Improvement Package Summary
1 of 7
This improvement package would provide for costs associated with accreditation preparation. FY 2016
costs include software to collect and track data (Firehouse Analytics -$3,000), tuition and fees for
accreditation manager to attend 2 courses ($2,000) and associated materials and supplies ($500).
Accreditation is through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, part of the Center for
Public Safety Excellence Inc. The accreditation process will improve Fire Department operations and
create better community engagement. Accreditation requires close scrutiny of all facets of the
operation and policies, which in turn creates better data -driven information to provide the level of
service that the community requires while also meeting industry best practices. If this improvement
package is approved in FY 2017 there would be an additional one-time cost of $5,000 for additional
software, and starting in 2018 $3,500 for on-going classes.
This improvement package supports: Public Safety Goals- 1.7 -Serve the public with integrity,
compassion, competence and open-mindedness. 2.7 -Support appropriate staffing levels and
equipment to serve growth and development. 5.2 -Protect lives and property through the use of trained
personnel, ongoing education, and appropriate equipment, while striving for state-of-the-art technology.
5.3 -Continue to use national standards as a guideline.

This improvement package would provide monitors for five fire stations and camera for
teleconferencing in fire stations. Due to parking restrictions and coverage needs the Fire Department
typically uses the Regional Training Center for classroom -type training and meetings. Six repeating
sessions are used to share information among all members. By making better use of the Go -To -
Meeting program available, and utilizing inspection tablet computers, all stations and the Training
Center will be connected for classroom -style sessions. This project will greatly reduce the miles
traveled by the Fire Department's heavy vehicles. This saves fuel, tires, brakes, and reduces traffic
congestion and will reduce the emissions. Most importantly, it will also maintain fire companies and
ambulances within their designated districts more often. This reduces response times to emergencies.
It is estimated that this improvement package would reduce the miles traveled by 5,000, saving $3,000
annually.
This improvement package supports: Infrastructure Goals: 9.1 -Utilize methods of systems
implementation that make the best use of City's resources for the systems that are implemented. 11.4 -
Investigate usefulness of technological advances to optimize services. Public Safety Goal: 2.2 -Support
safe and efficient vehicles to support efforts of public safety while striving for state-of-the-art
technology. 2.3 -Support communications capabilities with operational personnel and equipment. 5.5 -

This improvement package would provide for replacement of existing alerting components in all six fire
stations. The current system of amplifiers, wiring and speaker components have reached a point of
high -repair and maintenance. A new automatic system throughout will improve the sound quality and
add message boards to relay information for responding personnel. This system also simplifies the
-116-
process of dispatching incidents and reduces the time from call pick up to dispatch while maximizing
dispatcher functionality. The one- time cost of equipment and installation of $425,868 would occur in
FY 2016 and the on-going cost of $ 20,143 for annual support would begin in FY 2017.
This improvement package provides improved response times for emergency incidents along with clear
and concise and consistent information to responders. This improvement package also supports:
Infrastructure Goals: 11.4 -Investigate usefulness of technological advances to optimize services. 11.5 -
