Yeah just real quickly, | am a liaison to the Police Commissioners and the Police Department puts out an
exhaustive list every month of what their overtime has been spent on and that’s available. And it varies and it
is managed very closely by their finance person, Karen. And | do believe the Fire Department has a similar
report. And the Fire and the Police Departments, they have things that have to be manned and if somebody is
out for any number of reasons, whether it is COVID exposure, or injuries due to arrests which they have had
several. They have to be filled, those positions have to be filled and when they are filled they drive overtime. |
know both Departments manage their overtime very closely and there’s detailed reports on it. So they are
available if any Alderman wants them.
