MEMORANDUM
TO: Council President David Hozza and �
Honorable Members of the Cit Co cil
FROM: Mayor Lawrence D. Cohen
SUBJ: Ordinances Changing Pay Schedule for Firefighters
This memo is in regard to the proposed ordinance which changes
the pay schedule for firefighters. This proposed change is
based upon the request made by the Firefighters Union Local #21.
The Fire DepartTnent recently hired forty ne�a firefighters.
These new employees are currently involved in a fourteen-month
training program which a11 newly appointed firefighters complete.
This training program is considered as on-the-job training by
the Department of Labor and Industry in the State of Minnesota.
Therefore, those newly hired firefighters who are eligible for
veterans' benefits are eligible to receive benefits under the
on-the-job training provisions of the Veterans ' Benefit Act.
However, in order for a training program to be approved by the
Department of Labor and Industry there are certain conditions
which must be met. One of these conditions requires that during
the training program at least one salary increase must be given
to the participants. A second requirement is that another
salary increase must be granted upon completion of the training
program.
Under the present pay schedule the Eirefighters do not meet both
of these requirements. The current pay scale schedule provides
for a salary increase after one year and another salary increase
after completion of the second year. The training program is a
fourteen-month training program, therefore, Firefighters do not
meet the requirement which states that the participants must
receive a salary increase upon completion of the training program.

Memo to Council Pres. Hozza
and Members of City Council -2- July 14 , 1975
Therefore, the Firefighters Union Local #21 requested that the
pay schedule be changed so that a salary increase would be
granted after 10 months of service in the training program and
that another salary increase be granted after 14 months
completion which coincideswith the completion of the training
program.
Shown below is the current pay schedule and the proposed pay
schedule.
CURRENT PROPOSED
Starting $507. 58 $507.58
after 10 months 517.53
after 1 year 528.Q8
after 14 months 528 . 08
after 2 years 550. 08 550. 0$
after 3 years 555.: Q8 555. 08
after 5 years 577.58 577 .58
after 8 years 582.58 582.58
after 10 years 596. 08 596. 08
after 13 years 607.58 607 �58
after 15 years 622.58 622.58
The proposed pay schedule changes only the time between salary
steps and does not change the total income for the firefighter.
If any further information is needed, or if I can be of any
further assistance in this matter, please call Stephen Chapple
in my office.
