SOUTH PORTLAND – The South Portland City Council unanimously approved new contract terms for firefighters and fire department officers at its meeting on Monday.

The agreement grants raises for the current fiscal year, the third year of the existing contract inked in 2012, which required parties to return to the bargaining table for the final year, and extends the terms for officers an additional year, to June 30, 2015.

Combined, the new contracts add a total of $32,402 to salaries and wages for the current fiscal year and will boost officer pay lines by $42,987 in the next annual budget.

Officers will get a 1.5 percent pay raise this year and next, with a 2 percent hike allowed for those who have served more than five years.

The weekly stipend paid to officers for holding EMT licenses will jump from $25 to $31.50 for a basic EMT certification, from $30 to $36.96 for EMT-1 and from $40 to $51.94 for the paramedic level. The new rates are retroactive to July 1. Next year, the rates rise to $37.80, $44.10 and $62.58, respectively.

Officers did agree to terminate a longevity stipend of $1.35 per week for each year of service for new officers and freeze the bonus, which had been capped at 20 years, or $27 per week, for current officers.

Fire command officers also have “agreed to discuss” new health insurance plans offered by the Maine Municipal Employee Health Trust.

The 50 members of the firefighters union, including all firefighters below the rank of lieutenant, also have agreed to mid-term health insurance negotiations for new plan options.

Firefighters will each get a 2 percent pay raise effective March 1, 2014. New rates will range from $16.03 per hour for a provisional firefighter to $20.28 per hour for a Level II firefighter with 20 years of service. The EMS coordinator will now make $21.33 per hour.
