Scott and the committee he formed for gathering and review of this information did, I believe, an excellent �ob. The seeond sheet af his report outlines the existing and proposed adjustm�nts very well. There are two main areas of ad�ustment: (1) Firefighter pay fram $5.00 ta $5.5Q per hour to incl.ude all fire calls, training titne, rescue cal�s and fire inspeetions . Though this is a 10� increase in ane year, we do find ourselues low in relation to other communities; and this ad�ustment wi11 not put us up out of "the average" for other degartments. (2) Chief's Salary - Based upon what the salary review that the fire department eompleted showed and based upon information reeeived from the Police/Fire Studp completed bp Fred Hoisington, the chief' s position needs £urther consideration as to personnel assistance and finsncial consideration. We feei, with that in mind, the increase to $3000 annually is totally warranted. I recommend that you consider and approve the scheduled as presented for the fire department. smj Attachment � � � ROSENiOUN OLUNTEER 2$?5 145th Stre¢t Wes# Rosemount, MN 55Q68 FI�E DEPAKTMENT �,►y H�� 6��-423-4a�� Fire Nall 612-423-34a4 �Q: Steve Jilk, Administrator rROM: Scatt Aker, rire Chief � DATE: October 14, 19$8 � RE: 1989 Salaries Attacned, please find a copy o£ the proposed salary schedule for fiare fighters and officers . A committee was formed in early spring which surveyed the surrounding communities. Their recommendations were brought to the entire membershig. The membership approved these salaries as proposed and the 1989 budget taas planned accordingly. I� approved, the amounts will fa11 within the budgeted amount , barring any drastic increase in fires during 1989 . Neca to the salary schedule is a $15p stipend per year for captains. The token amount is somemwhat indicative of the added responsiblities they will be asstzming. I would look for this area to possibly increase in the futtxre. A fire fighter wauld also receive a $ . SO per hour increase wi.th this proposal. All $S .00 rates would be $5 . 50, i .e . , f�res, training, rescue, fire inspections. The fire marshall amd trai�it►g division would still have a $750.00 ceiling on extra pay as they do now at the $5 .00 rate . They have not reached the ceiling and I believe the $75Q.00 to be adequate for 1989 . The largest discrepancy in salaries, according to the study cammittee, was for the fire chief. For this reason they recommended and the membership approved a $1 ,4Q0.QQ increase for 1989 with future considerations for subsequent years . All other areas, including assistant fire chief, secretary, training instructors , and fire marshall appeared in line with comparable positions in surrounciing eommunities or the salaries are commensurate with the responsiblities now i�eing assumed. dw attachment RU�,E�'tUI�PJT F I RE GEF'HF�'TP�IENT cALAR I ES .. • � � Prc�posed 1988 1989 Fire Fighters 44 ,S�t1 .U0 at 45, 150.00 at S.QO per hr . 5.50 per hour Fire Chief 200Q .00 and 300Q .Q0 and ane hr . min . all ofre hr . min . all pagrd cal t � pag�ed ca�l 1 s c�sst .
