A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE HIRING OF FIREFIGHTERS FROM THE
DISPLACED FIREFIGHTER LIST PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 53270
WHEREAS, the governing body of the City of Lodi has the authority to implement
Government Code Section 53270; and
WHEREAS, Governor Schwarzenegger signed legislation in 2004 (AB 1929, Chapter
No. 126) that enables laid -off state and local government firefighters to be added to an existing hiring
list administered and maintained by the California Fire Fighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee
(CFFJAC) pursuantto Government Code Section 53270; and
WHEREAS, the CFFJAC is a labor-management training partnership co-sponsored by the
State Fire Marshal and the California Professional Firefighters. The CFFJAC currently provides
employment training to more than 6,000 apprentice firefighters in more than 100 fire departments;
and
WHEREAS, the CFFJAC's displaced firefighter hiring list provides a way for those
jurisdictions that are hiring new firefighters to easily access a talent pool of experienced front line
firefighters. The hiring list has allowed fire departments to save time, as well as money with regard
to the hiring process. It also has given firefighters the ability to continue working in their chosen fire
service career; and
WHEREAS, there is no mandate on departments to hire firefighters from the list, as the list is
simply a resource available to agencies to cut down on the amount of time and energy spent
searching for qualified firefighters.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes and
adopts this Resolution for the employment of its firefighters and incorporates provisions of Section
53270 of Government Code, as amended by AB 1929.
