Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Adopt a resolution establishing Fire Department compensation. .
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • The Committee reviewing Fire Department governance documents
found that there were some differences between the City Council
resolution (12-18-07-03) setting Fire Department Compensation,
and the pay practices and by-laws of the department.
• The main differences were that 1) the resolution did not clearly
provide for paying the hourly wage for all fire department
activities (recertification classes, inspections and department and
officers meetings), and 2) the resolution did not include bonuses
firefighters receive for completion of certain State fire schools and
certification courses.
• As all compensation must be approved by the City Council, the
resolution has been revised to be consistent with current practices.
The resolution does not increase compensation levels, which
remain the same as the 2007 resolution.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council adopt the resolution, as recommended
by the Committee.
