The Fire Prevention Bureau (FPB) provides fire prevention services through comprehensive inspections and code enforcement, plan review and engineering services, public education, fire investigations, and exterior hazard control to ensure properties are properly constructed in accordance with local and state codes. The FPB is supported by a unit of seven (7) full time clerical staff. The clerical team also provides reception and overall administrative support to the District and is currently being supervised by a Fire Prevention Captain.   
  
This request is to cancel a vacant Clerk-Senior Level position and add a Clerical Supervisor, which will be responsible for supervising the unit, drafting and implementing related policies, procedures and guidelines for clerical staff, and providing support and ongoing training to staff. The Clerical Supervisor will also ensure that staff provide timely and appropriate customer service at the reception and during telephone calls. The Clerical Supervisor classification is a more appropriate classification to supervise the unit and will free up the Fire Prevention Captain to focus on supervising newly hired Fire Inspectors, conducting and developing training programs for Fire Inspectors, and performing Fire Investigation Unit duties.
