Personnel
From: Allen Parker M/CC Meeting Date: 10/21/2013
Prepared by: Linda Wynn, (909) 384-5161
Dept: Human Resources Ward(s): All
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Authorizing the
Reclassification of One (1) Fire Prevention Technician to Fire Prevention Officer Within the Fire
Department. (#2727)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
Funds will need to be transferred from account number 001-200-0047-5111 (General Fund) to
account number 001-200-0047-5011 (General Fund) in the amount of$13,700 (rounded) to
offset the difference in cost for the Fire Prevention Officer position.
Motion: Adopt the Resolution.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
On October 10, 2013, the Personnel Committee Chairman recommended that the proposed item
be forwarded to the Mayor and Common Council for adoption.
Background:
Duties of the Fire Prevention Technicians are restricted to providing inspections and
examinations of multi-family residential properties only. With decreased staffing department-
wide and within the Fire Prevention Bureau, it is hereby requested that the vacant, funded, Fire
Prevention Technician position be reclassified to Fire Prevention Officer to enable the
department to meet the demands for new construction and other inspections within the City.
ANALYSIS
Fire Prevention Technician is distinguished from Fire Prevention Officer in that incumbents in
the latter class hold peace officer status and are responsible for a broader range of inspection and
enforcement activities for public buildings and other buildings of public assembly.
During the final fiscal yr. 12/13 all billing for the commercial inspection program was stopped in
the final 4 months of the year due to lack of staffing within the Fire Prevention Bureau. With
retirements, departures, and reduced staffing levels our obligation to inspect and bill ceased. In
2010-11 we had a total of five Fire Prevention Officers; four of which were assigned to the
Commercial program the other was assigned to the Multi-family program. In 2012-13, it
decreased to three Fire Prevention Officers, with two assigned to the Commercial Inspection
Program and the other assigned to the Multi-Family program.
Our current staffing levels are below what is needed to maintain the required inspections as

j
stated in our City Municipal Code Res. 09-122 and the California Fire Code mandated
inspections.
In 2010-11 the Fire Prevention Bureau generated a total of$1,182,856.52. Last fiscal yearl2/13
the Fire Prevention Bureau generated a total of$1,004,880.70, without the four months of billing
which equate to approximately $122,000. In 2010-11 we generated $177,975.82 more than in
2012/13 due to increased staffing levels in prior years.
With the reclassification we can again resume to inspecting and billing all required buildings and
occupancies within the city and generate what fees were not collected in the past year which
equate to approximately$122,000.
