Council approves temporary side-by-side firefighter medic hire to cover FMLA absence
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution #052626-12 to hire a temporary side-by-side full-time firefighter medic to cover a vacancy created by an employee on limited duty and FMLA through the remainder of 2026; the role is temporary and may be ended or extended as operational needs change.
Pleasant Hill’s City Council approved Resolution #052626-12 on May 26 to authorize hiring a temporary side-by-side full-time firefighter medic to maintain staffing while an employee is on limited duty and on approved FMLA through the remainder of 2026.
Assistant Fire Chief Ryan Hill said the temporary position has been used previously and that applicants for the role will acknowledge its temporary status; the hire is intended to ensure full staffing levels and continuity of emergency response during the employee’s absence. Council members discussed the request and then approved the resolution on a 5-0 roll call vote.
Resident George Salnave offered public thanks to the fire and police departments during closing comment; no additional staffing details or candidate names were provided in the meeting record.
