Victory For Dick Bogle In
The Battle Of The Budget
City Commissioner Dick Bogle’s
victory in the “ Battle of the Budget’’
guarantees that no women and minori
ties will be laid off in the Bureau of
Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services.
“ I have never been happier in my
seven years on the City Council,” Bogle
said following the restoration of
$2,730,796 - representing 56 sworn
positions - to the Fire Bureau.
Bogle has fought since last De
cember to prevent cuts in the Fire Bu
reau Budget, knowing that under the
“ last hired, first fired” policy, minor
ity and women firefighters would be
among the first to go.
The other members of the City
Council, however, voted to eliminate
113 sworn positions, assuring that all
three women and seven of the bureau’s
minority male firefighters would lose
their jobs.
Bogle said the original budget cuts
“ threatened to destroy six years of
Affirmative Action efforts that stand as
a model for fire bureaus throughout the
nation.”
The fruits of those efforts were
apparent following a competitive ex
amination in September, 1990, he said.
In that exam, women and minori
ties captured 30 percent of the top 50
spots on the Fire Bureau’s hiring list
The same percentage applies to the top
20 positions.
Those who passed the rigorous
examination include twelve Blacks,
seven Asians, sixteen Hispanics, ten
Native Americans and sixteen women.
Bogle said most of the successful
women and minority candidates com
pleted the Fire Bureau’s Affirmative
Action program offered through Port
land Community College. The demand
ing six-month program requires eve
ning and weekend participation in class
room exercises and physical training.
“ Many of these people stand a
good chance of becoming firefighters,”
Bogle said. “ If funds had not been
restored, no one who made the list
would have been hired, and all that
hard work and dedication would have
been wasted.”
The Fire Bureau restoration was
made possible by an unexpected in
crease of $4.9 million in the City’s
1991-1992 budget. The increase is at
tributed to several factors, including
higher year-end balances due to bureau
savings; fee revenues that were higher
than anticipated, thanks to a healthy
economy, and increases in the assessed
values of property within the city.
Money also was allocated for 19
more police officers, and the hiring of
60 youths in a summer jobs program.
