Summary
The FY21 Quarterly Overtime Report for Q3 analyzes overtime spending trends and finds that while total expenditures decreased slightly from the previous year, major departments such as Fire and Streets continued to exceed budgeted amounts. Fire overtime increased by $4.8 million, while Streets saw an increase of $1.2 million. The report also notes that nine departments had completely exhausted their annual overtime allocations by the end of Q3. The report recommends closer oversight of overtime spending, better staffing management, and targeted reductions in high-cost departments.
