After the increase at the beginning of the fifteenth year, no additional step increase will be received through retirement. CAREER SERVICE BOARD RECOMMENDATION On the question of the senior patrol pay, the Board finds that the evidence presented does not justify the establishment of the senior patrol pay. The record reflects that the wages and benefits of Englewood Patrol Officers are roughly comparable to the wages and benefits available to police officers in comparable municipalities. -l - Furthermore, given the City's pessimistic financial outlook, it would be inappropriate to adopt the senior patrol p ro posal which essentially increases the maximum pay for Englewo0d Polic e Officers an additional 8.0 percent over curr~nt levels. The eviden~e simply does not warra nt any increase that substantial to address the concerns identified by the Association.
