Committee approves reclassifying two assistant fire chief positions to exempt-at-will status
Summary
The Santa Fe Public Safety Committee approved a request to reclassify two assistant fire chief positions to exempt-at-will status to align with executive employment standards; staff said the move increases operational flexibility.
The Santa Fe Public Safety Committee voted to reclassify two assistant fire chief positions to exempt-at-will status, a personnel change city staff said aligns the fire department with executive-level employment standards and offers increased operational flexibility.
Chief Oudekirk described the request as a routine administrative alignment that brings the department in line with other city-level positions. He told the committee the change would move assistant chiefs to exempt-at-will status and that the item would still require governing-body approval after committee review.
A committee member moved the measure and the committee seconded it; the chair called for a roll-call vote and the motion passed. Staff stood for questions and did not identify additional operational details beyond alignment and perceived benefits.
The committee recorded the motion as passed and moved on to other agenda items.
