CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO -REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Establishment of salaries for Fire Department Ranges P-5, P-6 & P-7, Fire Marshall &
Training Officer, effective August 1, 2000.
BACKGROUND
Section 186 of the City Charter established a formula for setting salaries for local safety
members, effective August 1 of each year. City staff has reached agreement with Fire
Management Employees on the ten cities whose salaries will be averaged to determine
this year's P-5, (Battalion Chief), P-6 (Deputy Fire Chief), P-7 (Fire Chief), Fire Marshal
and Training Officer salaries for the Fire Department. The cities selected are:
Glendale
Fullerton
Vallejo
Santa Rosa
Costa Mesa
Garden Grove
Rancho Cucamonga
Burbank
West Covina
Orange
The new monthly salaries, effective August 1, 2000, are:
RANGE

P-6 5.23% $456 1 5,472
P-7 1.27% $128 1 1.536
$49,608
-T-
.
Adding 15.7730% to reflect variable fringe benefit costs that rise with salary, the total
added cost for salaries and fringe benefits is $57.400. The total General Fund cost for
all Fire and Police Charter mandated salary adjustments is $1,585,872. The amount
budgeted for these raises was $1,500,000.
Included in the non-department budget was a total of $2,500,000 for salaries. It was
estimated that approximately $1,400,000 would be used for Charter 186 salary
increases, and the remaining balance of $1,100,000 would be used for any additional
negotiation items that came up during the year, implementation of the classification and
compensation study and accrued time payments due to a higher-than-normal number of
employee retirements anticipated for FY 00-01.
Since the Charter 186 salary increases came in higher than anticipated, there will be
only $914,100 remaining in the budget for the other items mentioned above.
Since the City is currently in negotiations with the Safety units to provide 3% @ 55
retirement benefits, it is now estimated that not as many employee retirements will
occur in FY 00-01, as originally anticipated. Therefore, it is estimated the remaining
balance should be sufficient for FY 00-01.
RECOMMENDATION
1. That the salaries for Fire Department Ranges P-5, (Battalion Chief), P-6 (Deputy
Fire Chief), P-7 (Fire Chief), Fire Marshal and Training Officer be established,
effective August 1, 2000, as outlined in the attached Staff Report.
2. That the Human Resources Department prepare an amendment to Resolutions No.
6429.
3. That the Mayor and Common Council authorize the Director of Finance to amend
the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Budget to transfer $57,400 from the General Government
Budget (001-092-5011) to the Fire Department Budget in the General Fund.
