Title
Discuss Future Fire Department Positions
Body
Resolution of Support
Whereas, in 2004 the Oakland County Medical Control Authority (OCMCA) identified the Rochester Hills Fire Department (RHFD) as an Interim Advance Life Support Agency through 2007 and,
Whereas, under the Agreement, the RHFD must demonstrate progression toward being a complete Advance Life Support (ALS) provider by responding with two-man ALS units at all times by 2007, and
Whereas, the Rochester Hills Fire Chief is recommending the hiring of three (3) firefighter/paramedics to comply with the Agreement, and
Whereas, the Fire Chief is recommending the hiring of one (1) EMS Coordinator due to the demand on the RHFD as it relates to EMS Service and continued increase in overtime cost,
Therefore Be It Resolved, that the City of Rochester Hills Public Safety Committee supports the recommendation of the Fire Chief in pursuing this action.
