Chief Rhoda Mae Kerr is trying to increase diversity within her management team.

She wants to promote Lt. Matt Orta who is hispanic, Lt. Richard Davis who is African American and Battalion Chief Harry Evans who is white to Assistant Chief and increase their salaries to $120,000 a year.

“It’s change and change does create some conflict, we all know change is difficult,” Chief Kerr said.

Palmer Buck with the firefighter’s nnion says this kind of change is also expensive and sends the wrong message to firefighters during a tough economic time.

“Firefighters can’t have their physical fitness equipment repaired, there’s no budget for it, but we want to approve two new un-needed executive level positions,” Buck asked council members Thursday.

Representatives with the firefighter’s union are also upset that two lieutenants are being promoted to assistant chief, ahead of dozens of higher ranking AFD employees. But city officials say there is a more important goal at stake.

“There’s another struggle taking place here as well and that’s us working toward making the fire department more progressive,” said Assistant City Manager Michael McDonald.

City officials say two AFD assistant chiefs recently retired so the promotions will cost the department only $10,000 more per year.

The Austin City Council still has to approve the promotions but Thursday they voted to postpone the decision until June 11.
