5. If not completely articulated in the prior above tasks,articulate how the City of Decatur can aclueve <br /> full staffing of the emergency communications center in an etcpeditious manner. <br /> The only one of the poiirts he wanted to clarify was the one regarding regional salary comparisons of ECS <br /> personnel. He said they most certainly will do the legwork and provide us with salary comparisons,but <br /> as far as additional benefits go and how that might figure into the entire salary picture as a comparison, <br /> the number cnuiching would be up to us. <br /> He and his personnel have every intention of talking with HR personnel about their current recruitment, <br /> hiring and selection processes and how they compare to others nationwide,as well as making <br /> recommendations regaxding improvement and more expedient methodology. He has two main missions <br /> on his mind with respect to doing the Decatur study. One is taking a global look at our staffing,why it is <br /> short,why it takes so long to get personnel hired,what we can do to improve and expedite our training of <br /> new ECSs,and how to attract more qualified candida.tes to get us up to full staffing as soon as possible. <br /> The second is to look at the troublesome interpersonal issues in the Center and how to ma.ke <br /> improvemexrts in the relationship between the ECSs,their supervisors, and management. <br /> He indicated the workshops,training,etc.,articulated in his contract will be optional for the City. When <br /> they have completed their study of our situation,they will issue a full written report including <br /> recommendations. Some of those recommendations may be training and or workshops. They will detail <br /> what the recommended training or workshops will entail,the topics,the cost,the amouirt of time needed, <br /> etc. It will then be the City's decision as to whether we decide we wairt any of the training or workshops. ! <br /> I am convinced that Mr.Willett and his firm can and will deliver a quality product to the Manager a.nd �� <br /> Council at the conclusion of his study.
