we heard from the police department there receiving pay raises this year. if the police officers association did not provide as pay raises, those could likely help us avoid the layoffs that department is looking at. right now, the salaries within your department are 20% more than their counterparts in other parts of the bay area. if you attack on overtime and special pay, according to our human-resources director, you are talking about almost a one- third increase compared to counterparts around the bay area, right? how should we think about that? >> i know we had that discussion last week. supervisor chiu: how should we think about that? a fidelity at the police department and asking people to think about not taking their pay raises this year, and as much as we all support our firefighters and want to make sure those services are continuing, our department sees it salaries and benefits one-third higher than the others around the bay? >> just some context -- similar response as i gave you last week in terms of my role was the chief at the department. we want to make sure we have a well-train
