Safety committee recommends separating fire-department and city-staff incident payouts; formal proposal to follow
Summary
The safety committee recommended separating incident payouts so a lost-time incident for a city employee would not reduce the fire department payout and vice versa; staff will prepare a formal proposal and the council anticipates no increase in city costs.
At the June 22 work session, the safety committee proposed separating incident-payout calculations for the fire department and city staff so that a lost-time incident affecting one group would not reduce payout eligibility for the other. The recommendation is intended to recognize different risk levels between the two groups; staff said the change is not expected to increase city costs. Council requested a formal proposal be prepared for future consideration.
The item was presented as a work-session recommendation rather than a final action; no motion or vote occurred on the floor during the regular meeting. Staff will draft formal language and cost implications for a future council agenda.
