BAC KG RO U N D Historically, the Redwood City Fire Department's Command Staff structure included the Deputy Fire Chief classification; however this position was eliminated in the budget plan for Fiscal Year 1992-93. The Redwood City Fire Department is currently requesting approval to establish the classification of Deputy Fire Chief due to anticipated changes in staff oversight and work load as a result of the Agreement to Provide Fire and Emergency Services to the City of San Carlos. As a component of this Agreement, a Deputy Fire Chief will be employed to oversee the additional workload required to effectively manage fire operations for the City of San Carlos. The Deputy Fire Chief will be utilized to perform management, technical, personnel, and administrative work under administrative direction of the Fire Chief. The Deputy Fire Chief will plan, direct, supervise, and participate in the activities of one or more major divisions, take command of the department in the absence of the Fire Chief, and other related work as required. The Deputy Fire Chief will primarily serve as a liaison to the City of San Carlos to manage fire operations. This will be a management position represented by the Chief Officers Association. The proposed salary range was determined through a salary survey completed in April, 2011, and set at $12,501 to $14,621 per month. ALTERNATIVES Council could advise staff to make further evaluation and recommend alternative organizational structure and classification changes.
