Staff flags $15.8M PBSO contract and park‑ranger additions in city budget update
Summary
At the workshop staff identified a proposed PBSO contract of about $15.8 million, mostly borne by the general fund; commissioners clarified the increase includes funding for five park rangers and a small salary increase line.
City finance staff told the commission that the most prominent change since the last workshop is a proposed PBSO public‑safety contract. "Right now, it's about approximately 15,800,000," Candice Dale said, and staff said roughly 96% of that increase would be allocated to the general fund with the beach and electric funds absorbing small shares.
Commissioners asked whether the contract includes additional park rangers. Staff answered that the proposal includes funding for five park rangers and that, of a line‑item increase of roughly $650,000 from last year, about $500,000 is allotted to ranger pay with the remainder for a 1% salary increase. Commissioners pressed for specifics on the budget pages and asked staff to confirm the park‑ranger count and exact allocations before the first public hearing.
