The department discussed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish temporary overhead appointments as they develop a Wildland Division, allowing Administrative Chiefs to serve in secondary/tertiary roles on wildland incidents and Operations personnel in primary roles. The plan includes using overhead personnel for Training during the work week, allowing them to act as backup command or extra firefighters after hours, and adjusting personnel assignment policies, but the MOU was tabled until the June 10 meeting for clarifying language on wages. This indicates an active organizational build‑out for wildland operations and deployment of overhead staff, but no vendors have yet been tied to training, equipment, or incident management tools.Vendors focused on wildland firefighting services, incident management systems, training programs, and staffing/overhead management solutions could engage ahead of the June 10 revisit to position offerings that support this new Wildland Division and its evolving staffing model.

Administration intends to reduce maximum personnel drawdown on assignments from 8 to 6 and control approval of individual IMT assignments, indicating future needs in staffing visibility and deployment management.
