Re: Reassignment of Travis Loeffler to Firefighter
Background:
Travis Loeffler was promoted to Captain 01/01/2017. Travis has had some changes in his life
recently and in the near future and is not sure of his ability to fulfill the role as Captain at this
time. I have decided to reassign Travis back to the rank of firefighter at this time.
Issue:
Should the city reassign Travis Loeffler back to the Firefighter position?
Proposal Details:
We would move Travis Loeffler back to the rank of firefighter and fill his position with Eric
Rydeen, who has been filling the interim position. There is a separate staff report for Eric
Rydeen promotion. We would like to have this be retroactive to June 1st as this is when duties
changed internally.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact would be the elimination of the interm Captain position. The savings would be
$1,200 per year.
Options:
(1) Reassign Travis Loeffler to firefighter
(2) Assign to a different role
(3) Do nothing
Recommendation:
Option (1).
