Summary
The FY24 Quarterly Overtime Report for Q2 notes that overtime spending represented 14% of Class 100 obligations, slightly lower than in FY23 but still elevated compared to historical levels. While total spending came in $1 million under budget, departments such as Streets, Police, and Sheriff increased their overtime estimates due to staffing shortages and operational demands. The City spent 48% of its revised overtime budget by the end of Q2, with ongoing vacancies continuing to drive overtime reliance. Recommendations emphasize proactive hiring efforts, revised budget forecasts, and stricter overtime management policies to mitigate potential overruns.
