Lee and Ryan discuss overtime funding offsets
Lee asks how the department utilizes state, city, and federal funding to offset city funding for overtime. Ryan explains funding cannot supplant but is coordinated with deployment plans.
Okay, so that portion for the 5,000 hours will be covered by this funding for overtime?
Correct.
Okay, and the department has implemented overtime reduction plans in the last fiscal year, which kept FY25 uniform overtime spending relatively flat compared to FY24.
So how do you utilize
So how do you utilize the state and city federal funding to offset the city funding for overtime, and how are reduction targets changed by changes the state and federal funding have made?
So it actually depends.
We can't, you know, if we're funded for the overtime, we can't supplant with federal or state funding.
But generally, for example, with the subway overtime, it's a great example of the fact that we worked in concert with the state to determine this funding is going to be available to us.
What are key things we can do with it?
So the funding was sort of in concert with the increased deployments.
Okay.
