Supplement to Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department MOU Dated 8/1/96 With IAFF Local 1974 - For Fire Prevention Personnel This supplement to the above referenced MOU is to further clarify the wages, hours and working conditions of LPFD Fire Prevention Personnel represented by Local 1974. As the original negotiations that set up the first MOU for the new LPFD had to be quickly done, all issues with regard to represented Fire Prevention personnel were not completed. Further discussions with Local 1974 and the LPFD management Team have resulted in the following additions or clarifications to the MOU. Unless otherwise added or modified below, all items referencing Fire Prevention personnel in the original MOU remain unchanged. The items below represent the closure of all open items with regard to Fire Prevention personnel, and the acceptance of this MOU Supplement by Local 1974 means that Meet and Confer for Fire Prevention personnel is now complete for the remaining life of the MOU that expires on 7/31/2001. 1. Wage and Benefits: All represented Fire Prevention personnel will receive al the wage increases due in the Livermore line personnel schedule. The increases for prevention personnel will occur at the same time for line personnel as set forth in MOU Appendix "A"on page 34 and in Item "E" on page 26. This means the prevention personnel will receive an adjustment to base salary equal to the "EMT' compensation due line personnel. The EMT amounts are an additional base wage increase to the prevention personnel in order to maintain Fire Inspector top step in the LPFD pay plan comparable to that of top Engineer, as was the past practice with the City of Livermore. At the first Pleasanton pay period in August 1997, the two Fire Inspectors originally with the City of Pleasanton will be advanced to "E" step on the Livermore Fire Inspector pay schedule instead of "D" step. Effective with this change of the Pleasanton Inspectors to "E" Step, the Pleasanton Education Incentive pay they received on top of their base pay is eliminated permanently, including any new inspectors employed by the JPA in the future. All Fire Inspectors - current or future, will meet the educational requirements of the Career Development Plan to attain "E" step Fire Inspector compensation. The final time schedule will depend on the availability of any necessary regional training classes. Any such required classes will have course and travel fees paid by the Department. Attendance will be allowed as part of normal work hours. The original City of Pleasanton Fire Inspectors who were represented by PCEA, are represented by IAFF Local 1974 as of 8/1/96. Correspondingly, the PCEA Life Insurance benefit of $35,000 was reduced to the Local 1974 benefit of $25,000. Some of this reduction was offset by an increase in LTD benefits that Local 1974 members receive. 2. PERS Status: The classifications of Fire Inspector, Hazardous Materials Coordinator and Hazardous Materials Inspector will be placed in the same Safety PERS plan as maintained for the line personnel. In doing so, these job descriptions will be amended to reflect the safety duties of prevention personnel such as fire investigation, response to emergency scenes, basic first aid or other such peripheral emergency scene duties that they may be trained and equipped for.
