Contra Costa County Fire Protection District �HTIf F� Fire Chief KEITH RICHTER November 1, 2005 TO: Rich Seithel, Special Districts Analyst Gladys Scott Reid, Human Resources Analyst FROM: Jackie Lorrekovich, Personnel Services Assistant SUBJECT: P300 to Establish Classification of Fire Equipment Mechanic and Reallocate Salary of Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator The attached Position Adjustment Request (P300) is submitted to 1) establish the classification of Fire Equipment Mechanic and reclassify six incumbent Equipment Mechanics to the new classification of Fire Equipment Mechanic; and 2) reallocate the salary of Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator (PMSC) from $4,648 - $5,125 to $5,097 - 5 620 (includes 2% cost of living adjustment scheduled for July 1, 2007). Establish the Classification of Fire Equipment Mechanic During the last contract negotiations with PEU, Local #1, section 58.7, CA. was added to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): Employees assigned to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to perform the duties of Equipment Mechanic shall receive a five percent (59/o) differential effective July 1, 2006. A new classification of Fire Equipment Mechanic incorporating such differential will be established no later than July 1, 2007. In accordance with this agreement, the District's six Equipment Mechanics are currently receiving a 5% pay differential. To fully comply with the terms of the agreement, a new classification should be established (incorporating the differential into base pay) with an effective date that is no later than July 1, 2007. The District's six incumbent Equipment Mechanics should be reclassified accordingly. Reallocate the Salary of Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator In 2002, the single position classification of Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator was established and an Equipment Mechanic position was canceled.

Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator was established with the same salary steps as Equipment Mechanic. — cro-e, After the last contract negotiations concluded, we were surprised to learn that the above-referenced differential (MOU Sec. 58.7,C.4.) was not going to be applied to Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator. Therefore, the second part of this request seeks to correct that significant oversight. We are recommending a 7.5% salary reallocation for Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator effective July 1, 2007. An additional 2% increase should be applied for the scheduled cost of living adjustment (COLA). The District's Equipment Mechanics will receive a 5% adjustment to their base pay (plus a 2% COLA). The slightly higher reallocation for Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator (i.e., 7.5%) is in recognition of the lead worker responsibilities. The costs associated with this request are negligible; the Equipment Mechanics are already receiving a 5% pay differential and a salary reallocation to Fire Apparatus Service Coordinator will impact only one incumbent. Please contact me at (925) 941-3312 if you have any questions or concerns with this request. Attachment P300 c: Keith B. Richter, Fire Chief Richard D.
