2023 City of Shakopee Budget

9

 Fire Department Supervisor positions (3) to be implemented on July 1, 2023 with a net cost of $50,200. The three full-time shift supervisors would work rotating 24-hour shifts. Currently on-call fire officers (Deputy Chiefs, Fire Marshal, Captains, and Lieutenants) provide the supervision at night and on the weekends. They receive a monthly stipend and compensation for the hours they respond to a call vs. the firefighters on shift receive compensation for their entire shift (16 or 12 hours). With the current on-call positions, they are not present when needed for shift change meetings, pre-trip truck inspection, coordinating and executing training, assigned station duties, scheduling changes and employee oversight, etc. These duties are important for employee safety, accountability and consistency. We have seen an increase in call volume and on-call supervisors are responding to multiple over night calls. When hired, employees our placed on a wage scale based on their experience level. Employees will advance to the next step on the wage scale on their anniversary date until the top of the pay range for that position is achieved. Step increases amount to $154,600.
