Manager.
Councilmember Sherman made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Carbone, to
approve Resolution No. R2013-189.
Page 10 of 15 — 11/11/2013
City Manager Bill Eisen reported Council is being asked to pass Resolution No. R2013-
189 adopting a shift structure for the consolidated Fire and EMS Department. He further
stated clarification is needed from Council if the four personnel per on -duty fire
apparatus are to all be full-time or three personnel are to be full-time with the fourth
person to be made up from volunteer, part-time or full-time personnel.
Councilmember Ordeneaux stated his point of view is the four personnel per on -duty fire
apparatus are to be full-time personnel.
Councilmember Carbone stated he agreed
Councilmember Sherman stated he disagreed. He further stated his thought is the shift
structure would be a combination of volunteer, part-time and full-time personnel.
Councilmember Sherrouse stated she is in favor of the four shifts using three full-time
personnel and the fourth to be volunteer or part-time personnel.
Fire Chief Vance Riley stated if the Fire Department had four full-time personnel per on -
duty fire apparatus a volunteer could still serve as a fifth position. He stated two of the
current Fire Stations do not have enough sleeping quarters to add that fifth person per
truck. He stated short term the Fire Department would be limiting the Volunteer
Firefighters to some extent.
Councilmember Carbone stated he is concerned the Fire Department is currently having
difficulty staffing positions with full-time personnel.
Fire Chief Vance Riley stated at the current time the fourth position is staffed with part-
time or volunteer personnel. At times it is difficult to staff the fourth position with
volunteer or part-time personnel.
Councilmember Carbone stated that is why he is in favor of staffing with four full-time
personnel.
Councilmember Ordeneaux stated he is in favor of four full-time personnel for the safety
of our firefighters and residents.
Fire Chief Vance Riley stated when looking at the number of fire stations and personnel
the City will need in the future and the impact on the budget, he is opposed to starting
immediately with four full-time personnel on every fire truck. He does agree there needs
to be four personnel per on -duty fire apparatus at all times. If in the future there is a lack
of volunteers or the part-time program is not working he will come back to Council and
ask for more full-time personnel.
Page 11 of 15 — 11/11/2013
Councilmember Carbone asked if the Consolidation Committee has a recommendation
on the shift and number of personnel.
Fire Chief Vance Riley stated the Committee gave four different options, but did not
recommend a specific shift.
Mayor Pro -Tem Hill stated he is in favor of the Resolution as proposed.
Chairperson of the Consolidation Committee Jack Helton stated the committee
presented four options that would give personnel either more days off or additional
personnel to help reduce stress and fatigue. He stated the Committee is presenting
these options for Councilmembers to review and make a decision.
Discussion ensued between Council and Chairperson Jack Helton regarding the
number of personnel and rotation to prevent anyone from being on an ambulance for 48
hours straight.
Councilmember Ordeneaux stated unfortunately this does become a budget issue. He
does not think the budget can withstand four shifts with four full-time personnel per
apparatus without a tax increase. He stated it all comes down to budget and trying to do
the best job with the least amount of money.
Councilmember Sherman stated he would like the Resolution to state the fourth position
can be filled with full-time, part-time or volunteer personnel.
City Manager Bill Eisen stated the Resolution as worded is a minimum of four per
apparatus per shift. At the current time the minimum is less than four. If this Resolution
is passed and there are four stations the minimum per apparatus will be sixteen.
Regardless if the personnel are full-time, part-time or volunteer.
Councilmember Carbone stated having the fourth position staffed with a Certified
Paramedic that can rotate to an ambulance is how combined departments work. That is
why he is pushing for four full-time personnel per apparatus. He further stated he would
like to see the Resolution amended to four full-time personnel on duty.
Councilmember Carbone made the motion, seconded by Mayor Pro -Tem Hill to amend
the motion to adopt the three shift schedule with four full-time employees per on -duty
apparatus.

Voting "No" Councilmember Sherman, Hill, and Ordeneaux.
