RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22335 to add one (1) Fire Inspector I (RJWJ) (represented) position at salary plan and grade 4N5 1528 ($5,975-$8,007) and cancel one (1) Fire Inspector II (RJVB) (represented) position 5281 at salary plan and grade 4N5 1793 ($7,771-$10,414) in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will result in cost savings of approximately $117,000 in the first year, including an estimated $68,300 in employer retirement 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 non-safety related code enforcement, plans review, inspections of non-hazardous occupancies, public education, and other related duties.

The classification was established to allow the Contra Costa County Fire Protection 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 District will have a higher-level safety position performing lower level non-safety work functions such as code enforcement, plan review, inspections of non-hazardous occupancies, and public education.
