MEETING DATE: June 23, 2014
TOPIC: Approval of Resolution 14-62, Establishing an Incentive Program
for the Recruitment of Paid On -Call Fire Personnel
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The Council is being asked to approve an incentive program for the recruitment of new and
experienced fire personnel within the identified timeframe.
BACKGROUND
During the Council Meeting on June 2, 2014, Council approved Resolution 14-50, which
directed staff to integrate fire services for the City of Lino Lakes into the Public Safety
Department.
Based on the two-year withdrawal period prescribed in the Centennial Fire District Joint
Powers Agreement, fire services in Lino Lakes must be operational on January 28, 2016.
Given the short timeframe and present challenge of recruiting paid on-call fire personnel, staff
has developed an incentive program to attract high quality experienced fire personnel, as well
as individuals with no prior fire experience.
The tables below show three incentive levels. Level 1 is designed to recruit experienced fire
personnel. Level 2 is designed to recruit experienced fire command personnel. Level 3 is
designed to recruit individuals with no prior fire experience.
