RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25832 adding eighteen (18) Firefighter-Paramedic 40 Hour (RPWE) (represented) positions at Salary Plan and Grade 4N5 1691 ($7,977.44 - $10,690.53) in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The anticipated cost of adding 18 Firefighter-Paramedic positions during the current fiscal year is approximately $783,900, of which approximately $245,140 is attributed to retirement costs. Adding entry level positions allows the District to conduct an academy. However, prior to reopening a fire station and adding a crew in East Contra Costa (see Background), the District will need to reorganize these positions into six firefighters, six fire engineers, and six fire captains. The source of funding for academy positions is the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District General Operating Fund. The District will continue to monitor the District Operating Fund budget and will return to the Board of Directors if additonal appropriations are needed.
