RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22264 to establish the classification of Fire District Aide-Exempt (RBW1) at salary plan and grade F85 0288 ($1,906 - $2,317) in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, the fiscal impact of establishing this classification will be negligible. The Fire District already has a cadre of Student Interns assigned to various divisions. Some of the Fire District's current cadre of Student Interns will be replaced by Fire District Aides. It is not anticipated that this transition will have a meaningful impact on temporary wages.

BACKGROUND:

The Human Resources Department recommends creation of Fire District Aide-Exempt pursuant to Administrative Bulletin 430.1.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Creation of the Fire District Aide-Exempt classification is necessary to accomplish time-limited non-professional work in the Fire District under direct supervision. This classification is distinguished from the class of Student Intern in that the latter requires current enrollment in Fire/EMS related college courses or possession of a degree and limits incumbents to working 20 hours per week. The establishment of this classification will give the Fire District the flexibility to hire temporary/seasonal workers during fire season, weed abatement season, Firefighter Recruit academies, and for additional logistics and administrative support as needed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Fire District will not have the flexibility to hire temporary/seasonal workers as needed.
