Wayne is always on the lookout for ways to save money and curb expenditures WITHOUT comprising services.No matter how smoothly an organization appears to be running, there can most times be room for improvement. These changes can range from wholesale, massive reorganization to minor things such as implementation of new millennium technology in order to better serve not only the organization, but also the community in which it serves. Some items may be transparent to the casual observer, others will be readily apparent. In the field of "Public Safety" there is continual growing concern over the PERS or more accurately, the CalPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System) retirement plan and the exorbitant cost to agencies and the tax payer. One When one hears of able bodily men and women retiring in their late 40's and 50's on 80%-90% of their base salary it makes one start to think about what their own retirement plan offers. With the exception of upper management of major corporations, no one receives such a generous retirement plan. At some point agencies in PERS must take a hard look and ask themselves if they can afford to continue to spend the current amount of money on such a lavish retirement. Broadmoor Police Department pays 100% of the of the PERS retirement plan. Another area is medical. In past years many agencies paid 100% for the employee's medical plan. Now days the employee is fortunate if the agency contributes 50%. Broadmoor Police Department pays 100% of the employee's medical plan. The Broadmoor Police Department needs to look closely into changing the amount the agency contributes to both the retirement plan and medical. |
