 Emergency Medical Services
$382,000
Paramedic Training: Add funding for two Paramedic Training Coordinators and 
one Admin Aide position. These positions will support current and future programs 
of Emergency Medical Services including the addition and implementation of a 
new electronic patient care reporting (EPCR) system. These positions will also 
restore previously eliminated positions from prior budget reductions.
3.0
Status Update:  The Paramedic Training Coordinator position and the Admin 
Aide position are filled. A hiring process was conducted for the remaining 
Paramedic Training Coordinator vacancy but the section was unsuccessful. 
Staff is seeking approval for an incentive prior to conducting another hiring 
process to fill the vacancy.

$260,000
Radio Repair: Add funding for one User Technology Specialist to support the 
maintenance and repair of radios used by Firefighters. Add funding for one Admin 
Aide to provide administrative support to the Phoenix Fire Regional Dispatch 
Center. The onetime costs include one vehicle, technology equipment, and office 
space reconfiguration.
2.0
Status Update:  The User Technology Specialist position is filled and  
continues to be a valuable addition. The radio team was able to perform 
preventative maintenance activities on all radios in the system within the 
year. An annual preventative maintenance program previously required 
support from other areas and often took longer than a year to complete due 
to staffing and workload. The preventative maintenance program resulted in 
finding several radios with issues that were pre-emptively replaced and sent 
in for repair. The additional position and service monitor purchase has 
allowed the team to be more proactive in planning and maintenance tasks. 
In addition, the second team member has been critical to being able to 
provide adequate support for Super Bowl activities and unified 
communication coordination.

 Crisis Intervention
$15,000,000
Crisis Response: Expand the City of Phoenix Community Assistance Program 
(CAP) in order to provide additional resources for responding to behavioral and 
mental health calls for service using a civilian model. Full implementation of the 
enhanced program is anticipated to take 18-24 months. During this time the City 
plans to seek input from the community and mental and behavioral health 
stakeholders to ensure that the program meets the needs of all. Staff also plans to 
engage an independent consultant to conduct a thorough review of the program 
to include process mapping, best practices identification, community engagement, 
developing performance measures, and developing the scope of the behavioral 
health unit request for proposal. The concept is to create an effective City of 
Phoenix behavioral and mental health crisis response program where multiple city 
departments work alongside non-profit organizations and the behavioral health 
community to improve the quality of life for residents in need. The program will 
also allow first responders to return to core public safety emergencies to reduce 
response times. 
130.9
Status Update:  The following full-time positions are filled: ten Caseworker II 
positions, seven Caseworker III positions, four Casework Service 
Coordinator positions, and one Deputy Human Services Director position. 
The CAP expansion is underway with several components planned to 
achieve long term program success and sustainment. The end goal is for 
the CAP to increase the number of Crisis Response Units (CRU) from five to 
ten and create nine Behavioral Health Units (BHU). CAP has completed 
recruitment and the interview process to hire Caseworkers. CAP continues 
to work with HR on recruitment and is planning a hiring fair in the summer 
of 2023. In collaboration with Police and Fire Communications, CAP has 
created Behavioral Health Dispatcher positions. These positions will be 
filled using Caseworker III’s and are responsible for taking referrals from 
Police Communications and dispatching BHUs. The first BHU went into 
service in July 2022 and responds to calls for service in a limited area in 
Phoenix. The City Manager’s Office and CAP continue to look for 
opportunities to engage behavioral and mental health professionals. CAP is 
also currently working with City IT to develop internal and external data 
dashboards. The following full-time positions have yet to be filled: 59 
Caseworker II positions, 20 Caseworker III positions, one 
Curriculum/Training Coordinator, one Casework Services Coordinator.

 Fire Emergency Medical Services and Hazardous Incident Response
$87,000
Fire Dispatch: Add funding for 10 new positions consisting of two Fire 
Communications Supervisor, two Fire Emergency Dispatcher * Lead, and six Fire 
Emergency Dispatchers for the Phoenix Fire Regional Dispatch Center 
(PFDRDC) which provides 9-1-1 fire and medical emergency call taking and 
dispatching services for the City of Phoenix and 26 other jurisdictions. Funding is 
shared between the City of Phoenix (50%) and the 26 partner jurisdictions (50%). 
In FY 2020-21, the City Council approved eight positions fully funded by the City 
of Phoenix with the shared cost beginning in FY 2021-22. The FY 2021-22 cost 
shown represents additional funding needed for one position since eight are 
already funded in the General Fund. The cost of the remaining nine positions will 
be paid for by the partner cities.
10.0
Status Update:  PFDRDC was able to hire and initiate training of two 
dispatcher training classes in 2022. The first recruitment netted seven new 
Fire Emergency Dispatchers (FED) who began class 22-1 in August 2022. 
This group is halfway through their training program and are now working 
on the dispatch floor answering telephones. They are heading into radio 
training mid-February and are anticipated to be fully certified FEDs by the 
end of May 2023. While class 22-1 began training, recruitment for the next 
class was initiated. Fifteen individuals were hired for class 22-2 and began 
training in October 2022. This class will be fully trained by the end of July 
2023. To fill all positions in the section another recruitment process will 
begin in the next 60 days to begin planning of an August class.

 Civil Courtroom Operations - Civil Division

Intake, Transfer, and Release (ITR) Staff: Add two Bailiff positions to provide 
judicial and operational support in a criminal courtroom located at the new 
Maricopa County ITR facility that opened in November 2020. This criminal 
courtroom is designed to handle initial appearances for individuals who have been 
arrested and held by the City of Phoenix. Funding would provide for the continued 
processing of cases in a timely and efficient manner.
2.0
Status Update:  The two Bailiff positions are currently filled. These positions 
have allowed for Jail Court staff to meet critical processing deadlines for 
defendants who are booked on new City of Phoenix charges and existing 
warrants. Jail Court operates seven days per week and must see all 
defendants within 24 hours of being arrested. There is a great deal of case 
preparation involved before the start of the two daily dockets and the 
addition of these positions allows the Court to meet these statutory 
deadlines.  
2.
 Civil Courtroom Operations - Civil Division
$224,000
Orders of Protection: Add one Court Interpreter and two Court/Legal Clerk II 
positions to support the operations of the Order of Protection Office. In September 
2019, the Phoenix Municipal Court implemented the mandated firearm transfer 
process for defendants that are deemed a credible threat in an Order of 
Protection (OOP) case. Additionally, in January 2020, the Arizona Administration 
Office of the Courts (AOC) required the utilization of an on-line public portal 
system. Both process changes have caused increased staff workload and wait 
times. Staff and resources are needed in a customer service capacity, for 
administrative documentation and translation services.
3.0
Status Update:  The two Court/Legal Clerk II positions assigned to the 
Protective Order Center are currently vacant due to staff promoting in 
January 2023. The Court is in the process of recruiting and currently 
seeking applicants interested in a lateral transfer along with external 
applicants who are seeking employment with the Municipal Court. The 
Court/Legal Clerk II’s provide assistance to customers seeking a protective 
order and help them navigate the online portal utilized to complete petitions. 
The Court Interpreter position is currently filled. The addition of these 
positions has helped decrease processing times so customers do not wait 
as long for interpretation and translation services.

Status Update:  Eleven of the 15 positions have been filled with the 
remaining four expected to be filled by July 2023. These positions have 
been instrumental in the formation of the Critical Incident Team and a 
secondary Customer Service Team. In addition, the positions have assisted 
with a monthly average of 2,000 in-person lobby and telephone 
appointments to assist citizens in obtaining requests submitted online. The 
positions also answer an average of 10,000 telephone calls monthly to 
schedule appointments, provide research and location information, and 
provide technical support to citizens. Finally, the positions assist with 
record redaction when available. The Public-Traffic Records Detail receives 
an average of 9,700 public records requests monthly. The additional 
positions have assisted in decreasing the backlog of approximately 60,000 
pending citizen refund requests, dating back to 2019, for requested 
records/reports that did not exist or were not as lengthy as initially 
determined.

Status Update:  All four positions are filled and continue to support the day-
to-day operations and development of the Early Identification System and 
the Innovation Data-Driven Unit. The Early Identification System has been 
standardized over the last year, with completion of the Phase 2 charter, 
resulting in program stabilization. The Early Identification Program will be 
obtaining a SPI Grant and moving to the Employee Assistance Unit in 
February 2023. These positions  continue to be utilized to update policies, 
solidify data collection and analysis efforts, find process improvements, and 
enhance innovation and customer service. The positions will also maintain 
an external transparency website for the department, as well contribute to 
future reform and innovation efforts.

Data Transparency: Add staffing required to meet federal National Incident-Based 
Reporting System (NIBRS) standards, additional demands for increased 
transparency in policing and timely publication of data, and increased workload 
due to Proposition 207's requirement to purge prior criminal records related to 
marijuana offenses. This funding will allow for 22 ongoing positions, including 12 
Police Coding Clerk, six Admin Aide*U7, two Police Records Clerk, one Criminal 
Intelligence Analyst, and one Police R&I Bureau Shift Supervisor. It also includes 
funding for 12 temporary part-time Police Coding Clerk positions.
34.0
Status Update:  15 of the 34 positions are filled. Two Admin Aides were 
promoted to other positions and a recruitment is expected to open in early 
2023. Five of 12 Police Coding Clerks were reallocated for a civilian Records 
Management System (RMS) Team. Four Police Coding Clerk (FT) candidates 
are in background checks to fill vacancies, while Police Coding Clerks (PT) 
have been difficult to hire and retain applicants for the part-time work but 
recruitments are open to fill vacancies. The two Police Records Clerks 
allowed the Bureau to develop and implement requirements of Prop 207 
which required marijuana related records to be expunged as of July 2021. 
Within the first year, 2,353 requests were received, of which 2,203 were 
entered into the Records Management System (RMS). As of January 2023, 
4,709 expungement requests have been received, with 502 records fully 
expunged. The R&I Supervisor allows the bureau to provide 24 hour, 7 days 
a week support to officers experiencing challenges accessing the RMS, as 
well as increasing the quality of data shared on the public facing 
dashboards. The Criminal Intelligence Analyst has been instrumental in 
improving the delivery time of data. Finally, the two filled Admin Aide and 
coding clerks are NIBRS-trained in preparation for the new system. The 19 
remaining positions are expected to be filled by fall of 2023 once the new 
RMS is operational.

allowing officers to be redeployed to higher priority duties. Vacancies in the 
department will offset the cost of the new positions.
22.0
Status Update: The Police Department converted these to ongoing full-time 
positions in January 2022. More than 500 Detention Officer candidates have 
been interviewed through the ongoing recruitment process since January 
2022.  However, the attrition rate of Detention Officers has exceeded the 
hiring rate through November 2022. Currently three of these Detention 
Officer positions are vacant. All of the supervisor positions are filled. The 
department has worked with Human Resources and AFSCME 2960 to 
address Detention Officer and Detention Supervisor market challenges. In 
late 2022, City Council adopted a new grade for these two positions that 
should attract an increased number of applicants.

budgeted amount on contracted public health consulting services related to 
the COVID-19 pandemic through the end of 2021-22. At the outbreak of the 
pandemic, the City did not have the internal public health expertise needed 
to handle the ever-shifting realities of a public health emergency. The

returning to work. Subsequently, a Public Health Advisor position was 
approved in the 2022-23 budget to address current and future public health

century hotel. Staff is also working with Parks on a potential $100,000 grant 
for stabilization of the Duppa-Montgomery adobe building (715 S. 2nd Ave). 
The exposed adobe has been subject to deterioration, and the community 
has expressed concerns regarding the potential loss of this 19th century 
building. Part of the broader project would be the incorporation of robust 
interpretation to inform the public about the early history of Phoenix's 
agriculture, north of the Salt River, and early adobe construction 
technologies. An additional grant funding opportunity is the rehabilitation of 
the South Phoenix Market (4302 S. Central Ave). The City is looking to assist 
with the building reactivation for a produce market. A consultant will 
conduct a building condition assessment to provide a rehabilitation cost 
estimate which would inform the grant amount. This building has the 
potential public benefit of highlighting a piece of Phoenix’s history and 
providing needed access to produce in the area. Staff will continue to reach 
out to property owners to continue to build a pipeline of projects eligible for 
grant funding.
