re Department
Remove one (1) Fire Division Chief (VCOA)
Add one (1) Fire Administrative Manager (MGT)
The r
emoval of one Division Chief (sworn) position in the Fire Department is recommended as part of an organizational restructuring intended to better align staffing resources with current operational needs and administrative priorities. This adjustment reflects a shift toward a more streamlined management structure and the reallocation of resources to support critical administrative and operational functions within the department. The reduction in sworn executive staffing is offset by corresponding enhancements in civilian administrative support, ensuring continued effective leadership, operational oversight, and service delivery while improving overall organizational efficiency.

addition of one Fire Administrative Manager position is recommended to strengthen the Fire Department’s administrative and operational support structure as service demands and organizational complexity continue to increase. This position will provide high -level oversight of administrative functions including budgeting, procurement, personnel coordination, records management, and regulatory compliance, while supporting the Fire Chief and command staff in the execution of departmental priorities.
