Henderson approves firefighter collateral-assignment stipends, caps at $1,000 per employee
Summary
The board approved a stipend policy for full-time firefighters that pays $500 per eligible collateral assignment (up to two stipends, $1,000 per employee annually) for duties such as CPR instructor, HazMat technician, EMR/EMT certification, and drone pilot.
Fire Chief Doug Acred presented a collateral-assignment stipend policy intended to aid firefighter retention. Under the policy full-time employees who perform eligible collateral assignments and hold certifications would receive $500 per assignment per year, with a limit of two stipends (maximum $1,000/year) per employee. Eligible assignments listed include CPR instructor, department training officer, HazMat technician, EMR/EMT, child safety seat technician, C.I.T. officer, fire inspector, grant writing, and FAA-licensed drone pilot.
Ald. Donna R. Butler moved to approve the 2025'1026 stipend policy for full-time fire personnel; the motion was seconded and carried. The minutes include an illustrative estimate of current-year costs showing, for example, two employees each with two assignments costing $2,000 in stipends.
