Re:                  Fire Prevention Division/Special Neighborhood Unit Task Force

On Friday, July 7, 2006, the Union, along with Fire Marshal Barry Rickert met with City Representatives to discuss the assignment of a Deputy Fire Marshal to the Special Neighbor Unit Task Force.

The Union presented its concerns along with the concerns raised by Fire Marshal Rickert, including the issue of only one (1) Deputy Fire Marshal being afforded the overtime assignment and the reporting system which did not include the Fire Marshal; after a lengthily discussion, the parties were able to resolve the following issues:

• When the Unit is assigned duties after normal business hours; the assignment of a Deputy Fire Marshal on overtime shall be rotated among all members of the Fire Prevention Division.

• The coordinator of the Special Neighborhood Unit Task Force shall make weekly reports to the Fire Marshal.

• The parties further agreed that the Deputy Fire Marshal detailed to the Unit during normal business hours, shall continue to be under the jurisdiction of the Fire Marshal.

As a result of this meeting, the Fire Marshal was satisfied with the outcome.

Thank you.
