• Reduce the Executive Assistant to .6. The Executive Assistant will be an employee of the SBMFD (dba FFD) and may be a responder if so desired. • This program nearly doubles available full-time day staff • Long range, remodel Fire Station 2 and base SBMFD (dba FFD) full-time employees which will result in two Fire Stations fully staffed M -F. • Full-time position titles will be: Division Chief, Support Services Supervisor, Training Officer, Community Risk Reduction Coordinator and Records Technician. City Responder Program Following the resounding long term success of the SBMFD/Blaine City Responder program, a major part of the proposal is to create a City Responder Program using City of Fridley full-time employees. Based on a Blaine City Responder ratio of 1:6500, the City of Fridley would need to have approximately 5 City Responders on staff. This program is especially feasible in the very near future with the opening of the new FFD Station 1, which is co -located with many other divisions within the new Civic Complex. Ideally, those making up the City Responder Group will be personnel who are involved in inspections of some type, however, other positions who desire to participate in the program would be welcome to participate. Major points of the City Responder program: • Job descriptions modified to include first job responsibility to be firefighting, rescue and EMS response. • Being able to perform firefighting duties becomes a condition of employment • Any positions part of the City Responder program, should participate in the PERA P&F Plan • When responding to emergencies, City Responders fall under the authority of the SBMFD • Normal duties, City Responders fall under the authority of the City of Fridley and are City of Fridley employees • Any overtime costs and workers comp claims will be handled by the City of Fridley • Council Resolution(s) may be needed to designate positions as those participating in the City Responder Program. • Personal Protective Gear will be provided by SBMFD, funding provided in the annual FFD operations budget. • City Responders must participate in weekly training and maintain/obtain EMR/EMT certifications as well as all other SBMFD requirements. 111Pge
