If possible, without disruption of ordinary police services or compromise of public safety, regularly scheduled on-duty personnel will police the event. If additional police protection for the event is deemed necessary by the chief of police upon consideration of the factors set forth in subsection (c), he shall so inform the applicant for the permit. The applicant must then pay for the additional police services at the established formula rates. The stablished formula rate for regular on-duty officers is regular salary, plus regular fringe benefits, plus regular worker compensation. The established formula rate for overtime officers is overtime salary, plus overtime fringe benefits, plus overtime worker compensation. All formula salary and fringe benefit rates are established at the ten-year rate for each officer's rank, as found in the current city police federation agreement plus the current worker compensation rates for the police department.
