The Scottsdale City Council has approved a plan to increase compensation for staff in police communications and water operations and maintenance.
Council unanimously approved the consent agenda at the Oct. 21 meeting, which included market-based compensation adjustments aimed at reducing chronic vacancies among the city’s police dispatchers and water operations staff.
These adjustments are designed to help Scottsdale remain competitive in recruiting and retaining highly skilled professionals who are vital to the city’s safety and daily operations, according to a press release.
The changes follow a review that found persistent vacancy rates — about 36% in police communications and 14% in water operations — as other cities increased pay to attract trained professionals. The compensation adjustments will take effect Nov. 2.
