Memorandum


Please note that this has both General and Special Revenue expenses tied to it. I am adding the CO raise to all CO positions so that he base salary will be corrected on the vacant positions as well. This is a complete estimate on the amount needed for sign on bonus. If there is a huge increase in hiring above what is projected a supplemental may be required. Made revisions by adding sign on bonus amounts for 24-26. I did not add anything for retention after that time frame General Revenue impact - $32,474,100 Special Revenue Impact - $15,058,650 FY24 General Special Retention $10,128,000 $2,772,000 Sign on $1,500,000 $ 900,000 Yr 1 Raise $7,530,000 $4,045,000 Yr 1 Benefits $1,393,050 $ 748,325 $20,551,050 $8,465,325 FY 24 Total $29,016,375 FY25 General Special Retention Sign on $1,500,000 $ 900,000 Yr 2 Raise $3,765,000 $2,022,500 Yr 2 Benefits $ 696,525 $ 374,163 $5,961,525 $3,296,663 FY 25 Total $9,258,188 FY26 General Special Retention Sign on $1,500,000 $ 900,000 Yr 1 Raise $3,765,000 $2,022,500 Yr 1 Benefits $ 696,525 $ 374,163 $5,961,525 $3,296,663 FY 26 Total $9,258,188
