A single annual academy negatively impacts hiring volumes in an already limited qualified candidate pool as applicants often accept employment to the agency that offers them the "earliest" start date, and several local agencies already host multiple academies/year. Generally, the net effect of this process results in CCFD often losing the best qualified candidates to other agencies.]]> 2022-12-08 19:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414764100 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414765981 Currently, CCFD has a significant paramedic shortage (70+). CCFD's goal = 50% mix of FFs to medics; current CCFD FFs are ideal candidates to obtain paramedic certification but have limited availability to attend the required schooling due to their schedules (apprehensive to utilizing excessive leave to attend classes; associated backfill OT negatively impacts the Dept.). CC exec mgmt. has approved CC FFs to attend paramedic school while technically on their regular shift to incentivize enrollment (will ultimately reduce OT and burnout amongst paramedics).]]> 2022-12-08 19:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414765981 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414770958 The pool of available paramedic candidates is extremely limited due to the general lack of availability of certified school "seats" allocated/available to CCFD. In addition, private EMS companies are offering significant signing bonuses (up to $50K) that CC cannot compete with. Today's younger generation tends to prioritize short-term wage compensation vs long-term salaries and benefits that are arguably richer in the public sector. This also results in changing employers more frequently.]]> 2022-12-08 19:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414770958 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414772578 To resolve the limited "seat" availability in local paramedic schools, CC could potentially subsidize existing certification programs by paying for instructors dedicated to CCFD staff/candidates or, possibly, even stand up its own program. Either approach should inevitably allow the Dept. to reach its 50/50 FF to paramedic mix goal quicker than the current projection (5+ years from now). ]]> 2022-12-08 19:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414772578 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414773532 Another recession would inevitably materially impact CC revenues which, likely, in turn would negatively impact resource allocations to CCFD (i.e. stall hiring or subsidies to paramedic schools).]]> 2022-12-08 19:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414773532 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414774537 Large bonuses by private sector paramedic employers, and even by other jurisdictions for both FFs and paramedics, creates an uncompetitive environment as CC would be reluctant to follow suit due to the "Pandora's Box" effect with all of its collective bargaining partners. This becomes even more challenging if a local agency initiates hiring bonuses (impacts not only the candidate pool but potentially existing employees as well).]]> 2022-12-08 19:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414774537 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414779644 Staffing needs to be adequate/appropriate to support the local population and visitor volume.  Accordingly, there needs to be a strategic approach to staffing, equipment, and the location/timing of construction of fire stations.

OT and burnout needs to be addressed. Paramedics are foregoing their credentials ("patch surrender") at a higher pace than normal due to excessive mandatory OT shifts. ]]> 2022-12-08 19:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414779644 navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/5d2aide31psx1kbn/wish/2414786626 Unofficial liaison between CCFD & Finance at the present time.

Additional opportunities may exist with LVMPD to further leverage joint response, training, etc.
