. CI~Y OF SAN BEr JARDINO - REQUESl FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
In December of 1988, when the final action was taken to allow the collection of
fire inspection fees, the question of the status of the Fire Inspectors (safety
vs nonsafety) occurred and it was decided to put the hiring of additional Inspectors
on hold. Legislation passed in October, 1989, clarified that employees hired
after that date, whose principal duties were providing fire prevention service,
were covered under an optional provision. This provision states that agencies
contracting with PERS may elect to include the employees described above as safety
members, but it is not mandatory. These new employees wi 11 be hi red as general,
not safety.
These positions were not budgeted. However, the two vacant positions which occurred
(one in October and one in December) are accruing salary savings. It will take
about sixty days to establish a list. The total salary savings of $36,000 will
more than offset the salaries of the new employees, which will be $9,000. The
90/91 budget will have the additional positions and will show the revenue to fund
them.
