Dear Dr. Daniels:
I am writing to confirm my willingness to serve on the national
panel to investigate allegations of discrimination in the Miami
Fire Department and make recommendations for improvements. I
have enclosed a copy of my resume.
Unfortunately, my schedule is very tight right now. I am not
available on either of the proposed dates for the first meeting,
but I could rearrange my schedule if the May 29, 30, and 31 date
is acceptable to all of the other panel members. The following
weekend, June 5, G, and 7, would be preferable.
Please give me a call if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Daniels,
I have attached a brief resume in narrative form. I called your staff
on Thursday, April 23rd and indicated that the meeting dates of May
29, 30 and 31 were agreeable.
If I can supply any additional information that you might be in need
of, please, at your convenience, give me a call.

Vic Porter
Assistant City Manager for
Public Safety/Fire Chief
87-423
Chief Porter is currently the Assistant City Manager of Public Safety for
the City of Berkeley, California. Berkeley, the home of the University of
California, is a Charter City of 103,000 people. The City, which is located
in the San Francisco metropolitan area, has a City Manager form of government
with nine council members including a mayor and 34 boards and commissions
of over 200 appointed members. Citizen and student participation in Berkeley
government= is extremely active.
As the Assistant City Manager and Fire Chief, Chief Porter is responsible
for administering the Department of Public Safety which includes the City's
Police and Fire departments, the Parking Department (off and on street parking
facilities), Animal Control. (controls the city's animal population as well
as provides animal services for two other adjacent jurisdictions), Division
of Emergency Communications and the Accounting and Financial Division of
the Public Safety Department. The Department of Public Safety works directly
with the Police Review Commission, the Citizens humane Commission and the
Public Safety Subcommittee of the City Council.
Chief Porter's work career of 27 years has been centered primarily within
the public safety field. Chief Porter joined the Fire Department in 1960
and was promoted through all ranks to the position of Fire Chief in 1974.
During his tenure as Fire Chief, Chief Porter has initiated a/an: firefighter
physical conditioning program including medical evaluations and career
physical conditioning goals for each employee; firefighter paramedic program
which provides emergency paramedic services and generates $300,000/year in
revenues for the City; fire prevention inspection fee program which generates
$120,000 each year from inspections performed by fire engines and trucks
in the field; infraction system for code enforcement which provides for the
imposition of civil fines to replace misdemeanor prosecution for fire code
violations and the consolidated emergency police and fire dispatch system
replacing uniformed dispatchers with non -uniformed personnel. Good affir-
mative action progress has been made despite a court action enjoining the
City's affirmative action program in 1975, the passage of state proposition
1.3 in 1973 tirhich greatly restricted City revenues, the elimination of one
fire engine and two fire trucks and the reduction of 49 uniform fire personnel
positions (28'41 of the %,-ork force including 1.7 promotional positions) during
the last ten years. During this reduction, minority representation in the
Fire Department has increased from 17/ in 1974 to 34", nt prescnt.. !'i:,0rity
representation in the Fire Captain and Assistant Chief positions is now 33%
and 60% respectively, whereas in 1974 no minorities held these positions.
Recently the City of Berkeley Fire Department was one of the few departments
which elected to participate in a state firefighter hiring program sponsored
by the California State Fire Marshals Office and the Federated Firefighters
of California. This program called the Joint Apprenticeship Committee
(J.A.C.) in part targets minority groups for recruitment and selection.
As a participant in this program, the Fire Department recently hired seven
minorities out of 12 hires, one of which is the first black woman firefighter
in Berkeley.
In 1982, Chief Porter was appointed as the Assistant City Manager of Public
Safety by City Manager Daniel Boggan, Jr. after successfully competing in
97-420
8'7-42:3
eo
an open competitive examination. Since that time he has been instrumental
in the success of the Public Safety consolidation. As Assistant City Manager,
he is presently the top administrator of the department's 435 employees sup-
ported by a $30 million budget. Chief Porter has been on the City's labor
negotiating team since 1974. During this time he has negotiated several
labor contracts with the•Firefighters Union, the Police Association and the
United Public Employees Union Local 790 (non -uniformed clerical, parking
enforcement personnel, emergency dispatchers and police service assistants).
As Assistant City Manager, Chief Porter represents the City Manager from
time to time during his absence and sits as the hearing officr,r for grievances
originating within the Department of Public Safety.
Chief Porter also serves as a coordinating Council member on the Public
Services Committee. This Committee resides over a system of quality of work -
life circles which are employee -management groups located at all levels within
the work organization. The concept is being funded by a grant and is a new
approach to labor-management relationships designed to resolve issues through
a cooperate effort and mutual representation.
Chief Porter's civic and professional involvement include having served as
president of a 200 member club of business leaders, City staff and the staff
of the University of California; past member of the Board of Governors for
Herrick Hospital, past Board of Directors member of the Berkeley West Contra
Costa Red Cross Chapter, past president of the Alameda County Fire Chiefs
Association and past representative of the California Fire Chiefs Association
to the League of California Cities Committee on employee relations.
Chief Porter has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration,
Personnel Management and a Masters of Public Administration degree from
California State University as well as a Doctorate of Jurisprudence degree
=1 from San Francisco Law School.
