DEPT. FirelHR
FIRE MARSHAL; AMEND THE MANAGEMENT SALARY
ESTABLISH NEW MANAGEMENT CLASSIFICATION OF
STRUCTURE AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
ATTy, &?
CITY MGR
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2002-177 to establish the new classification and salary of Fire
Marshal; and to amend the Management Salary Structure and Conflict of Interest Code.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
As a result of the recent retirement of the Fire Division Chief who also served as the Fire
Marshal, the Fire Department took the opportunity to reorganize the duties and
responsibilities of this position. Based on their current need, the Fire Department
recommends that a new classification of Fire Marshal be established dedicated to
managing the Fire Protection Services Bureau. Human Resources has developed the
attached classification description (Exhibit 1) and submits it for Council’s consideration
for approval to add to the Management Salary Structure.
The Fire Protection Services Bureau responsibility includes the inspection, plan review,
enforcement, investigation, public education and related programs relative to fire
protection services. The proposed Fire Marshal will be the division manager supervising
three Deputy Fire Marshals and several part-time staff in these activities. This position
will also be a member of the Fire Department management team and is “at will.”
Based on a salary survey of similar positions in the market, Human Resources
recommends the Fire Marshal be placed in grade 6 of the Management Salary Structure,
minimum $72,400 market range: $83,200 - $105,000 annually. This pay level is
comparable to the current Fire Battalion Chief. In addition, the Fire Marshal is
recommended to be included in the safety retirement PERS plan commensurate with the
safety requirements of this position.
It is also recommended that the Conflict of Interest Code be amended to reflect the above
change.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This position will be funded by the downgrade of the current vacant Fire Division Chief
position. There will be a cost savings of approximately $15,000 annually.
