New Pay Structure Makes Phoenix Police Officers Highest Paid Arizona Law Enforcement Agencyhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/2377Police6/16/2022 3:00:00 AMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2377/Newsroom_Police_Recuit.jpgNew Pay Structure Makes Phoenix Police Officers Highest Paid Arizona Law Enforcement Agency<div class="ExternalClass016EFA45DC68455799EAAB208305C6F0"><html> <p><strong>June 15 Update: </strong>The Phoenix City Council passed the proposed pay ordinance as outlined in this PHX Newsroom story.<br></p><p><strong>​Original Story: </strong>​Under a new plan to be presented to the Mayor and City Council for approval, Phoenix Police Department salaries would become competitive with other public safety agencies in the market. The goal is to improve officer retention and aid recruitment to address the current shortage of sworn law enforcement officers in Phoenix. <br><br>The proposed compensation restructure is designed to be a market leader at the recruit level and at all sworn ranks. It would allow the city to start recruits at a higher rate ($68,661 compared to the current $48,942). By similarly streamlining the system of starting salaries and pay grade steps from recruits to assistant chiefs, officers will have increased earning capacity throughout their careers. Currently our police recruit position is approximately 7% below the market average; this plan would bring salary ranges approximately 10% higher than any other law enforcement agency in the state.<br><br>“Our goal in Phoenix is to be a world class city, and that means using the tools necessary to build a world class police department. In other words, to hire the best, we need to pay the best," said Mayor Kate Gallego. “As we attract these top-notch officers, we must also expect the very highest level of accountability to meet the expectations of our community."<br><br>If approved, the plan will provide all sworn Phoenix Police Officers with greater earning potential, while also ensuring that no officer experiences a decrease in pay when transitioning to the new pay structure. <br><br>“This not only increases both the starting and maximum salaries, it also simplifies the pay structure, rewarding those who choose this noble profession," Public Safety and Justice Subcommittee Chairwoman Ann O'Brien said. “Phoenix is the largest city in the state, and our officers should see a salary structure which reflects that. With this change, our officers and recruits will be some of the highest paid in the state." <br><br>The salary restructure comes as the result of an assessment the City began last year of its employee pay structures. While the study is still not fully complete, it found that the sworn police pay structure needed to be adjusted to not only make the City competitive but to attract the most qualified candidates for the difficult work required of police officers. <br><br>The City has completed similar assessments for other employment classifications that resulted in pay grade changes over the last year. <br><br>The enhanced police pay structure must be approved by the Phoenix City Council during its Wednesday meeting. The proposal would take effect August 8. The increases associated with the restructured compensation package will be absorbed by the current City budget. <br></p> </html></div>https://phoenix.gov/policeNewspolicePhoenix Police OfficersPolice@phoenixpolicePhoenix Police jobs, Police Officer jobs, Law Enforcement Jobs, Police Salaries, Police Recruitment, Arizona Law EnforcementDan Wilson602-760-6660602-495-5901daniel.b.wilson@phoenix.gov https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/MediaContact/Attachments/44/Dan_Wilson.jpgPhoenixPoliceA proposed compensation restructure is designed to be a market leader at the recruit level and at all sworn ranks.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Opens New Eighth Concourse at Terminal 4https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/aviation/2390Aviation6/17/2022 10:15:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2390/newsroom_aviation_085.jpgPhoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Opens New Eighth Concourse at Terminal 4<div class="ExternalClass3DD912D680D94EAAAFDE303D37EB58A9"><html> <span style="font-size:17.3333px;"> <em>​Phoenix Mayor and Southwest Airlines CEO debut new concourse in Airport's busiest terminal</em> </span> <br style="font-size:17.3333px;"> <br>PHOENIX – Providing customers with world-class service and amenities are goals for America's Friendliest Airport®, and today, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is pleased to showcase the opening of its new eighth concourse. Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, members of the Phoenix City Council, other local leaders, and Southwest Airlines® leaders, arrived to the new concourse on the airline's Arizona One flagship aircraft where they cut a ribbon to debut the concourse. The concourse will be used by Southwest and will offer eight additional gates for the airline.<br> <br><a href="https://www.skyharbor.com/docs/default-source/pdfs/media/eighth-concourse-media-kit.pdf" target="_blank">Please see the media kit about this concourse​</a>.<br><br><img class="" style="margin:5px;width:399px;height:268px;vertical-align:baseline;" src="/aviationsite/MediaAssets/Mayor%20Kate%20Gallego.JPG" />“Phoenix Sky Harbor delivers a $38 billion annual economic impact, and the new concourse is filled with innovations and experiences that travelers will enjoy and remember," said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “The design of the concourse emphasizes technology, sustainability, and accessibility. Phoenix is showcasing its future-forward progress in a way that matches its status as one of the world's busiest airports for passenger traffic."<br><br>“This is our next era in Phoenix, with new gates that bring a greatly improved experience for our Customers and Employees, and gives Southwest room to grow at Sky Harbor," said Bob Jordan, CEO, Southwest Airlines. “Our four-decade partnership with Phoenix continues evolving with larger spaces in the terminal, expanded Maintenance Hangar facility, and strengthening partnerships with local organizations that share our focus on driving economic, environmental, and social impact in Phoenix and across the state."<br> <br>The new, state-of-the-art eight gate concourse is solely occupied by Southwest Airlines. The 275,000 square foot space features a variety of customer amenities, including access to charging stations in every seat, an Animal Relief Area, Family Restroom, Nursing Room, and hearing loop connectivity which will allow those with hearing devices to connect to the PA system.<br> <br>Additionally, the concourse will feature new local shops and restaurants as well as a common use airport lounge. Local favorites Pedal Haus Brewery and Berry Divine – Acai Bowls will be in the new concourse as well as regional concepts like Bobby's Burgers and Eegee's as well as national chain Chick-Fil-A. Sip Coffee & Beer will also provide travelers with a number of local products from concepts such as Native Ground Coffee, Mother Road Brewing and Half Moon Empanadas. <br> <br>The retail shops will introduce not only national brands at the Uptown Phoenix shop and InMotion Entertainment, but also through a partnership, access to local products from Changing Hands Bookstores, Made Art Boutique and Melrose Pharmacy. AD Partnership will also be opening the Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club. It will feature 3,500 square feet of space and provide travelers a specially curated menu with a focus on local items.<br> <br>The shops, restaurants, and lounge will be opening in the coming months, and in the meantime, customers will find food and beverage and retail kiosks.<br> <br><img style="margin:5px;width:494px;" src="/aviationsite/MediaAssets/Art%20by%20Susan%20Logoreci%201.JPG" />The new concourse also showcases the arts. In fact, Phoenix Sky Harbor is no stranger to art -with one of the largest Airport Museum Programs in the country as well as extensive art elements throughout the airport. This new concourse features the 12th terrazzo floor that artists have designed for the Airport's PHX Sky Train® system and terminal enhancements over the past 10 years. The immersive, art project consists of a 30' x 300' terrazzo floor and 28 2' x 3' airplane window shaped, terrazzo wall pieces called “Phoenix Lights, Phoenix Rising" designed by artist Susan Logoreci. The floor depicts aerial views of the Phoenix landscape. The new installation provides travelers to opportunity to pause and enjoy something special before or after their flight.<br> <br>The new concourse, which is applying for LEED Silver Certification, also has a number of sustainable elements. This includes 14,000 square feet of electrochromic glazing throughout the concourse. This intelligent technology provides various levels of tinting depending upon the level of sunlight at any given point during the day and not only helps to keep travelers comfortable, but to improve energy efficiency as well. <br> <br>“We are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and to environmental leadership," said Director of Aviation Services Chad Makovsky. “Sustainability is a focus in all of our operations, and especially with this project. We have diverted 95% of all construction waste from the landfills. A number of features throughout the facility are designed to reduce water use and conserve energy, and we even have incorporated a special ceiling design near the entrance of the concourse made of recycled plastic water bottles."<br> <br>This baffle ceiling called “The Diamondhead" is inspired by the Imperial Sand Dunes west of Yuma and helps to reduce noise levels and provide a quiet, stress-free environment for passengers.<br> <br>McCarthy Construction is the general contractor for the project. Other project enhancements include baggage system upgrades for the concourse as well as a connector bridge from the D concourse to the A concourse and consolidated security exit. This more easily helps passengers get between the north and south concourses post-security in Terminal 4.  The $310 million new Terminal 4 Eighth Concourse was paid for with airport revenue. No tax dollars were used.<br><br>The concourse will welcome its first arriving and departing flights and passengers on Monday, June 20.<br> <br><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"><strong>Quotes from Phoenix City Council</strong></span></div> <br>“I am thrilled to see Sky Harbor continue to develop with the addition of this eighth concourse at Terminal 4, and I am especially proud since airport expansion was a priority for my father, former U.S. Representative Ed Pastor," District 4 Vice Mayor Laura Pastor said. “Dad fought hard in Congress for funds to improve our airport years ago, and I know he would be pleased to see Sky Harbor continue to maintain its status as a worldwide hub for business and leisure travelers today."<br> <br>"Phoenix is fortunate to have a world-class airport that continues to expand and adapt to meet the needs of its customers," District 3 Councilwoman Debra Stark said. "I am excited for the opening of this eighth concourse, and the partnerships with local shops and restaurants that will give visitors a true taste of our great City."<br> <br>“As the fifth largest city in the United States, it is vital that our airport continues to grow to serve the needs of our thriving community," District 5 Councilwoman Betty Guardado said. “I am proud of our Aviation Department staff for all their work in bringing forward today's exciting terminal expansion!" <br> <br>“As the busiest terminal in Sky Harbor, I am pleased to see Terminal 4 get a new concourse to meet the ongoing needs of travelers," District 6 Councilman Sal DiCiccio said. “Plus, filling the space with local restaurants and shops solidifies Sky Harbor's reputation of providing world-class service and amenities, while supporting our local economy." <br> <br>“The eighth and newest concourse at Phoenix Sky Harbor will showcase the best of Phoenix: popular local businesses, national brands, and thoughtful amenities such as an animal relief area and nursing room," District 7 Councilwoman Yassamin Ansari said. “With this addition, our largest economic engine is on track to set new records and will have a great return on investment for our homegrown entrepreneurs and our entire city."<br> <br>Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, America's Friendliest Airport®, has an annual economic impact of more than $38 billion. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 1,200 aircraft and more than 125,000 passengers arrived at and departed from Sky Harbor every day. PHX Sky Harbor is funded with airport revenue. No tax dollars are used to support the airport.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br></html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/aviationNewsCity Council Adopts Transportation Electrification Planhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/environmental-programs/2388Environment & Sustainability6/17/2022 9:45:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2388/newsroom _OEP_01.jpgCity Council Adopts Transportation Electrification Plan<div class="ExternalClass551FB6710FF240A5A81803B2739314A6"><html> <p></p>In a 9-0 vote on Wednesday, June 15, the Phoenix City Council voted to adopt the <a target="_blank" href="/sustainabilitysite/MediaAssets/sustainability/electric-vehicles/Draft%20Transportation%20Electrification%20Action%20Plan.pdf">Transportation Electrification Action Plan</a> (TEAP), which prepares the city for a future filled with more electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and e-mobility equity.<br><br>“We often call it the EV Roadmap because that is exactly what it does – it charts a path for us to get 280,000 EVs on Phoenix roads by the year 2030," said Mayor Kate Gallego. “EVs matter because they are the road to our future."<br><br>There are three, main focus areas to the plan – prioritizing equity, accelerating public adoption of electric vehicles, and the City of Phoenix leading by example. <br><br>On the equity front, the plan requires that at least 40% of the city's investments in transportation electrification be made in underserved communities. It also calls for the launch of a local model of micro-mobility by December of 2024.<br><br>“It is our duty to make sure that Phoenicians have affordable and easy access to the infrastructure needed to power a clean, all-electric future, and this plan puts us on track to do exactly that," said City Councilwoman Yassamin Ansari (Dist. 7). “We realize that there are currently many barriers to EV adoption, especially in low-income and underserved communities. This plan utilizes community input to address their needs."<br><br>Along with helping people move towards the use of EVs, the TEAP also guides homebuilders, developers, business owners, and employers on best practices to provide infrastructure for electric vehicle charging.<br><br>Finally, the plan lays out goals for the City of Phoenix to begin electrifying its own fleets, expand employee charging opportunities, and install at least 500 public charging stations by the year 2030.<br><br><p>“[This is] an ambitious plan, and will have many partners along the way," Gallego said. “The future of mobility is happening now in Phoenix, and we are investing to be top-in-the-nation for a concentration of manufacturers and parts providers that will create quality jobs for our residents."<br></p><p>​</p></html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/oepNewsCity Takes Proactive Safety Steps to Protect Residents as Extreme Summer Heat Hits Phoenix https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/human-services/2387Human Services6/16/2022 11:30:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2387/Newsroom_HumanServices_005.jpgCity Takes Proactive Safety Steps to Protect Residents as Extreme Summer Heat Hits Phoenix <div class="ExternalClassEFE27873431C4C98812036A7AEF3C8D4"><html> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none">The City of Phoenix is proactively working to reverse the trend of increasing heat-related deaths in Maricopa County and save lives this summer by increasing resources dedicated to heat respite. In 2021, there were 338 heat-associated deaths in Maricopa County. Of those, 130 (42%) were among people experiencing homelessness.
