Normal Staffing Level Sample Clauses
Normal Staffing Level. The City and Association agree that the normal staffing level of permanent full-time staff will be equal to the minimum number of positions the City budgets as on duty (currently 48) plus one firefighter paramedic per shift. (Example: If the City budgets to have 48 suppression staff on duty, there will be no more than 51 full time positions; 51 full time positions equates to 16 minimum plus one for a total of 17 uniformed suppression staff on-duty per shift unless a temporary vacancy exists in the firefighter paramedic rank which will decrease the staffing to sixteen. The City will only hire a full-time position beyond the normal staffing level when the Fire Chief has a reasonable expectation that a position will become vacant within the next four months due to a planned retirement. Absent "catastrophic circumstances", the City will fill all 16 minimum staffing positions daily. The parties agree that staffing levels not otherwise agreed upon in this MOU are a management right. This right includes determining the number of budgeted positions. CHAPTER 4.0 PROBATIONARY PERIOD, TIME IN GRADE & CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES
