February 9, 1994
26. Resolution 94-133 - establishing the rate of pay for the new classification entitled Fire
Sprinkler Inspector in the Sprinkler Fitters Bargaining Unit.
Acting President Rettman explained that this position was approved in the 1994 budget
because of State Regulations which will go into effect sometime this year.
A brief discussion ensued between Councilmembers Harris, Rettman, Guerin, and John
Shockley, Office of Human Resources, regarding the need for the Sprinkler Inspector Position
and how the salary was determined.
John Shockley stated that $21.50 per hour is based on the salary of sprinkler inspectors in
the private sector. It has been the City's practice in the past for trade inspectors to receive
the outside wage packet. This position would specifically perform fire sprinklers installation
for both new and existing construction.
Acting President Rettman explained that State Building Codes supersede City Building Codes.
Installing sprinklers requires a different type of expertise from that of general certificate of
occupancy inspectors.
Councilmember Guerin stated that State and City laws require all buildings receiving public
funds to have sprinklers. This resolution will allow pipefitters with sprinkler expertise to
inspect and install them.
Acting President Rettman suggested that Steve Zaccard be contacted for additional
information.
After further discussion, Councilmember Harris moved a one week lay over and requested
additional information from the Fire Department and Mr. Shockley.
