RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21912 to add three (3) Fire Inspector I (RJWA) (represented) positions at salary plan and grade 4N5 1528 ($5,419 - $7,263) and cancel three (3) Fire Inspector II (RJVB) (represented) positions (5284, 5286 and 5289) at salary plan and grade 4N5 1793 ($7,049 - $9,446) in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cost savings of approximately $139,500 annually, including $48,000 in employer pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

The classification of Fire Inspector I is a general (i.e., non-safety) classification established pursuant to Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21427. Incumbents perform code enforcement, plan review, inspections of non-hazardous occupancies, public education, and other related duties.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The classification was established to allow the District to create a cost effective staffing structure by replacing certain vacant Fire Inspector II positions with Fire Inspector I positions when appropriate. Use of the Fire Inspector I classification helps to ensure the District is in compliance with State and local mandates at a lower salary and benefits cost than exclusive use of the Fire Inspector II safety classification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Fire Protection District will have higher level safety positions performing lower level non-safety work functions such as code enforcement, plan review, inspections of non-hazardous occupancies, and public education.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
