RESOLUTION: SETTING COMPENSATION & REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR FIRE
OFFICER & ENGINEERS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of: Resolution Setting Compensation Rates for Fire Officer &
Engineers.
Overview
The City has determined that a nominal fee should be paid to Fire Department Officers and
Engineers to defray the costs of fulfilling these duties and responsibilities.
Passage of this resolution will better help offset costs incurred by our fire officer and engineers
for attending additional training and fulfilling those responsibilities for the positions that are
held.
The proposed fire officer or engineer compensation proposed for 2016 are consistent with fire
department pay practices found in other cities. There is no increase for firefighter call or training
pay proposed for 2016.
Staff recommends adoption of this resolution.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Proposed pay rate increase was approved in the 2016 budget.
Supporting Information
• Comparison between 2013 rates & proposed 2016 rates.
