SUBJECT: Agenda Item - 5/23/95 Consent Calendar
(Establish Fire Training Supervisor - East Diablo Fire District)
Please place the attached Resolution on the Board's May 23, 1995 consent
calendar for approval. This action will implement a request from the Fire Chief -
East Diablo Fire Protection District to reclassify the obsolete single-position class
of Fire Captain - East Diablo into a Fire Training Supervisor - East Diablo and
properly reflect the duties which have been performed by the incumbent, Mike
Arnold, for approximately three (3) years.
Because the class of Fire Captain - East Diablo is represented by IAFF Local 1230,
and subject to provision of MOU Section 15.3 (Reclassification Without
Examination), the action required approval of Local 1230 to proceed. This
approval was granted in the attached May 12, 1995 letter from Local 1230 Vice
President, Mike Impastato.
The action has been previously staffed for organizational and budgetary
clearance by Assistant Chief John Clary with your office. The new class of Fire
Training Supervisor - East Diablo will remain at the same salary level as Fire
Captain - East Diablo, but the class will be designated as Unrepresented
Management and removed from Local 1230.
This action should be handled in concert with the adoption of a new 1995 - 1997
MOU recently negotiated by the District with Teamsters Local 1315 on behalf of
the full time fire suppression employees in East Diablo. The MOU will be placed
on the 5/23/95 agenda under a separate item.

Dear Mr. Heyne:
We have carefully reviewed your proposal to reclassify without examination, via Article

circumstances, and noting particularly the job description you have enclosed, the fact
that the incumbent meets the other matters noted in your letter of March 30, 1995,
Local 1230 gives its consent to this reclassification without examination.
Sincerely,
