HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07122011 - C.33RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACKNOWLEDGE receipt of report of suspension of competition and direct appointment in
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to facilitate the direct appointment of
individuals from the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee (CFFJAC)
Displaced Firefighter Hiring List, as recommended by the Assistant County Administrator
-Director of Human Resources.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fire Chief has requested utilization of the CFFJAC Displaced Firefighter Hiring List in
order to diminish the on-going need for overtime for existing employees and suspension of
competition with direct appointment would accomplish this result.
BACKGROUND:
Personnel Management Regulations, Section 502, Suspension of Competition, provides that
the Director of Human Resources may suspend competition and authorize a direct
appointment 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 shall be reported

Subject:Suspension of Competition and Direct Appointment in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 Contra Costa County Fire Protection District would not benefit from the cost savings
resulting from paying less overtime to existing employees, and the advantages of hiring
individuals who have already been trained.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
