Approval of the Correction of Two Classifications (grade FS30 and grade FS40) within the 2026 Fire Support "FS" Pay Plan
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
This memo seeks approval to correct a scrivener's error to the 2026 Fire Support "FS" Pay Plan. The 2026-2028 Fire Support Union Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and the associated 2026 pay plan was approved by Council on December 2, 2025. The pay plan presented to Council at that time included the incorrectly agreed upon pay range for the Fire Mechanic (FS30) and the Fire Apparatus Program Supervisor (FS40). Council approved a lower pay range for both classifications than was agreed to or intended. All other classification pay ranges within the pay plan are correct.
