The Village Manager updated the Board on the status of the federally funded SAFER Grant. The
Fire Chief was notified of the Village's award of the 5-year SAFER Grant. The Village now
must accept the Grant.
The Village Manager anticipates a high turnover rate in the next 5 years due to a combination of
existing openings, disability, and retirements. Due to the lengthy process needed to train
firefighters and paramedics, the Village Manager suggests the Village accept the grant to remain
proactive to meet future staffing needs. The additional five employees will carry the Village
through the peak retirement years and help bridge the gap between retirements and
hiring/training of new staff. The additional employees are anticipated to reduce overtime costs
by$343,065.00 for Fiscal Year 2009 and reduce overtime by$1.2 million over five years. It was
the consensus of the Board to add the positions now in 2008. In 2013 when the grant is
complete, the Village Board will consider revisiting the authorized strength.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:59 p.m.
