Inspectors when on stand-by will always be readily available by department assigned pager and cell phone. Inspectors on stand-by will be able to be on scene at an emergency within Livermore or Pleasanton within one hour of being paged after work hours. Inspectors will be called out when the Incident Commander cannot reasonably establish a cause and origin for fires, and or needs additional personnel for command post functions such as public information officer or plan' s section duties. If during normally scheduled work hours an Inspector assigned Investigation stand-by duties is paged to respond to an emergency while on a scheduled meal break, the so affected Inspector will have the interrupted time to the nearest whole hour compensated for by a shorter work day that day, or if that cannot be accomplished, the appropriate amount of overtime or compensatory time will be earned.

Uniform changes initiated by the Department shall be made at the expense of the Department. All employees covered by this Agreement shall wear the same uniforms. The annual uniform maintenance allowance for suppression personnel shall be $312.00, payable the first pay day in April of each year; provided, however, that if the payment date follows by less than six (6) months the date of appointment of such an employee, no such uniform maintenance allowance for said employee shall be forthcoming until the succeeding annual payment date.
