CC Regular Session 5. 13. Meeting Date: 07/13/2021 By: Katie Schmidt, Administrative Services Information Title: Adopt Resolution #21-192 Hiring a Paid -on -call Firefighter Purpose/Background: Over the last several months 7 paid -on -call firefighters have separated from the Fire Department due to retirements and other reasons. The city was contacted by an experienced firefighter who recently moved to Ramsey. This candidate has already completed the required Fire Academy and would not be on the same training timeline as those hired through the current recruitment which will take approximately 12 weeks to complete. As such, Staff saw a benefit in vetting this candidate through the identical hiring process (with the exception of a posted recruitment). At this time, Mr. Steven Randall has successfully completed the following pre -employment requirements of becoming a paid -on -call firefighter with the City of Ramsey: application, interview, physical agility test, background check, reference check, psychological assessment, medical exam and drug screen. Pending Council approval, Mr. Randall would be hired at the normal starting hourly wage of $12.88 and would begin employment on July 14, 2021. Mr. Randall would be subject to the normal one-year probationary period and subject to Fire Department and personnel policies. Funding Source: The funding required to fill this position is included within the approved 2021 budget. Recommendation: Staff recommends hiring Mr. Steven Randall as a Paid -on -call Firefighter at $12.88 per hour, effective July 14, 2021. Outcome/Action: Motion to approve resolution #21-192, hiring Mr. Steven Randall as a Paid -on -call Firefighter at $12.88 per hour, effective July 14, 2021.
