RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Resolution No. 2021/5, approving the side letter agreement between the Contra Costa County Fire District and the International Association of Firefighters, Local 1230 (IAFF, Local 1230) amending the parties' Memorandum of Understanding to allow supervisors of the Fire Control Worker Program to receive a temporary staff assignment differential, effective June 1, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Employees in this temporary assignment will be eligible to receive a pay differential of fifteen percent (15%) of their base pay for the applicable 40-hour work week. Actual cost will vary by use/assignment.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire District established its Fire Control Worker Program in 2020. Under immediate supervision, the program utilizes Fire Control Worker employees to perform a variety of fire hazard mitigation activities. Such activities include identifying and eliminating fire hazards, educating the public, and responding to vegetation fires. Section 5.18 currently lists which classifications may provide the necessary supervision for the program. While serving in this temporary capacity, the expanded temporary assignment differential will provide these classifications with a fifteen percent (15%) differential in recognition of this responsibility.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the side letter is not approved, the MOU's temporary assignment differential will not be made available to supervisors of the District's Fire Control Worker Program.
