She asked for clarification on several components of the report including the <br />meaning of the Fair Labor Standards Act with regard to overtime. She also pressed for answers <br />concerning the staffing of Stations 6 and 11 (on the beach); reclassifications of paramedic <br />lieutenants; who will bear the cost for training toward dual certification; and concerns about the <br />beach stations being used for training. She believed the consolidation plan to be unfair to <br />, <br />paramedicswas concerned it would downgrade service on the beach, and was still not convinced <br />it would result in a cost-savings to the County. She also believed the County should return the <br />paramedics to the hospital for continuum of care for cardiac patients and questioned the <br />percentages of increase in firefighter salaries. <br />October 18, 2005 <br />2 <br />E.S.D. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
