ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council , ~t~,I } <br />Lori Johnson, Asst. City Administrator <br />Finance Director <br /> <br />October 22, 1997 <br /> <br />Fire Compensation Proposal <br /> <br />The Fire Compensation Task Force has met two times recently to discuss firefighter <br />compensation (excluding the pension benefit). At the September 30 meeting, the <br />Mayor presented his compensation proposal. At the October 14 meeting, the <br />Firefighters on the Task Force presented additional information to support their <br />August 1995 compensation proposal and discussed the differences in the two <br />proposals. <br /> <br />The Mayor will be prepared to discuss this issue with the City Council on Monday. <br />So that you may familiarize yourself with this issue prior to Monday's meeting, <br />attached are copies of the proposals and other backup materials that that have been <br />presented at the last two meetings including: <br /> <br />· Mayor's September 30, 1997, Compensation Proposal <br />· Firefighter's August 9, 1995, Compensation Proposal <br />· Comparison of the two proposals (prepared by the Firefighters) <br />· A chart showing the yearly total hours offirefighter service from 1981 <br /> through September 1997 with a breakdown of emergency versus non- <br /> emergency hours for the years 1992 through 1997 <br />· A chart showing the pension benefit per year of service and the city <br /> contribution to the Relief Association in terms of dollars per year per <br /> firefighter <br />· A memo from Bruce West regarding the types of training needed in order <br /> to meet minimum State and Federal requirements. The first six items are <br /> classes that probationary firefighters must take prior to the end of <br /> probation. The next thirteen items are required annually for all <br /> firefighters. Many times these requirements are met through in-house <br /> training. As the Mayor will discuss on Monday, the mandatory training, <br /> and possibly other ambulance related training, would not qualify as <br /> eligible hours under the training and education incentive pay. <br /> <br />If you have any questions on any of this information prior to Monday's meeting, feel <br />free to contact either the Mayor or me to discuss this issue. <br /> <br />\\e]kriver\sys\shrdoc\councilXfdcomp.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
