LOG NAME: 0336FWFD FY19 STAFFING

DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance prescribing the salaries for all fire
fighter personnel in the Fire Department effective October 1, 2018.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication and the attached ordinance is to prescribe the
salaries for each classification of fire fighter personnel in the Fire Department for Fiscal Year 2019 in
accordance with state law and the adopted labor agreement.
The adopted Fiscal Year 2019 Budget maintains Fire Department staffing at previous levels. As last
prescribed by Ordinance 22943-09-2017, civil service staffing in the Fire Department consists of the nine
hundred and twenty-five positions as follows:

The four-year term of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the City of Fort Worth and the
Fort Worth Professional Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 440 (CSC No. 46053), expires on September
30, 2018, and the "evergreen" period of up to one-year will commence on October 1, 2018. During the
evergreen period, the pay structure from the fourth year of the contract remains in effect.
The attached salary ordinance readopts the same pay structure for FY2019 as was in place for
FY2018. This ordinance and salary structure will remain in effect until a new CBA is signed or the
evergreen period ends, whichever comes first. If a new CBA gets signed, staff will present a revised
salary ordinance for City Council consideration.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
