Date: December 12, 2014
Subject: 2015 and 2016 Paid-on-Call Firefighter Pay Plan
As part of the 2015 and 2016 budget process the Fire Department submitted a budget addition
recommending changes to the Paid-on-Cafl Firefighter pay plan. They are recommending a
2% COLA in both 2015 and 2016. The City Council adopted the 2015 budget at its last
meeting with these increases included. Staff believes that both the internal and external
markets support these increases. The 2014 external market average about $12.78 per hour.
We are currently at $13.00 per hour. Our wage goal is to be close to average of the external
- - market. These increases will achieve that goal as there will also be upward wage adjustments - -
for external comparisons.
The estimated costs of these increases are: ,
$10,100 in 2015
$10,300 in 2016
Action
Staff is recommending Council adopt the attached Resolution updating the Paid-on-Call
Firefighter Pay Plan for 2015 and 2016.
