DXSCUSSION As a result of recent negotiations with the Fire Management Association, the City has agreed to provide a ten percent assignment pay to an incumbent in the classification of Fire Battalion Chief who serves temporarily in an assignment outside of Suppression and Rescue. This provision already exists for non-management Fire personnel; the subject action will provide the same benefit to Fire Management employees and maintain continuity in specific benefits and incentives between bargaining units in the Fire Department. On October 1, 2001, the Santa Ana City Council adopted Resolution No. 2001-065, providing for additional partially-paid military leave of absence for full-time officers or employees of the City called to active military service with the Armed Forces of the United States in connection with the then-current military crisis, and for continuation of benefits for their dependents. That Resolution also provided that its terms would expire at the end of the fiscal year unless extended by further action of the City Council. 55A-1
