CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Reclassification of two (2) positions in the Fire Department.
BACKGROUND
The Fire Department seeks the reclassification of two (2) essential non-safety positions, which
are as follows:
. Dispatch Supervisor to Fire Communications Manager
. Equipment Mechanic I to Equipment Mechanic II
DisDatch SUDervisor
The Dispatch Supervisor classification has historically been utilized by both the Fire and Police
Departments. Over the past few years, the Fire Dispatch Supervisor position has evolved to
include duties and responsibilities similar to those of the Police Communications Manager.
Specifically, the incumbent is responsible for all work and training issues for Fire Dispatch
personnel, conducts evaluations, handles disciplinary issues, and interfaces with the union. The
Dispatch Supervisor ensures work quality and adherence to established policies and procedures
within the Fire Dispatch Division by developing appropriate training. The Dispatch Supervisor
is responsible for computer-aided dispatch system, Emergency Medical Dispatching and
maintaining associated interface with San Bernardino County Medical Authority, ambulance
transportation (AMR) and area hospitals. The Fire Dispatch Supervisor reports directly to a
Battalion Chief.
As a result of this increase in duties and in order to ensure that title reflects unique requirements
of the Fire Department, staffis recommending a change in title to Fire Communications Manager
which is appropriate to the duties administered by the incumbent. The recommended salary
range of $3,606 - $4,383 will keep the new classification of Fire Communications Manager
approximately five percent (5%) below the Police Communications Manager, which is
appropriate given the fewer number of employees supervised in the Fire Department.
ElIuiDment Mechanic I
Currently, there is one (1) Equipment Mechanic I position and two (2) Equipment Mechanic II
positions within the Vehicle Maintenance section of the Fire Department. The Equipment
Mechanic I position can perform very limited work on heavy-duty vehicles due to the position
classification. An Equipment Mechanic I is primarily able to work on small equipment such as
chain saws and passenger vehicles. Reclassifying one (1) vacant Equipment Mechanic I to an
Equipment Mechanic II will allow much more flexibility in assignment of repair work of the
heavy vehicles. In addition, the Shop Supervisor will be able to depend on three (3) mechanics
rather than two (2) mechanics for off-hour emergency road repair call outs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Reclassifying one (1) Dispatch Supervisor, Range 2402, $3,296 - $4,OO7/month to one (1) Fire
Communications Manager, Range 2420, $3,606 - $4,383/month:
