[Amended 12-18-2018 by Ord. No. 2487-2018; 4-25-2023 by Ord. No. 2661-2023]
A. The firefighters of the Volunteer Fire Department in good standing
who have responded to 30% of the calls for duty in attendance at alarms
and a minimum of 12 drills combined shall annually receive a clothing
allowance as provided in the municipal budget for that particular
year. The clothing allowance percentages shall be calculated on a
calendar year basis (January to December) on alarms and drills attended.
Each company will compute proportionate shares of clothing allowances
for members who have made less than the required attendance of 30%
at alarms and drills for 100% allowance. Any member with 25 years
of service and who is still on the active roll and has a minimum annual
percentage of 15% and attended a minimum of 12 drills shall receive
the 100% allowance as provided in the municipal budget for that particular
year. Members who are on medical leave during the calendar year will
not be penalized for percentage while on medical leave but provide
a doctor’s note to the Captain or designee in order to return
to service.
