Title
Request to Modify Job Specifications for Firefighter I, Firefighter II, Driver/Engineer, Fire Captain, and Assistant Training Officer
Report
BACKGROUND
After reviewing the job specifications in the classified Firefighter promotional series, the Human Resources Department proposes to update the job specifications. The job specification for Firefighter I was last revised in May 2017, Firefighter II was last revised in May 2013, Driver/Engineer was last revised in November 2005, Fire Captain was last revised in March 2012, and Assistant Training Officer was last revised in November 2005.
DISCUSSION
A department review of the job specifications yielded that the job specifications had outdated classes, certifications, and job titles listed for the qualifications. The outdated classes are no longer offered by California State Fire Training, and have been replaced with new classes by California State Fire Training to fulfill the requirements. To bring all of the job specifications up to date, the outdated information was revised and the formatting was corrected for consistency with other job specifications. No changes were made to the Typical Duties or the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities.
There are no recommended changes to the examination weightings or recruitment types for Firefighter I, Firefighter II, Driver/Engineer, Fire Captain, and Assistant Training Officer.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
