To ensure the Department's progress toward this mission, the following shall apply: (a) Upon passage of this measure, the City shall maintain a budgeted level of no fewer than seven hundred (700) sworn police personnel (including those sworn police personnel funded by this Ordinance) at all times, and shall hire and maintain no fewer than 700 sworn police personnel as early as practicable after the passage of this Ordinance and at all times after July 1, 2016. (b) The City is prohibited from laying off any police officers if such layoffs will result in a reduction of sworn personnel to a level of less than 800. Furthermore, the City is prohibited from laying off any police officers unless the City Council adopts a resolution containing factual findings that it is necessary to layoff officers in order to avoid causing more harm to the City's residents and businesses than will be caused by such layoffs.

The hiring plan will make use of assumptions that department attrition rates, recruiting success, academy yield and other relevant factors affecting the growth or shrinkage of the department will be comparable to the past two to four years' experience. (d) The City shall be prohibited from collecting the taxes provided for in this Ordinance at any time that it has failed to budget for a minimum of 700 sworn police personnel, and at any time after July 1, 2016, that it has failed to hire and maintain a minimum of 700 sworn police personnel, with the exceptions listed below. If the City fails to budget the requisite number, the prohibition will apply to the fiscal year of that budget. If the City fails to meet the maintenance number, the prohibition will apply to the fiscal year following 90 days from this determination. The City has 90 days to declare any of the following exceptions: i. If grant funding or other non-General Purpose Fund funding budgeted for sworn police personnel in FY 2014-2015 budget becomes unavailable after that fiscal year, the numeric requirements for budgeting and maintaining sworn police personnel shall be reduced by the number of sworn police personnel previously funded by such lost revenue source.
