EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In FY 20, FPD had 42 temporary employees with an annual General Fund budget of $968,700. Temporary employment pursuant to Fresno City Charter Section 1000(a)(2) is limited to one year (i.e. 2,080 hours) within any two consecutive fiscal years. By December 31, 2019, approximately 30 temporary employees were eliminated for having met or exceeded the 2,080 hours limit. Currently 12 temporary employees remain. The FPD is requesting 16 permanent full-time positions at an annual cost of $903,800. If the requested positions are approved, the remaining temporary employees will be eliminated as positions are filled or once the 2080 hours limit is met, whichever comes first.
