Benson, County Administrative Officer/Personnel/Risk Manager; Discussion and Possible Action Regarding County Fire Department Operational Issues BOARD ACTION: Chair Turpin thanked all of the concerned citizens for attending. Rick Benson presented the staff report and reviewed the three areas of concern: volunteer recruitment and retention, fire stations, and vehicles. He reviewed possible solutions for purchasing equipment and funding options and sources, and options for providing service. He also reviewed recommendations for providing fire protection, including the formation of a new County Service Area (CSA) dedicated to provide funding for fire equipment and facilities. He advised that his recommendation is to initially lease purchase three fire engines and one water tender. He recommended that the Fire Chief continue to work together with CAL FIRE and MPUD (Mariposa Public Utility District) to coordinate fire protection efforts, and that the County Administrative Officer and the Fire Chief continue to explore other funding options. Discussion was held and it was clarified that the definition of an “unimproved parcel” would have $10,000 or less of improvements – the proposed annual fee for an improved parcel is $80 and for an unimproved parcel is $16 for a period of fifteen years. The assessment would be placed on top of the assessment that was recently adopted for the Don Pedro area for the Amador Plan, and Supervisor Turpin expressed concern with this. The only exemption to the assessment would be the area in the MPUD boundary because their primary fire service is not being provided by the County. Further discussion was held. Jim Wilson, Fire Chief, advised that he was present to support the County Administrative Officer and to answer any questions. Input from the public was provided by the following: Dick Hutchinson clarified that he asked the Fire Chief to approve the email he sent out; however, it was from him personally and he stated he feels it is important to take care of the fire issues. Al Ransom asked whether the County would contribute to the costs of the new engines or whether the purchase would be covered by the assessment; and Rick Benson responded. Al Handy asked about the life expectancy of an engine and whether the County is reimbursed when equipment is sent out-of-county. Jim Wilson responded relative to the fire standards that allow for 20 years of service, with an option for refurbishing for an additional five years of service; and he advised that the County is compensated for out-of-county response. Tom Hull, Captain for Station 29, urged the approval of the purchase of 12 new engines and 4 water tenders; and he noted that what is being purchased is safety for the firefighters and for the public. Cathy Middlested noted that her friends could not escape the recent Southern California fires and expressed concern with the fire danger here; and urged the purchase of the 12 engines and equipment. She disagrees with hiring an outside consultant to review the status of the Fire Department and feels the Board needs to make the decisions; and she does not support more taxes. Patricia Wight, Farmers Insurance Agent, urged the Board to purchase what is needed for a safe department; and she noted that the equipment affects the insurance ratings and premiums. Paul Ballard advised that he was in environmental safety for Laguna Beach and he referred to funding sources they used and possible dual use of equipment with Homeland Security. He showed an ISO rating map for the County and recent newspaper stories of the fires in Southern California, and he noted that lower ISO ratings will not result in an effectual change in loss. Karen Smith advised that her family is on a fixed-income; however, an $80 assessment would be less than an increase in their homeowner’s insurance premium. Ron Setterberg stated he would like to see the Board get the new engines for safety reasons; and he questioned the response time to outlying areas and medical response if the County contracts with CAL FIRE for fire protection service. Ruth Catalan noted that an $80 assessment a year equals about $1.53 a week, and she feels hers and everyone’s life is worth that. ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 1-15-08 Jan Hamilton, Chair of the Fire Safe Council, stated she support the Fire Chief and fire fighters and appreciates the work on these issues that was done by the County Administrative Officer. She hopes that working together we can come up with a solution. Dan Smith, Captain of the Hunters Valley Station, noted they have a wide response area and their engine will only go twelve miles per hour and they need equipment that will go faster. He agrees with the need to get at least three engines. Steve Sula, volunteer firefighter from the Don Pedro area, advised that they will continue to respond, but they need better equipment. A lady fire fighter from the audience noted that the pay they receive is the “thank you” they receive; and she advised that they will provide the hand if the Board will provide the tools. Dick Hutchinson suggested that the increase in the transient occupancy tax (TOT) be used to help fund the purchase. Dwight Good, member of the Fire Department since 1982, referred to the previous history of these discussions and the subsequent purchase of two or three engines, and he stated he feels the ability to provide service is lower today. He urged the Board to support the acquisition of the new equipment and to not make the same mistake again. Al Ransom noted that the County found money to build the Government Center and the Compost Facility, and he feels that this is more important. Ella Jensen, member of the Chowchilla Mountain Women’s Club in Ponderosa Basin, stated they support Chief Wilson and urged the Board to proceed with obtaining equipment given the fire dangers. Leroy Radanovich noted that there is discussion scheduled on the Board’s agenda for January 22nd relative to tourism. He stated he agrees with setting up a district and with purchasing all of the equipment; and as the revenue comes in, the assessment could be reduced. John Warner advised that he helped develop the Bootjack Fire Department in 1979; and he advised of the subsequent training and experience with the equipment. He urged the Board to find a program to get the equipment now. A lady from the audience stated she feels that the purchase of three engines and a water tender is a bandage; she feels we need the twelve engines. Dennis Buck, Captain of MPUD, thanked Chief Wilson for his outstanding job and the County Administrative Officer for his presentation; and he provided input on the need for good equipment and to remember what our loved ones are worth. He stated he does not feel that the people will like a property tax increase. He noted that asking where three engines will be placed is like asking what firefighters the Board values the most. Steve Kitchen, volunteer fire fighter and Captain of the Mt. Bullion Station, stated he knows the engines need to be replaced and he referred to his fire fighting experiences with the equipment. They feel uncomfortable with the existing equipment and do not feel that three engines and a water tender are enough. Tom Phillips, professional fire fighter for almost thirty years, provided input on the history of the fires in the County. He noted that they all start small and if we have the equipment, they will not get bigger. Jim Dulcich, Chief of MPUD, referred to the suggestion to use the TOT revenues and he noted that the tourists have an impact on the Fire Department services; i.e., river rescues and response to accidents; so he feels it would be appropriate to use those funds for the engines. John Faleski stated he would be happy to pay the $80 assessment. He is a Battalion Chief for the County, and he commented on his inspection business for insurance companies for homeowners insurance, and he noted that it is getting harder to get insurance in the County. He feels we need equipment that will not fail. Bernard B. advised that he is in the real estate lending business and he referred to the ISO standards; and he advised that he provided information to Chief Wilson on compressed air foam units and he urged that the fire fighters have the best equipment and that these units be included. Don Weston, previous Chief of the Bootjack Station, advised of his involvement in forming the Volunteer Firefighters Association; and he is encouraged by Chief Wilson’s recruitment efforts. He ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 1-15-08 advised that he feels health, welfare, and safety should be top priority and we need to remember the service provided by the volunteers. Kevin Jackson referred to his fire fighting experience with several agencies and now with County Fire as a volunteer; and he commented on the equipment and training that is involved. He advised that he is willing to contribute to the new engines, and he asked for a show of hands from the audience and the Board members as to how many are willing to contribute $100 a year. Kevin Cann cautioned that not all of the financial eggs should be in one basket; i.e., the TOT or the assessment. He urged the purchase of twelve engines and four water tenders, and suggested that they be balanced out as to how they will be funded. Debbie Crawford, Chowchilla Mountain Women’s Club, advised that her husband was a volunteer and she feels that if we need twelve of something, then that is what should be purchased to help make the County safe. Cathy Middlested asked whether the possibility of obtaining grant funding has been investigated. Chair Turpin advised in the affirmative. Linda Butler, Station 24 in the North County, commented on how slow the engines go. Dennis Buck stated he feels this is a good time to make the purchase as interest rates are in our favor and manufacturers are hungry for the business. He urged the Board to find the courage to make this commitment and he advised hat they have the courage to provide the service. He noted that our loved ones need to be remembered and we need better equipment and can work together to work this out. A member of the audience stated the funds should be found to purchase new equipment. Tom Hull, volunteer fire fighter for 26 years, provided input on his experience with fighting fires and having the hose go limp because the equipment does not function properly. He noted that if only three engines are purchased, the nine remaining engines will still have this potential problem. Richard Shelton asked about the status of fire equipment maintenance budget, and he noted that his engine will need a new air compressor. Dora Lane commented on their experiences with her husband being a volunteer fire fighter, and she urged the Board to take care of the fire fighters by providing better equipment. She suggested that their be a tour of the stations and test rides with the equipment so that the citizens will understand the need for better equipment. John Musick, Don Pedro area, stated he feels that with the savings in maintenance and the Tobacco tax revenues, that only $30,000 to $50,000 more a year will be needed. Sheridan Warner, near Ponderosa Basin and volunteer fire fighter for 30 years, provided input on his experience with fighting fires and the need to have better equipment to save lives. 4:07 p.m. Recess 4:20 p.m. Chair Turpin thanked everyone for their input. Rick Benson clarified that all sources are still being reviewed for funding and that his recommendation for purchasing three engines and one water tender at this time is because funding is identified that can be used. He noted that the savings in maintenance costs will be used toward a replacement fund. Discussion was held relative to the CSA process and the purchase of the equipment and funding options. Jim Wilson provided input on the recruitment efforts and advised that they have increased their volunteers by 51 since June 1st. (M)Pickard, (S)Fritz, direction was given to the County Administrative Officer and the Fire Chief to bring back a lease purchase agreement for twelve engines and four water tenders with the necessary documentation and budget action; and direction was given to begin the process to initiate the CSA. Supervisor Pickard stated he agreed with continuing to work with MPUD and CAL FIRE to coordinate fire services. Supervisors Pickard and Fritz clarified that the motion to lease purchase the equipment is not dependent on the assessment passing. Further discussion was held relative to the motion and not identifying a funding source for all of the equipment at this time, and other financial obligations facing the County. Supervisor Pickard noted that the CSA is needed for this to be successful. County Counsel clarified that today’s action is direction to staff and a budget action will still be needed to appropriate the funds. Supervisor Pickard restated his original motion. Ayes: Aborn, Fritz, Pickard; Noes: Bibby, ---PAGE BREAK--- 8 1-15-08 Turpin.
