General; Duration. The following are considered Specialty Assignments as listed in Section 9.6 of this MOU: Employees requesting designation to a specialty assignment as described in this section will be considered in accordance with the experience and education guidelines established by the Fire Department. The Fire Chief or designee shall have sole discretion in designating personnel to these assignments. The responsibilities and key tasks of a designated assignment are documented in the Fire Department’s role descriptions. All specialty assignments will be for an initial two year term. Employees may only cancel their assignment during the initial two year term under mutual agreement of the Fire Chief. Continuation beyond the initial two year term will be at the discretion of the Fire Chief or designee. If a designated employee is not able to adequately meet the requirements of the role as determined by the Fire Chief or designee, then the Chief or designee can discontinue that assignment at any time deemed necessary. Such removal in and of itself shall not constitute a disciplinary action, and therefore shall not be grievable or appealable.
