Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends the establishment of fire,safety employee stand-by
rate and the amendment of the Personnel Rules and Regulations.
As it stands Section 14 provides compensation for night time stand-by
only'. -With minimum manning of three (3) men_at Station 2, for a
pumper and an ambulance, during vacation time and when men are -off, sick,
injured, etc., there will be times when the Fire•Department will need
one (1) or more personnel on stand --by up to'24 hours or a complete shift.
This will occur frequently if the City decides to have the Fire Department
provide ambulance service for the entire city.
"Time and one-half" as pertaining to rate of !,)ay and "extended time" .�
are inclusions by prior amendment.

7-roan: Carlsbad ^ire fighters Association
Subject: Standby Pay
Mr. Baldwin;
The proposal of ?.00 per twentyfour standby as presented
to us in our meeting of November 17th 1972 has been dis-
cussed by our Association.
The Carlsbad -Firefighters Association feels that t.:e an-
bularce service will be a vital and necessary £unction of
of our department. Our members have willingly accepted tine
additional traininn and responsibility that will be noc-
essary to perform the service with skill and efficiency.
It appoars that because of the nature of the se, rice (24
hours 7 days per week) and the number o' noalieied personnel
available, each of our members will be required to be
placed on standby at least twice each month. This means
that we rust add at least LA hours more to the tine already
devoted to our occupation. As we already spend more time
at our jobs than other city employees (63 bows per creek.)
this will be placing an additional burden on oixr rrnmbers..
As many of us are goin(r to school off shift there will 'e
tae added inconvenience of havin¢ to rrn're "trades" in
order that someone will lie a callable for call.
The required standby is of an emergency nat)lre, and the
person respondann must be a trained and ex?erioncod in-
div L dual . At t?5.00 per twenty four hoitr s tnndby it amounts
to less than 2 hours it * ):on f , gay. This nq-r)ly
so,- is Pn'r cO or.ly i'or th-p ^on7j^niortce. Tt �r�,zld bA
s€1nilar to as'sin- a police t- ' n,,r or of nor J,r 111n,jr nnr

The Association also feels that tie number of calls per
year has been underestimated, and twat the standby time
will be *more of a b'�rden than xnticinated.
The Carlsbad PirefiLters Association is therefore requesting
a minimum figure of $10.00 per twentyfour hour standby.
We do not feel this to be unreasonable under the circumstances.
