General Fund
Police
Adds 49 officer slots (27 airport terminal, 22 from vacant park police) to 2,957 officers. Cuts $5.4M via overtime, admin, and six civilian jobs. No new patrol officer for neighborhood beats — the adds backfill the airport and parks transfer.
Positions gone
Civilian positions eliminated, including filled ones. Administration says layoffs are not expected because people may land in vacancies. The slots disappear either way[6].
Police “savings”
Overtime, admin, six civilians — against a $44.5M increase. Net is not a cut[1].
Fire “savings”
Overtime and leave management, against a $22.4M increase and a $14.56M labor-agreement increment[1][3].
