Additional Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On June 14, 2022, City Council approved the Measure U funding for the Fire Department Diversity, Outreach and Recruitment (DOR) Division. This Measure U funding was included as part of the second year of the DOR program. The second year of funding included student intern positions and supplies and services for the EMS Intern program. The Department worked diligently throughout the fiscal year to start the EMS Intern program however, this took extensive time to complete, resulting in expected expenditure savings this fiscal year.
The creation of a MYOP for the Fire Department DOR division, will allow the continuation of the program and flexibility to fund additional student interns and/ or additional educational supplies for the EMS Interns.
File ID: 2023-00536 5/16/2023 Discussion Item 19.
