Station Assignments. The City will determine the staffing levels for each station and the methods to assign available personnel to each station. The City will provide employees with advance notification of the station where they will be working, but reserves the right to change assignments in order to meet changing staffing needs.
Station Assignments a. Firefighters are assigned by the Fire Chief to specific Fire Stations with consideration to skill sets (this includes EMT-P certification, Fire/EMS Instructor certification, specialized teams or skills, EMS/Maintenance Coordinator assignments, and other pertinent operational skills and training). A ratio of at least 2:1 EMT-P to non-EMT-P should be maintained at each station. This ratio does not supersede Article 25, Section 1. The Chief will also take into consideration the desires of individual Firefighters who want to be at a specific station.
b. In the event of a full time temporary transfer, then those vacancies are filled voluntarily based on seniority. If no one accepts the temporary transfer then the member with the least seniority is assigned.
c. At no time shall the number of part-time firefighters equal or outnumber the number of full-time staff at any station, regardless of certification.
Station Assignments. The City agrees to maintain a Standard Procedure Manual Policy regarding a method by which employees may express their preference for station assignments.
Station Assignments. (A) All non-probationary employees assigned to the 24/48-hour work schedule shall bid their apparatus assignment. Apparatus assignments will be selected based upon time in grade and seniority.

Station Assignments a) A "Bid System" shall be utilized to assist with personnel assignments to platoon, station and apparatus. The "Bid System" shall not supersede Article 1, MANAGEMENT RIGHTS of this Agreement, nor shall it infringe upon any management rights contained therein.
Station Assignments. COUNTY shall have the management right to determine and adjust station assignments at any time, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding any provision of this Article or any past practice to the contrary. Any such change in an employee’s station assignment does not constitute disciplinary action and may not appealed. In no event shall a change in an employee’s station assignment, whether temporary or permanent, entitle the employee to compensation for any additional miles driven or time spent commuting to the new station. Notwithstanding the foregoing, COUNTY recognizes that covered employees have an interest in station placements. In instances where COUNTY finds that it does not have a management need to exercise its right to determine and adjust station assignments, the County shall allow any open station assignment to be filled by the seniority bid process. Only employees with an overall “competent” or “meets standards” evaluation as measured by the last annual performance evaluation will be guaranteed a seniority bid. Upon request, COUNTY shall consult with ASSOCIATION prior to any management decision related to station assignments; COUNTY shall not make such decisions arbitrarily or capriciously.
Station Assignments. When a vacancy, which the City Manager authorizes to be filled, exists within the ranks of a particular fire station, the Fire Chief shall post on all fire station bulletin boards notice of such vacancy so firefighters may bid to fill the vacancy. Bids shall be submitted to the Fire Chief within three (3) days after the date of posting. The Fire Chief shall fill the authorized vacancy based on the bids submitted by the firefighters, provided such assignment is in the best interest of the overall professionalism and fire response capability of the Fire Department. The Fire Chief’s refusal of a bid station assignment shall be accompanied by the show of cause for such denial. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the Fire Chief from transferring a firefighter so assigned. When a shift vacancy occurs, the vacancy shall be filled, then the Xxxxx Xxx attached to the vacancy shall be submitted for seniority bid to those employees on the same shift who desire to bid the vacated Xxxxx Xxx. The change in Xxxxx Days shall not necessitate the payment of any additional hours beyond the hours normally paid during the 21 day cycle nor shall it necessitate the payment of overtime.
