The calculated assumption is that only 85% of the shifts may be filled, which <br />would amount to a duty crew staffing expense of $83,980. (This amount should also cover occasional <br />probationary firefighters’ $25 stipends for shadowing duty crews). <br /> <br /> <br />City of Orono <br />Work Session 11 Sept 2023
