate 2.61% increase, largely attributable to salaries, wages and one added detective position. The staff presentation noted that last year's approved addition of a detective contributed to the current-year salary adjustments.
When asked whether the detective slot had been filled, the Chief confirmed, "Yes, sir. We we went with them, and we... Jennifer Genovese filled that spot." The council had no further questions on the police budget line and moved on to other departments.
