City Council Staff Report
Report Type: Consent Calendar Meeting Date: 9/24/2012
Summary Title: Resolution Amending IAFF Fire Chiefs’ Association MOA to
implement EMS Coordinator reclassification
Title: Adoption of Resolution Amending 2012-2014 Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) with the Fire Chiefs’ Association (FCA) to Change the Title
and Salary of One Position
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Human Resources
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolution amending the 2012-2014
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Fire Chiefs’ Association (FCA) to retitle the
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Coordinator classification to EMS Director and to increase
the control point of the Emergency Medical Services Director.
Discussion
During the collective bargaining process with FCA in FY 2012, the Association and City discussed
the classification and salary for the Emergency Medical Services Coordinator classification (Job
Code 689). At that time the Emergency Medical Services Utilization consultant study was in
process. The Human Resources (HR) Department conducted a job analysis of the EMS
Coordinator position and provided a copy of the findings to the FCA. The City and the FCA met
and conferred in good faith and reviewed the HR findings as well as the consultant study. The
parties reached agreement to retitle the EMS Coordinator classification to EMS Director with a
control point change from $105,000 to $137,000. This change is retroactive to July 1, 2012.
Resource Impact
The Fiscal Year 2013 operating budget included funding for the EMS Manager at a higher level
in anticipation of this reclassification. The new salary for the EMS Director is within the amount
budgeted for 2013.
Policy Implications
The action recommended by this report is consistent with City policies which require Council
approval of employee salaries and listing of positions in Memorandum of Agreement.
Environmental Review
This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
