Effective the first full pay period following City Council adoption of the MOU in the 2023- 24 fiscal year, Fire employees may be compensated at the discretion of the Fire Chief at the rate of one and one-half times (1.5x) their current 56-hour base hourly rate (no additional pays such as management pay, longevity, etc.) for non-regular hours worked on a Strike Team outside of the Petaluma fire service area, where a written agreement exists that provides for cost reimbursement at the specified rate (if the agreement provides for a lower rate, pay will be based on the contract rate). Fire employees who normally work a 40-hour schedule will have their current 40-hour base hourly rate converted to the equivalent 56-hour base hourly rate (no additional pays such as management pay, longevity, etc.).
