SALARY SCHEDULE TO ADEQUATELY COMPENSATE
ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION CHIEFS FOR ASSUMING
ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
WHEREAS, it continues to be to be difficult to recruit and retain the classification
of Division Chiefs in the Alameda Fire Department due to the increased responsibility
and loss of overtime; and
WHEREAS, it is also difficult to recruit and retain Division Chiefs interested in
assuming higher level administrative responsibilities including overseeing their peers or
other Division Chiefs assigned to suppression; and
WHEREAS, the City of Alameda Human Resources Director and representatives
of the Alameda Fire Chiefs Association (AFCA) have met and conferred over this
proposed change to the agreement and Salary Schedule; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that an additional5% compensation would more
adequately compensate Division Chiefs assigned as the Deputy Fire Chief or working
an administrative assignment, exclusive of the Deputy Fire Chief assignment, and
having responsibility for one or more of the Fire Department's divisions; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that Division Chiefs assigned to administrative
assignments receive pay for 13 holidays rather than the 5% Holiday-in-Lieu pay
differential because they are not schedule nor required to work City holidays.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Alameda that the agreement and salary schedule of the Alameda Fire Chiefs
Association is hereby amended effective February 17, 2019 to eliminate Holiday in Lieu
