As a result of this review, City Administration and the Public Safety Committee have approved the reorganization. The recommended reorganization creates a Training Division to include a Training Supervisor and a Training Assistant and a Fire and Life Safety Division to include a Deputy Fire Marshal and Assistant Fire position. These four positions will report to the Deputy Chief of Support Services. An organizational chart is attached for reference as Attachment A. The creation of the Training Assistant position is driven by the success and contractual obligations of the Fire Cadet program through the Yakima Valley Technical Skills Center (YVTech). Funding for the Training Assistant position will be from the contract with YVTech and overtime savings from multiple Fire Department instructors on overtime basis. The report recommending the establishment of the Training Assistant classification is attached as Attachment B. .The funding for the Deputy Fire Marshal, Assistant Fire Marshal and Training Supervisor is contained in the 2003 Budget as these functions are currently being performed by Captain and/or Lieutenant employees. Pursuant to Article 33 of the 2001-2003 Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of Yakima and the IAFF Local 469 (Fire LEOFF), the parties have negotiated and reached settlement on the wages, hours of work, working conditions, selection criteria and fringe benefits for the new classifications of Training Supervisor, Training Assistant , Deputy Fire Marshal and Assistant Fire Marshal as outlined in the attached Addendum to the 2001-2003 Collective Bargaining Agreement. See Attachment C. Attachment C also contains negotiated amendments to Article 14 regarding the recruitment, testing and selection process for Fire Lieutenants and Captains. Attachment D is the Pay Ordinance which amends the Classification and Compensation Plan to reflect the negotiated salary levels for these new classifications which are: Training Supervisor and Deputy Fire Marshal, both at $4,879-$5,916 per month (10.0% above the current Day Captain salary) and Training Assistant and Assistant Fire Marshal at $4,411-$5,356 per month (10.0% above the current Day Lieutenant salary). • continued* On May 5, 2003, the Fire Civil Service Commission approved the new class specifications related to the reorganization which are attached for information purposes as Attachment E.

Our valued Yakima Valley Technical (YVTEC) Fire Cadet Program has developed to the point where we now have two classes each day and have established a second year curriculum. We are unable to meet contractual obligations to the program without a dedicated staff position. Reinstatement of the Technical Training Assistant would be completed within current budget revenue. Currently we staff the Fire Cadet program with as many as six different instructors on overtime status. Multiple instructors of this magnitude is expensive, inhibits continuity, accountability, quality control, safety and student articulation into area fire departments. I recommend that reinstatement of the Technical Training Assistant occur with the renewal of the YVTEC Contract this July. By utilizing the majority of the YVTEC contractual money as pass through monies this will fund the majority of the position. Continuous funding of the Technical Training Assistant would be based on the enterprise contract with the Yakima School District. If YVTEC funding were to be eliminated, the position would be eliminated unless alternate funding could be determined. Another major benefit of the Technical Training Position would be his/her management of our Recruit Training Academy. Reinstatement of the Technical Training Position would result in additional savings of at least $15,000 per year in overtime expenses that are presently incurred to operate the Recruit Academy. Additional duties of the Technical Training position would include implementation and coordination of the National Standard Fire Fighter I Program, and routine training delivered at the Training Center. BACKGROUND Thanks to the support of Council and the vote of our citizens with the passage of a Bond Measure in 1995, our Training Center has developed into the Central Washington Regional Training Center. In 2002 we provided training to 5,363 customers at our Training Center while conducting 288 training sessions. Our Regional Training Center has allowed us to grow exponentially in knowledge, skill, abilities and professional development. The mission of the Central Washington Regional Training Center is to enhance the safety and skills of the people in all of the emergency services in our community at large. As part of our evolution as a Regional Training Center we further developed our partnership with the Yakima Valley Technical Skills Center and Yakima Valley Community College. Together we produce the Fire Cadet Program where young people can earn college credit, learn teamwork, work ethic, respect, cognitive and manipulative skills. Our facilities at the Regional Training Center has also provided us the abilities to train our new Fire Fighter Recruits at our Training Center rather than incur increased expense and logistical problems of sending our new hires to the State Fire Academy in North Bend. BUDGET PROPOSAL Our current contract with YVTEC is for $83,000 per year to operate two fire cadet classes. Estimated cost including wages and benefits for the Technical Training Assistant position is $76,000. In my proposal I would utilize $63,000 of the YVTEC contractual monies to fund this reinstated position. To accrue the additional $13,000 dollars needed to reach the total needed funding of $76,000 I propose to transfer training funds from several categories. I propose that the budget for the position be as allocated from the following line items: 000.4.032.125.0000.52240.120 Overtime $8,000 000.4.032.125.0000.52240.130 Special Pay 45,000 000.4.032.125.0000.52240.31 N Fuel/Training Fire 6,000 000.4.032.125.0000.52240.491 Miscellaneous Expense 7,000 332.3.332.125.SCFT.36520.FDL Fire Property Lease/Rent 10,.000 Total $76;000 Our tremendous success with the Fire Cadet Program has provided our organization with the skills and abilities to develop our own Fire Recruit Training Program for our new hired fire fighters. By conducting our own Recruit Academy we saved $15,000 last year in lieu of sending our members to North Bend. If we reinstate the Technical Training Assistant we have the potential to save an additional $15,000 per year in overtime costs. CONCLUSION Reinstatement of this position would allow the Yakima Fire Department to reach full utilization of our valuable Training Center, improve the tremendous Fire Cadet Program and further reduce overtime cost to conduct our Recruit Fire Academy. This request addresses several of the City Council's Critical/Strategic Priorities: • Improve Literacy and Education, • Workforce Development, • Cooperative Partnerships, • Provide Education Opportunities, • Public Safety and Youth Involvement. These critical strategic priorities can be accomplished without additional revenue, will reduce overtime, will fulfill contractual requirements and meet the intent of the Training Center as a business operative. Thank you for your time and consideration of this proposal. Attachment C RESOLUTION NO.

An initial joint inventory of the materials will be accomplished as soon as reasonably possible by staff and Union representatives prior to each examination in order to assure material availability. However, after a joint inventory is concluded, should any reference materials be missing from the stations then it shall be the joint responsibility of the Union and the Fire Department to replace those missing materials.
