If they are eligible to count towards staffing, they will be assigned to the vacant positions by the Chief. When a vacancy for a bidded position occurs after July 1 in any rank, the vacated position will be offered to all members of that rank by seniority in rank. These bids will be at no cost to the Town. Employees who are promoted or hired after the annual bid meeting will be assigned to the vacant position(s) by seniority in rank after all bidding by seniority in rank is complete.
Bidding for Shifts. Generally, the District offers the opportunity for Control Center Technicians and Code Compliance Inspectors to bid on shifts two times annually, typically around April and October to align with modal service schedule changes. During these periods shift assignments will be posted for fourteen (14) days prior to the date they will take effect and will remain posted for seven (7) calendar days. Employees shall submit their bid(s) prior to expiration of the seven (7) day period. An employee who desires to withdraw their bid from the advertised shift must file his/her request in writing to the official noted in the posting, prior to the posted closing date and time of the shift. Shifts shall be awarded in order of seniority based on bids received. Should any shift become available outside of the aforementioned time periods (e.g. due to vacancy), the same process shall be followed to offer and award vacant shifts to the employees.
