The budget increase, which was unanimously passed by the city council Wednesday, aims to retain more fire department staff
Santee has approved increase in pay for its firefighters in an effort to retain more firefighters by making their salary more comparable to those of other local fire districts throughout San Diego County.
“We went classification by classification to try and make sure that we were paying them at the same level that they’re getting in other places around the county so we’re not losing them to other cities around the county as we have in the past,” he said during the council meeting. Per the new contract, all fire department staff under the union will retroactively receive a 4 percent cost of living adjustment effective July 6, 2023, and a 6 percent pay increase on Jan. 1, 2024. Another pay increase of 4 percent is scheduled to take effect for all fire staff tiers on July 1, 2024. Fire engineers will also receive a 1.25 percent pay increase starting Jan. 1, 2024.
