- $52,278.72 Annually - Full Time
City of Sacramento, CA

The City of Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, was founded in 1849, and is the oldest incorporated city in California. In 1920, Sacramento City voters adopted a City Charter (municipal constitution) and a City Council-City Manager form of government, which are still used today. The City Council consists of a Mayor elected by all City voters, and Councilmembers elected to represent the eight separate Council districts in the City. Each district is a separate geographical area with a population of about 51,000 residents. Each Councilmember must be a registered voter and live in the district they represent. Elected members serve 4 year terms and elections are staggered every two years in even numbered years. (Council District Information, including summary report of population and racial statistics). The Council establishes City policies, ordinances, and land uses; approves the City's annual budget, contracts, and agreements; hears appeals of decisions made by City staff or citizen advisory groups; and appoints four Charter Officers, a City Manager, City Attorney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk. Councilmembers serve on several working committees, such as Law and Legislation, and Personnel and Public Employees. In 2002, City voters amended the City Charter and established a Compensation Commission to set the compensation for the Mayor, Council members and public members of City boards and commissions. This Charter Amendment also established the Mayor's position as a full-time job. The City also has a Legislative Affairs Unit; it's primary purpose is to advocate, coordinate and advance the City's legislative agenda to enhance the City's ability to govern and provide essential municipal and community services.

L522 Benefits Summary

https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/content/dam/portal/hr/Divisions/Benefits/benefitsummaries/benefitsummary_522.pdf

Fire Recruit is a training-level classification that exists solely for those who are completing their initial Sacramento Fire Department Training in the Sacramento Regional Fire Academy. Fire Recruits undergo a formal training program that meets the California State Firefighter 1 curriculum standard. Academy instruction includes basic training in firefighting methods, equipment operations, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and physical fitness. Successful completion of this Academy is required, even if similar training has been achieved elsewhere. Failure to complete the Academy successfully will be cause for release from City employment. Upon completing the training requirements and graduation from the Academy, a Fire Recruit is eligible for probationary appointment to Firefighter (EMT or Paramedic).

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Fire Recruit is a non-career developmental classification used to recruit and prepare qualified candidates for advancement to the journey-level classification of Firefighter (EMT or Paramedic). Incumbents in this class undergo a formal training program in the Sacramento Regional Fire Academy, where they receive their California Firefighter 1 certification upon completion. Under close supervision, the Fire Recruit must gain an understanding of lifesaving and firefighting methods through intensive academic instruction and specialized training. Classroom academics, hands-on training, and daily physical fitness training will be required.

Upon satisfactory completion of the training and graduation from the Academy, a Fire Recruit is eligible for a 12-month probationary appointment to the career classification of Firefighter (EMT or Paramedic).

Fire Recruit is distinguished from the Firefighter (EMT or Paramedic) in that the former is a recruiting and training level classification, and incumbents do not perform emergency duties outside of closely supervised training drills. Firefighter (EMT or Paramedic) is a journey-level classification, and incumbents are expected to perform the full range of responsibilities of a Firefighter (EMT or Paramedic).
