Prov. Firefighter’s $200K Sparks Calls for Reform; OT in Millions

Tuesday, December 03, 2013

In just the first quarter of FY2014, the City of Providence has expended 63% of its fire overtime budget for the year.

The costs of Providence's fire department may be more serious than the five and six-figure overtimes uncovered by GoLocal last week. City Internal Auditor Matthew Clarkin's first quarter report for fiscal year 2014 projected that the city's $4.7 million fire callback budget is likely on pace to cost more than $1 million over budget for the year.

While GoLocal's recent look at municipal pay in Providence showed that over half of the city's top 40 earners made as much in longevity, detail and overtime than base salary last year,  Clarkin's first quarter budget report to the City Council on November 4 indicated that 63% of the year's fire overtime budget has already been expended.  

City of Providence spokesperson David Ortiz did not respond to request for comment.

In his report, Clarkin noted that while 52 firefighters were added to the department in August -- and the addition immediately decreased the number of callback hours issued -- "budget savings to callback has not been realized through the first quarter of the fiscal year." Clarkin noted that with the addition of an additional 55 firefighters in January, savings in the straight-time salary line item might potentially "offset the over expenditure in callback".

Providence City Councilman Luis Aponte told GoLocal, "There are several issues at play. For a long time, the balancing act in fire was cost savings of different strategies -- a full complement of hiring more officers, to eliminate overtime, or paying out more in overtime as a way to be cheaper than additional salaries and benefits."

"That has gone up and down over time. This administration in the last two budgets promised that they'd bring overtime in line by adding to the compliment," said Aponte, acknowledging the new classes of firefighters being added. "The question is how to you manage this in a way to reduce overtime, but a long view as to owning those firefighters for the rest of their lives -- healthcare, pensions, OPEBs."

However, Monique Chartier with RI Taxpayers took issue with the way the city addressed compensation -- and overtime. "Kudos to GoLocalProv for shining a spotlight on the lavish overtime paid to some Providence employees. It is understandable that these public employees would taking advantage of the very generous terms of their contract. The real problem is a Mayor and a City Council, current and prior, who ratified a contract that includes the opportunity for this amount of overtime. Contracts that include such compensation terms are flat-out indefensible and unaffordable. The power to tax and raise taxes cannot be used as an easy substitute for responsible negotiating and budgeting."

Chartier continued, "And on top of that, fire department overtime is on track to be $1 million more even than budgeted? We are compelled to look ahead and ask: high and climbing - would that become the trend of overtime on the state level under a "Governor" Taveras?

New Firefighters Could Offset Costs

Last year, Vincent D'Ambra, the top paid firefighter -- and municipal employee -- took in more than $115,000 in overtime for total compensation of over $215,000 -- and the highest paid city workers amounted for more than $6.3 million in costs.

In his report issued last month, Clarkin noted that while the city's fire callback budget was reduced in FY2014 to $4.7 million from $8.6 million, through the first quarter of the fiscal year, 63% of the callback budget had been expended.

"Personnel necessary to run the 2nd training academy, current firefighters attending EMT-C school, and an increased effort in the Fire Prevention Division have increased callback hours above what was expected," Clarkin wrote. For FY14, Clarkin's report shows that overtime costs already were $600K in July, $1.6 million in August, and $700K in September.

Providence City Councilman Sam Zurier said that at the core, it was minimum staffing levels that primarily dictated budgetary constraints

"The City’s collective bargaining agreement with the firefighters’ union sets minimum staffing levels for the Department. In order to fill that number of slots every week, it is necessary for a certain number of fire fighters to work a certain amount of overtime. Once the new class of fire fighters graduates from the academy, it will be possible for the new fire fighters to fill many of the contractual time slots now being filled with overtime fire fighters," said Zurier

"The current contract remains in effect until July, 2016. One can ask whether the current contract’s “minimum manning level” is necessary, or whether it could be reduced. In the long run, that number needs to be reduced in order to realize meaningful savings in the Fire Department budget. This may involve closing one or more fire stations, or it may involve reducing staffing at existing stations," continued Zurier. "If the Fire fighters’ union agreed to reductions in the “minimum manning level” savings could be realized over the next few years. If not, then the matter will become a negotiating point in the next contract."

"There are some savings to realize in terms of making ambulance runs more efficient, reducing the number of non-emergency rides (such as for “frequent customer” alcoholics), but the bulk of the cost is related to contractual minimum staffing levels," said Zurier.

Closer Look Needed?

On Monday, GoLocal reported on 2014 Providence Mayoral candidates positions on municipal compensation levels -- with two contenders, Brett Smiley and Lorne Adrain -- pledging to conduct comprehensive staffing reviews if elected to the city's top office (but not highest paid, with Mayor Taveras' ranking 152 for pay on last year's list.)

Aponte noted that closer look at the city's needs -- both staffing and budgetary needs - was warranted.

"There's been a long standing debate as to where the city stands in terms of firefighters to similarly situation cities, similar size, density, et cetera," said Aponte. "We haven't done a study in a while, but we're at the high end of firefighters in the table of organization."

"The question becomes what's the best strategy -- and where do you want to spend the dollars," Aponte continued. "For instance, adding more firefighters means budgeting benefits that incorporate families in healthcare costs. There should be an analysis that has to be both for the short term and long, as to what's what's the best approach. And there have to be conversations with the city, and firefighters union to provide services efficiently, and and most needed."
