UPD presents two funding options to add or convert a COP sergeant allocation
Summary
The Unified Police Department presented two funding approaches for a Magna COP Neighborhood Preservation Sergeant: a full new allocation costing $283,600 year one and $217,400 year two, or converting a detective allocation with an estimated incremental cost of $56,940.
The Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake presented two options to fund a Magna COP/Nighborhood Preservation Sergeant. Option One would fully fund a new sergeant allocation with estimated first-year costs of $283,600 (wages, benefits, equipment, vehicle) and $217,400 in year two for wages, benefits and maintenance; the presentation lists the proposed funding source as Magna City Municipal Energy Sales and Use Tax (MET) or another city fund but notes it could require approval from the SLVLESA Board if revenue increases shift cost responsibility.
Option Two would convert an existing COP detective allocation to a sergeant allocation, with a listed wage/benefit differentiation of $56,940; the presentation identified potential one-time funding from the UPD Magna Fund Balance and noted the trade-off would be the loss of a detective allocation. The slides listed pros and cons for both choices and flagged the SLVLESA Board as a decision point if city funds or revenue reallocations are used.
