3. Staff M&C Agenda Items to Review
ATH2026-052: Brian Marcos, Fire Chief, explained that the Fire Department is proposing the
reclassification (title change) of the existing Fire Hydrant Inspector position to Operations
Support Program Manager to reflect a substantial expansion in scope, responsibility, and
organizational impact.
This expanded role requires broader organizational knowledge, increased independent
judgment, and regular coordination with multiple divisions and external partners and it
consolidates multiple operational support and compliance-driven programs under a single
accountable administrator, supporting department readiness, efficiency, and continuity.
The budget impact reflects a savings of $11,858 following the recent retirement of the Hydrant
Inspector.
Evan McBrayer, Emergency Management Specialist, presented a brief summary of the following:
