The City hereby elects to participate in the programs provided for in the Illinois Fire Protection Training Act 1 .
Before an individual may commence regular full time employment as a firefighter, he must have been certified by the Illinois State Fire Marshal as a firefighter II, as having successfully completed an approved training course as provided in said Act.
The firefighter II certification must be completed by the trainee within his probationary period of twelve (12) months. Failure of any trainee to complete such basic training and certification within the required period will render that individual and local governmental agency ineligible for reimbursement funding for basic training for that individual in the fiscal year in which his probationary period ends. The individual may later become certified without reimbursement. (Ord. 2260, 9-8-1987)
