SBM Duty Crews
end
Background
Interim SBM Fire Chief Dan Retka provided a quarterly department update at the August 15 Workshop. Chief Retka informed City Council that he has concerns about future recruitment of volunteers and would like to explore the option of duty crews.
Staff Recommendation
Staff concurs that duty crew staffing is a viable option that would support the current SBM volunteer model, while expanding our ability to recruit new volunteers in the community, assist with response times, and potentially lower fleet costs.
Question for Council: Is Council supportive of SBM exploring the option of duty crews?
