CI~Y ~F SAN BERNA4mINO - REQUEST FcQ COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
In an attempt to reorganize the Fire Department, staff is
recommending a reduction of three (3) Battalion Chief Aide
positions to be replaced with four (4) civilian positions.
This will result in a savings of $36,450.00 annually and
increase needed administrative staff.
One of the first steps is to add a Storekeepers position.
Part of the responsibilities of the Battalion Chief Aide was
to deliver mail, equipment and supplies to fire stations and
other city facilities which would become the responsibility of
the Storekeeper. The Storekeeper would also be responsible
for maintaining inventories of tools, equipment and supplies
for the eleven fire stations. In addition, the Storekeeper
would be responsible for automotive parts delivery and
pick-up.
In conclusion, it is more cost effective to replace the three
(3) Battalion Chief's Aides with civilians which are less
expensive. For example, the annual salary and benefits of a
Battalion Chief's Aide is '57,697.00 while a Storekeeper's
annual salary and benefits total '30,701.00. The savings that
will be recognized at the completion of the total
reorganization will be an annual savings of $36,450.00 while
resulting in a more efficient use of safety and civilian
personnel.
