C ITY OF Y ELM Service Population The City of Yelm has a high “service population” that must be considered when looking at providing services. Although we have a sleeping population of approximately 9,030, we have a daytime service population that easily exceeds 15,000. This is not taking into account the number of citizens that utilize the services we provide on a daily basis. Taking this number into account we provide a service to more than 38,000 visitors a day. When we look at staffing for current and future population we need to consider the service population that is growing rapidly as well. October 23, 2018 Page 14 Yelm Public Safety

C ITY OF Y ELM Comparables An acceptable way to conduct a survey of comparable cities is to first • determine which cities most closely resemble your own. In doing this analysis there are 4 factors that are most acceptable.  Population  Sales Tax Collected  Assessed Valuations (Property Tax)  Total Tax Collected  For all these factors you do a 50% up and 50% down calculation. For example with population. City of Yelm has a population of 9,030. 50% increase would be 13,545 and 50% decrease would be 4,515. You would find cities that fall into this range. You would then do the same for each factor until you have 8-10 of the closest comparable cities. You also try and keep the comparables on the same side of the mountain range due to cost of living estimates. October 23, 2018 Page 15 Yelm Public Safety

C ITY OF Y ELM 60/60 Rule The International Association of City Managers came up with a National • Standard in determining appropriate staffing levels for police departments. This is the 60/60 rule. The idea behind the 60/60 rule is that no more than 60% of your officers time • will be spent on directed (expected) patrol activity and that no more than 60% of your staff would be assigned to patrol. A department near or above the 60% target would be less productive, lower morale and less capable of providing a high quality service to the community. Departments with more than 60% of their commissioned staff assigned to • Patrol are less efficient in providing services, investigations and supervision leading to a decrease in accountability and an increase in litigation. Yelm Officers are at 63% in patrol directed activity at full staffing and at 87% of • staff assigned to patrol. With restructuring in 2019, the department will be at 73% of staff assigned to patrol.
