Subject:Suspension of Competition and Direct Appointment in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to merit system positions where use of competitive examination procedures is
impractical. It also requires that a report of the suspension of competition along with the
reasons therefore shall be reported to the Board of Supervisors.
In this instance, the Displaced Firefighter Hiring List maintained by CFFJAC contains
the names of individuals who have previously served as firefighters in other California
communities. As a result, these individuals would not require extensive training in order
to become available to relieve the stress of excessive overtime upon current firefighters in
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The action is required by Personnel Management Regulations, Section 502. Failure to
adopt the action would prohibit the department from making direct appointments of
individuals from the CFFJAC Displace Firefighter Hiring List.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
