APPENDIX C <br /> <br />Elk River Fire Department Members <br />December 18, 1997 <br />Re: Educational Incentive Pay <br /> <br />The Task Force members met with the Fire Chief on Tuesday December 9, <br />1997 to define the hours to be utilized for the Educational incentive pay. <br />There were discussions held in reference to the variety of tr_aining available <br />to the Fire Department members. The objective in defining the trsining for <br />the educational incentive pay was to be fair and consistent to all, whether <br />they be present or future Firefighters. The intention of the Educational <br />Incentive Pay is to reward the Fixefighters that obtain training beyond the <br />required Fire Department minimums. <br /> <br />Following is the list defining the Educational Incentive Pay hours that the <br />Task Force has developed: <br /> <br />Inclusions <br /> All related Fire School training that issues a certificate of completion. <br /> These Fire Schools can be the Vocational, College, State or National. As <br /> long as the training is Fire Fighting related and comes with some form of <br /> completion certificate it can qualify. This is a broad based inclusion <br /> statement that could require course descriptions to be reviewed before <br /> accepting them into the incentive pay. <br /> <br />Exceptions <br /> Inspection related classes will be allowed, but with a maximum of 40 <br /> hours credit towards the incentive pay. This ceiling was established at <br /> the same hours available through the current State Fire school courses <br /> de~ling with fire inspections. This is also the training hours for a Fire <br /> Inspector I. <br /> <br />Exclusions <br /> 1) Any Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) related training. <br /> 2) Required minimum trsining as directed by Minnesota OSHA, State, <br /> Federal, and the Elk River Fire Department. Example of these <br /> minimums would be: Firefighter 1403 Basic Firefighter I &II (or <br /> NFPA 1001), First Responder, Hazardous Materials, and the monthly <br /> Fire Department drills. The monthly drill trsining topics adhere to <br /> the required minimums for the yearly trsining. <br /> 3) Voluntary participation in Mutual Aid training opportunities with <br /> surrounding Cities. <br /> 4) Live trsinlng burns. <br /> <br />54 <br /> <br /> <br />
