RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the revised Firefighter and Fire
Captain classification specifications.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the routine examination preparation procedures, the Fire Department
management and Human Resources Department staff have reviewed the Firefighter
and Fire Captain classification specifications. The results of this review process are
the proposed modifications to the Firefighter (Attachment 1) and Fire Captain
(Attachment 2) specifications.
DISCUSSION:
Effective January 1, 2011 the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) codified
requirements necessary to operate firefighting equipment. Specifically, individuals
operating firefighting equipment are required to possess a valid California driver’s
license and Firefighter endorsement. Further, Vehicle Code §12804.11(a) states: “to
operate firefighting equipment, a driver, including a tiller operator, is required to
maintain a firefighter endorsement issued by the department (DMV) and obtain and
maintain a class A, class B, or class C license” (Attachment 3).
City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
Firefighters are routinely assigned the duty of tiller steering on the ladder truck and
participate in daily training activities which may include operating firefighting
equipment. In addition, Fire Captains supervise and participate in all functions of a
fire company including training Firefighters and Fire Engineers. Therefore, in order
to comply with the current DMV regulations, Firefighters and Fire Captains must
obtain and maintain a California driver’s license and Firefighter endorsement. Upon
learning of the DMV regulation changes, the Fire Department took action to ensure
that all incumbents at all ranks were in compliance as of January 1, 2011.
As part of the routine review process, Human Resources staff ensures that the
classification specifications appropriately reflect current job functions and
requirements. The physical requirements and working conditions section has been
updated to reflect the current occupational medical standard for vision requiring all
Fire safety classifications “to have 20/30 vision with or without correction.”
Additionally, the Firefighter and Fire Captain classification specifications have been
revised throughout to clarify the full scope of duties and responsibilities, reflect
marginal job duties, and eliminate outdated language.
On April 6, 2011, the Civil Service Commission approved revisions to the Firefighter
and Fire Captain classification specifications (Attachment 5).
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of the revised classification
specifications for Firefighter and Fire Captain.
