The Career Development Program that was developed from the Organizational Analysis
and Renewal Program identified one of the greatest needs of the Fort Worth Fire
Department to be a formal Career Development Program. The need exists for a
Manager for the program who is well trained in this area. Captain Cager L
Mitchell meets all of the qualifications for this position. He is currently
serving in this capacity at the Fire Training Academy
Lieutenant Larry Taylor has been assigned to an innovative recruit training pro-
gram at Station 27. He will assume command of the "B" shift of the station and
will be responsible for recruit training and operations. The addition of
Lieutenant Taylor will provide a consistent level of supervision by assignment
of a Lieutenant on each shift at the Training Station and placing a Captain on a
40 hour work week as Training Coordinator for all shifts.
The proposed staffing for the Fire Department is as follows
Current Proposed
7 Deputy Chiefs 7 Deputy Chiefs
17 District Chiefs 17 District Chiefs
81 Fire Captains 82 Fire Captains
91 Fire Lieutenants 9a ..Fire Lieutenants
154 Fire Engineers 154 Fire Engineers
304 Fire Fighters 304 Fire Fighters
654 Total 656 Total
The addition of these two positions will eliminate acting pay for five subordi-
nates in Fire Operations and will make the Fire Department balanced in the
critical areas. Thus, it is not necessary to alter the budget of the department
in order to create these positions
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance to reflect the addi-
tion of one Fire Captain and one Fire Lieutenant position, increasing the
authorized strength in the Fire Department to 656. gpp
