COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Fire> P.-3 t t a 1, os I t 1 r
MEETING DATE: S e p t e rn ty F-- r '2 -41
PREPPRED BY: Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council approval of a mot inn to
authorize the city Manager tc) Pay Fire Fla ttzil ,On Chief-, and
Fire Administrative Officer. for standby time, worked to
cover the frozen Battalion Chiefs post tion for the period of
October 1, 1992 through the first pay period in April 1993.
Payment for such time to be at a rate of 45% of hOLIrS served
on standby.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In an effort to offset the loss of
revenues suffered by the C-ity, as a result of the State budget
crisis we plan on freezing one Battalion Chiefs position for-
d period of six mor, th5. Since the Battalion Chief is the
shift supervisor who responds to emergencies it is necessary
to have someone available to fill the needs of the position
on a 24 hour basis. To accomplish this the Fire Department
plans on filling the position with a 40 hour Fire
Administrative Of ficer from 8 AM until 5 PM on the weekdays
and having Battalion Chiefs and Fire Administrative Officers
perform standby from 5 PM until a AM on weekdays and from 9
AM until 8 Am the following day on weekends. With the
approval of the proposed motion the person performing the
standby would receive pay for 45% of the hours worked in
standby. These hours will be hours worked in excess of their
normal work week, which is 40 hours for Fire Administrative
Officers and 56 hours for Battalion Chiefs.
FUNDING: A 1992 - 1993 budqet savings of 9 34,724.00 will
result from this proposal.
