CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3G <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Karissa Bartholomew, Human Resources Manager <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: November 13, 2018 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Appointment of Paid On-Call Firefighter <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The Council is being asked to approve the appointment of Mr. Lucas Evens for a Paid On-Call <br />Firefighter position at Fire Station 2. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Currently, the City has 10 firefighters at Fire Station 1 and 12 firefighters and Fire Station 2. A <br />total count of 20 firefighters per station is considered fully staffed. At this time, staff has gone <br />through a recruitment process, provided a conditional offer, and is recommending the approval <br />of Lucas Evens for a Paid On-Call Firefighter position. More interviews are also taking place at <br />this time to get closer to fully staffed. <br /> <br />Mr. Evens does not have a background in firefighting, but has been trained in CPR and first aid, <br />is eager to join the team, and will undergo all necessary training to become a firefighter. <br /> <br />The hourly rate of pay would be $9.50 for pre-service training and would increase to $10.50 <br />following the completion of all necessary training. With the Council’s approval, Evens would <br />start in the position of Paid On-Call Firefighter following November 14, 2018. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Approve the appointment of Lucas Evens for a Paid On-Call Firefighter position at Fire Station 2. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
