City staff present CWA agreement for EMT supervisors and propose salary reclassifications
Summary
Staff presented an ordinance to ratify a collective bargaining agreement with CWA covering EMT supervisors (captains unit), noted roughly 16 covered employees, and proposed splitting the administrative manager classification with new salary ranges.
City staff presented an ordinance to ratify a collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Communications Workers of America (CWA) covering EMT supervisors, described in the meeting as a “captain’s unit,” and outlined related classification and salary changes.
A presenter identified the unit and said it includes “approximately 16 employees in this group.” The presenter described base‑wage changes in the presentation, stating that base wages “came out to be 2.89, 2.96, and 2 0.89 respectively in each year” as presented in the analysis.
Staff also described a civil service and human resources review that recommended raising maximum salaries for some classifications and splitting what had been a single administrative manager role into two levels — an entry‑level administrative manager and an administrative manager 2 — to better align duties across departments. The presentation specified a salary‑setting range for administrative manager 1 of $65,000 to $80,000 and noted that the higher‑level administrative manager classification would be used across departments.
The transcript excerpt did not include a recorded final vote on the ordinance in the provided segment.
Why this matters: ratifying the CWA agreement and changing classifications affects pay and staffing for a public safety‑adjacent unit and creates new personnel classifications for city departments.
