“For me, it’s about making sure that any contact any citizen in this community has with a city worker is as safe as possible,” Kozachik said. “That’s why this isn’t a difficult balance for me. This simply means that when you register as a civil servant, we are mandating that these words have meaning for the public when you come into contact with them. “

The risk paid off for the city, because nine of the 17 main departments had 100% complied with the contract by the end of the notice period. There is also no risk of losing more than 1% of their workforce for any of the other eight departments:

City Courts: 1 non-compliant employee, 1% of the department’s workforce.

Tucson Police Department: 1 employee, 0.1% of the workforce.

Public safety communication: 1 employee, 0.8% of the workforce.

Tucson Fire Department: 1 employee, 0.2% of the workforce.

General Environmental Services Department: 3 employees, 0.9% of the workforce.

Parks and Recreation: 1 employee, 0.5% of the workforce.

Tucson water: 1 employee, 0.2% of the workforce.
