Item 8 Passedunofficial

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This ordinance updates the official roster of job classifications and positions in the Austin Fire Department's classified service, creating certain new positions and repealing the previous ordinance that set those classifications. It's the kind of housekeeping move that keeps the department's staffing structure current, but it shapes how AFD is organized and who fills which ranks. Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budgets of Austin Fire.
