Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michel G. Bertrand, Fire Chief
MEETING DATE: November 23, 1999
AGENDA MEMO DATE: November 18, 1999
REQUESTED ACTION: Consider approving creation of three Grade III, Captain positions and
elimination of three Grade I, Firefighter positions.
RECOMMENDATION
Currently, there are 234 classified positions allocated to the Fire Department. Within that total, there
are 42 Grade III, Captain positions and 103 Grade I, Firefighter positions. Approval of this
recommendation would increase the number of Grade III, Captain positions by three and reduce the
number of Grade I, Firefighter positions by three. Consequently, the number of Captain positions
would increase to a total of 45, while the number of Firefighter positions would be reduced to 100.
The initial proposal recommended elimination of three Grade II Driver/Operator positions to offset
the cost of creating the Grade III positions. Further study indicated the necessity of maintaining the
existing Grade II positions due to increased staffing and promotion requirements associated with the
additional station and labor contract agreements. Elimination of the Grade II positions would result
in increased costs associated with additional temporary promotions of Grade I Firefighters to fill the
vacated positions and remove any savings that may be recognized through elimination of the
positions.
BACKGROUND
On October 5, 1999, Council approved a revised alternative recommendation for staffing the new Fire
Station No. 5 located at 6375 Walden Road. Part of the plan was to increase the minimum staffing
level on each shift to 47 from the existing level of 45. It was initially proposed that a reduction in the
number of Grade II positions equal to the number of created Grade III positions occur when each
position is vacated through promotion, retirement, or termination.
Captain/Firefighter Positions
November 18, 1999
Page 2
Operating Fire Station No. 5 requires creation of three Grade III Captain positions, and permanent
assignment of three Grade II and three Grade I positions that are currently relief personnel. Further
study indicated that eliminating the three Grade II positions as originally proposed would ultimately
result in the loss of six Grade H relief personnel that currently fill vacated positions created by illness,
vacation, or other scheduled time off. Additional costs would be incurred with the temporary
promotion of Grade I personnel to fill the vacated Grade II positions. The elimination of the three
Grade II positions would have resulted in two additional Grade I Firefighters being promoted daily
for an average annual cost of approximately $26,000. Elimination of the existing Grade II positions
would have resulted in no cost savings and may ultimately have increased operating costs due to
additional temporary Grade I to Grade II upgrades and double upgrades of Grade I to Grade III.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The creation of the three Grade III Captain positions will require an increase of$12,486 to the
Department budget for increased salaries. In addition, the operation of Station No. 5 will create a
projected increase of approximately $4,000 for temporary upgrade of personnel.
PREVIOUS ACTION
Council unanimously approved the recommended staffing plan on October 5, 1999 for placing a fire
unit temporarily out of service and increasing the minimum staffing level to 47 to provide personnel
for Station No. 5. The plan included creating three Grade III positions, and eliminating three Grade
II positions.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
The complete implementation of the staffing plan will require Council at some future
date to approve approximately $43,000 in additional overtime for the Fire Department budget.
RECOMMENDED BY
City Manager, Executive Assistant to the City Manager and Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Approve/deny a resolution to modify the existing Code of Ordinances Sec. 21-74. Grades and
classifications-Fire Department, to increase the number of Grade III Captain positions to 45 and
decrease the number of Grade I Firefighter positions to 100.
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Ci ty of Beaumont
Fire/Rescue Services
Date: November 18, 1999
To: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager
From: Michel G. Bertrand, Fire Chief !f__5
Subject: Staffing Plan Issues
COMMENTS:
As a continuation of the Alternative Recommendation approved by Council, October 5, 1999, for
staffing Fire Station No. 5, an agenda item was presented to Council, November 16, 1999. The
agenda item was asking Council to consider approving the creation of three Grade III, Captain
positions and subsequently, to eliminate three Grade I, Firefighter positions.
STAFFING PLAN
The Alternative Recommendation staffing plan officially became effective October 27, 1999, when
new Fire Station No. 5 was staffed by fire department personnel. A written staffing plan (see
attached)was formulated and submitted to the Deputy Chiefs (3). It was then discussed thoroughly
in staff meetings with the Deputy Chiefs and the District Chiefs of each shift prior to opening Station
No. 5. The plan outlined the procedure of staffing Fire Station No. 5 according to the Alternative
Recommendation approved by Council, October 5, 1999.
Adjustment to Plan: During these staff meetings, some supervisors anticipated a logistical problem
and proposed a solution to the problem. According to the plan, if it was anticipated that 48 personnel
were scheduled for duty on the oncoming shift, Truck 4 was to be placed out of service. However,
once that shift of duty had begun and a firefighter had to leave (creating an unanticipated staffing
shortage for the balance of the shift), the number of personnel would be reduced to 47. Would the
procedure then be to close down Station 11 and put Truck 4 back in service in the middle of the shift?
The procedure as outlined was cumbersome and would necessitate the movement of several
personnel to cover the position of one.
A recommendation to resolve the problem was made. The recommendation was to offer some
flexibility to the Deputy Chiefs (Shift Supervisors). For this particular example, the Deputy Chief
could remove one(1)person off of Truck I,should numbers of personnel on duty fall from 48 to 47,
after the shift day had already begun. Truck 1 normally has a complement of three personnel and can
be utilized as an Aerial Truck or a Pumper with three people. If one person is removed, it can only
be utilized as an Aerial Truck. It is staffed at Station No. 1, 747 College, a multi-apparatus station.
Consensus was reached on this recommendation and the Deputy Chiefs were authorized to vary from
the Uniform Operating Guideline to address unanticipated staffing shortfalls that occur during the
duty shift.
Staffing Plan Issues
Page 2
However, if the staffing level is anticipated to be 47 personnel on any shift of duty, Station 11 will
be scheduled to close for that shift and its crew assigned to other stations, as outlined by the staffing
policy. This action has served to keep Engine 11 in service more than was originally anticipated in
the Alternative Staffing Plan.
Subsequent Action of Plan Changed: The initial proposal recommended elimination of three Grade
II Driver/Operator positions to offset the cost of creating the Grade III positions. Further study
indicated the necessity of maintaining the existing Grade II positions due to increased staffing and
promotion requirements associated with the additional station and labor contract agreements.
Elimination of the Grade II positions could result in increased costs associated with additional
temporary promotions of Grade I Firefighters to fill the vacated positions and remove any savings
that may be recognized through elimination of the positions.
OVERTIME
Under the Alternative Staffing Plan with a minimum staffing goal of 47 personnel on duty, the
overtime cost is estimated to be $43,000 per year. If the staffing goal were changed to 50 personnel
on duty, the annual cost is estimated to be $190,000 per year. These figures are based on available
historical data indicating the number of times the department was at or below the staffing levels
stated. Since the implementation of the Alternative Staffing Plan, $4,240.50 overtime has been
incurred. Approximately one-fourth of this amount would have been incurred when the minimum
level was at 45 personnel,which was the previous staffing level of the department. Having been under
the new staffing plan for only 21 days and having limited data, it appears the estimated $43,000 per
year of overtime should be a fairly accurate estimate.
ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS
The Suppression Division is allocated 211 firefighters divided into 3 shifts. This averages to 70
personnel per shift. Each day, there are 10 personnel off on Kelly day (FLSA adjustment tool to
maintain a 48 hour work week)and an average of 8 per day on vacation. This reduces the daily level
to 52 personnel. With an average of 2 to 4 off on sick leave and other reasons, daily staffing levels
fluctuate from below 47 up to 52 personnel.
Hiring 6 additional firefighters would increase the total number of personnel by 2 per shift, which still
would not guarantee a total of 50 personnel on duty each day, 365 days per year. Overtime may still
be incurred when staffing shortages occur due to sickness, specialized training schools, EMS training
requirements, or any other number of reasons. However, the frequency of putting any apparatus out
of service would be significantly reduced. The cost of hiring 6 additional Grade I Firefighters would
be approximately$280,000 per year, which includes the cost of wages, benefits, protective clothing,
and uniforms. Administration is currently researching methods of generating revenue that could
provide funding for additional personnel.
Staffing Plan Issues

APPARATUS OUT OF SERVICE
The perception has been created by a less than accurate statement, at the November 16 Council
meeting, that Truck 3 and Snorkel 7 have been placed out of service in addition to those units
outlined in the staffing plan approved by Council. After investigation, it had been determined that no
apparatus, other than those outlined in the alternative plan, had been taken out of service for any
extended period of time.
It must be clarified that no apparatus in the department can remain in service 100% of the time.. in
their station. Routinely, apparatus may go out of service for a period of time, without jeopardizing
the fire protection of the city, to carry out normal training and maintenance functions. Examples of
these functions include drills and exercises at the training center, EMS training requirements, and
annual vehicle, equipment, and fire hydrant maintenance. These training and maintenance functions
are necessary to support the mission of the Beaumont Fire/Rescue Service.

STAFFING POLICY Uniform Operating Guidelines
U.O.G.104.06
10199-N Page 1110f.2
As directed by City Council and Management, Fire Station No. 5 (6375 Walden
Rd.)will initiate operations. To staff the facility in accordance with the alternative
staffing plan adopted by Council, the following policy shall be observed:
To fully staff all front-line apparatus 50 personnel are required. The minimum
staffing goal will be set at 47 personnel. If on-duty staffing levels are anticipated to
fall below 47 persons on any shift, the Deputy Chief will follow U.O.G. 104.03A,
Administration of Overtime Rotation List to bring staffing levels up to the
minimum level.
It is anticipated that no more than one unit will be placed out-of-service at any
time due to staffing deficiencies. When staffing levels are anticipated between 47
and 49 personnel, the Deputy Chief will administer the following sequence of
placing a unit out-of-service:
On-duty NumberfPersns.......

48 2 Truck 4/Rescue 57
47 3 Engine I I
To promote efficiency and mininmi the movement of personnel the Deputy Chief
will have the authority to vary from these guidelines to address unanticipated
staffing shortages that occur during the duty shift.
Each Deputy Chief will maintain the attached worksheet detailing occurrences of
staffing shortages and the reason for the shortage on their shift. This information
will be used to compile the monthly report and to make a quarterly analysis as
outlined in the alternative staffing plan. The worksheet will be forwarded to the
Fire Chief no later than the f rst day of each month.
