Improvement Package Summary
1 of 10
The improvement level decision package request is for the addition of one firefighter position ($84,487) as
part of the schedule to add positions for future staffing of additional fire units for an additional west end fire
station as development and annexation occurs. This project begins the process of expanding the employee
compliment to staff additional apparatus in the future. Beginning in FY2020, one new firefighter would be
added, one additional firefighter would start in FY 2021 as well. In FY2022, four more firefighters would be
added. In FY2023, two firefighters would be added, and the remaining four would start in FY 2024 (for a
total of 12 positions). The current minimum staffing per shift is 22, with 28 personnel assigned to cover
leave. During the build up of positions before a fire station is constructed, the additional personnel will
reduce the need for overtime (-$16,200) as each shift will have more positions available to cover vacations
and other leave. This advantage will diminish once the new engine and ambulance are placed in service in
FY2014.

This improvement package would provide funding for additional fire department overtime in order to provide
two, two-day sessions of a summer Emergency Services Youth Camp. Request provides overtime staffing
for 2 camps, one for middle -school age and another for high-school age youth who are interested in learning
about public safety careers. This program would be done in partnership with the police department to
provide a comprehensive recruitment tool. Each camp would include two days filled with fire and police
activities and learning. Recruitment of a diverse candidate pool is a priority for both the police and fire
departments, and introducing local youth to these careers works toward that goal. This request supports the
City Council Goal - Financially Responsible, High -Performance City Organization: Sustainable, Equitable,
-91-
and Effective Service Delivery.

This improvement package would provide funding for a maintenance contract for annual service and upkeep
of 11 patient movement devices (power -lift cots, power -load modules, and stair chairs). This request would
provide for inspection and recommended maintenance by an authorized service technician to maintain
warranties and serviceability of ambulance cots and other powered patient movement devices.
Maintenance of these devices is critical in providing a high level of safety, protection and reliability while
moving ambulance patients. Modern patient movement equipment has a more complicated systems that
require special knowledge and tools to properly maintain. This request supports the City Council Goal -
Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe.

This improvement package would provide funding for the purchase of a clothes washer and dryer in each
fire station. Fire contaminated clothing is a leading cause of firefighter illnesses, including several types of
cancer. Industry best -practice is to clean uniforms and other soft goods immediately after exposure.
Clothing may also be contaminated with blood or other body -fluids. Providing wash and dry capabilities in-
house reduces the contaminate exposure and eliminates the danger of employees taking contaminated
clothing home were it can be mixed with family laundry. Dryers would also provide a means of reducing bed
bug exposure on uniforms, bedding and other soft goods. Bed bugs are often found at locations the fire
department responds to. This request supports the City Council Goal - Vibrant Community: Healthy and
Safe

This improvement package would provide funding for a consulting stipend for the Ambulance Medical
Director. The ambulance activity requires a physician medical director to oversee protocol and review
operations. In the past, this position has been filled by medical doctors volunteering time to provide the
oversight. This stipend would help offset costs for medical director education, or increased involvement in
fire department training. This stipend would also make it easier to recruit doctors for this position. This
request supports the City Council Goal - Financially Responsible, High -Performance City Organization:
Sustainable, Equitable, and Effective Service Delivery.

This improvement package would provide funding for a flammable storage cabinet to store arson and other
evidence of a hazardous nature. The Police and Fire Department often collect evidence that may contain
flammable products (small gasoline containers) that are not able to be safely stored in the Police evidence
room. This request provides a safe and secure storage cabinet at Fire Headquarters that would maintain
-92-
the chain -of -evidence and allow for potentially hazardous evidence items to be stored according to fire code.
This request supports the City Council Goal - Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe.

This improvement package would provide funding for storage rack to be installed at Fire Headquarters for
storage of firefighter protective ensembles. Industry best -practice is to store spare firefighting clothing
(turnout gear) away from living spaces to reduce exposure to fire by-products. Gear should also be stored
out of direct sunlight and UV rays. Storage racks would provide space to remove this gear from a living
space closet and safely store it out of the light. The overall costs for this clothing are reduced as proper
storage improves the serviceability and life of the garments. Proper storage also helps meet employee
safety and wellness goals. This request supports the City Council Goal - Vibrant Community: Healthy and
Safe

This improvement package would provide funding for the modification of the interior wall layout at Fire
Station Two at 2180 JFK. The installation of a new interior wall would provide better use of space and create
a larger exercise area. The modified interior wall would also provide dividers between beds to improve
privacy and better functionality of the bedroom. This request supports the City Council Goal: Vibrant
Community: Healthy and Safe.

This improvement package would provide funding for the upgrade of the small sport utility vehicle assigned
to the Fire Marshal with a pickup truck. The current sport utility vehicle has been inspected and qualifies for
replacement in FY 2020. A pickup truck would provide advantages for the Fire Marshal duties. The small
sport utility vehicle does riot provide for separation of fire -contaminated items from the passenger
compartment. The Fire Marshal carries investigation tools, and often transports fire -contaminated (soot and
smoke) evidence items in the course of work. Best practice in the industry is to separate the potentially
cancer-causing contaminated items from the passenger compartment of vehicles. Such tools, protective
clothing and evidence would be separated in the cargo area of a pickup truck. This request supports the City
Council Goal - Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe.

This improvement package would provide funding for the longevity pay benefit that is consistent with the
longevity received by Fire Bargaining Unit employees for employees in the classifications of Assistant Fire
Marshall, EMS Supervisor and Assistant Fire Chief. Fire Bargaining Unit employees obtained the enhanced
longevity benefit through arbitration. Approving this request would address the compression in salaries that
-93-
has occurred as a result of the Fire Bargaining Unit employees receiving a lucrative longevity benefit. This
relates to the City Council goal of "Financially Responsible, High Performance City Organization.".
