FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§57.010 & 57.530 – Sheriff of the City of St. Louis
Officials from the Sheriff’s Retirement System assume the impact is unknown at this time. The
sheriff department identified in this legislation is part of the retirement system and benefits are
determined based on the salary. This legislation sets the minimum salary for the sheriff not the
maximum. Once the salary is known, an impact could be calculated.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the
unknown estimate as provided by the Sheriff’s Retirement System.
Officials from the Department of Public Safety (Office of the Director) and the Office of the
Secretary of State
organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight
will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.
In response to similar legislation from 2024, Perfected SB 1363, officials from the City of St.
Louis assumed this proposal would fix the compensation for Sheriff's deputies within the City of
St. Louis to be no less than $50,000 annually. Based on the number of deputies and salaries
included in the FY24 budget this would increase costs of the Sheriff's department by an
estimated $2.0M per year including pay and benefits. The FY24 budget for the Sheriff authorizes
170 total positions. Of this total there are budgeted 151 deputies with an average salary of
$39,333. The differential between this average salary and the $50,000 is $10,667. Multiply this
amount by the 151 positions and the total increase in salaries would amount to $1.6M. Adding
fringe benefits (social security, life insurance, pension, etc.) would bring total costs to just over
$2M per year.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the
estimates as provided by the City of St. Louis.
