MEMORANDUM
To: City Manager John Govoruhk
From: Timothy J. Lallat in, Fire Chief 4 7/74,5_
Date: March 31, 1995
Subject: Fire Department Information
After our Executive Session on Monday 3/27/95,I did sonic research on incentives, there
had seemed to be some concern on how incentives are treated. I have also obtained
additional information that may be of some help in reference to current salary ranges and
overtime exempt status.
The following is my analysis of the attached information.
1. PARAMEDIC INCENTIVES.
All Fire Departments within Seminole County with the exception of Lake Mary Fire
Department which does not provide Advanced life Support, pays incentive to anyone in
the Department with the certification. The amounts paid vary, however, most Departments
pay the incentive each pay period, separate from the hourly wage.
2. EXEMPT STATUS.
This varies from Department, however, all Departments Exempt the Fire Chie! Deputy
Fire Chief, and Assistant Fire Chief. The attached information will give you a better view
of how each Department treats Exempt status.
3. PAY RANGES.
The ranges in my opinion are acceptable and in line with other Departments with the
exception of middle management. Those positions that are low compared to other
Departments are, lieutenants, Battalion Chief, Training&EMS Chief; Fire Marshal, and
Deputy Fire Chief. All other positions appear to be in line with the other Departments in
this County.
If any additional information is needed please inform. This information is being provided
for your benefit and by no means is intended to disrupt what has already been approved by
the City Commission. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
