Re: Pay increase for Nick Vannelli
Background:
Nick joined the department on June 1 2019, Nick has already completed and received a pay
adjustment for his probationary period and firefighter 2 certification. He has now passed his
EMT Certification. The policy states that he receives a $1.00 raise for completion of the EMT
certification and a $100 stipend for class hours. This pay adjustment will be effective starting
November 1st of 2021.
Issue:
Should the council approve the new wage?
Proposal Details:
Increase Nick Vannelli’s wage from $12.33 to $13.33 (this is the top wage for a firefighter that is
not an officer)
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact has been taken in to account in the fire department budget.
Options:
(1) Increase pay to $13.33 and approve one-time $100 stipend.
(2) Increase pay to a different scale.
(3) Do not approve pay change
Recommendation:
Option (1).
