A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PEARLAND, TEXAS, ADOPTING A PAY PLAN FOR TRANSITIONAL
PARAMEDIC/FIREFIGHTER.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND,
TEXAS:
Section 1. That the City Council previously passed a resolution consolidating
the Fire and EMS Departments and requiring that all future employees be dually
certified as firefighters and paramedics.
Section 2. That the City requires four (4) new firefighter/paramedics to staff the
City's 5th ambulance, and desires to create a temporary "Transitional
Paramedic/Firefighter" position and pay classification accordingly.
Section 3. That the four Transitional Paramedic/Firefighters will be compensated
using the current Firefighter/EMT pay classification plus an additional $450 per month
Paramedic certification pay due to fact that the four positions will staff a less desirable
shift structure (12 hour days for four consecutive days, followed by four days off).
Section 4. That the City Council hereby creates the position of Transitional
Paramedic/Firefighter for four employees and adopts a pay plan plus $450 per month
certification pay for the position.
Section 5. That effective October 1, 2014, the Transitional Paramedic/Firefighter
positions will be phased out as the former EMS employee's transition to the new Fire
Department shift schedule and pay plan which will include the $450 per month
certification pay for fire fighters of all ranks that are certified as paramedics.
