ICED Thuesen provided a copy of the Personnel Authorization Document for the

Committee to review. He briefly discussed the various positions and said this document will become the baseline for future Personnel Authorization Documents and will be utilized during the creation of the FY 18/19 Budget.

The recommendation was to bring this Personnel Authorization Document before the full

Board for approval at the regular March Board Meeting. The Committee addressed the creation of a five year Strategic Plan for SRFECC. The next

Strategic Planning Workshop will include representation from the Unions. Chief Rodriguez suggested that when establishing our future goals we keep in mind they

should be realistic and attainable. The Committee also received an update in Closed Session regarding labor negotiations. B. Personnel Committee

The Personnel Committee met on March 14, 2018, and discussed Policies and Procedures and provided some direction as to how to proceed to update them. The Personnel Authorization Document was reviewed and will be brought before the full Board for approval at the regular March Board Meeting. This document will become the baseline for future Personnel Authorization Documents and will be utilized during the creation of the FY18/19 Budget. The Committee discussed the Strategic Planning Document and felt it important to remember this should be a living document which incorporates future staffing needs,

facilities, marketing and messaging to the field and changes as necessary to maintain relevant goals.

two cases of potential litigation. No action was taken. Employment contract renewals were discussed for Executive Assistant and the

as to why they had not been selected to participate in the program. 6. CED Thuesen attended an SRRCS Finance Meeting. SRRCS is anticipating a cost

increase resulting in an approximate cost of $2,000 per console by 2020. This would be a significant increase to the Center’s budget. The costs per portable radio will also increase, but no specific dollar figure has been mentioned.

week. 4. We have a scheduled CAD restart tomorrow and will transition from SRF2 back to

their mobile solutions last week at our Communications Meeting. 6. Operations has been extremely busy as indicated by the statistics contained in the

dispatch service, but a total of 31,900 calls incoming/outgoing. We had ten “life saves” and 14 working fires, one of which was a fatality.

7. We had open recruitment for dispatchers and will be conducting an entry level written

exam tomorrow, with successful candidates invited to oral interviews scheduled for April 4th.

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING April 10, 2018

COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Chad Wilson Folsom Fire Department Niko King Sacramento City Fire Department

COMMUNICATIONS CENTER MANAGEMENT Joe Thuesen Interim Chief Executive Director Kylee Soares Interim Communications Manager OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE Bob Kingsley Counsel, SRFECC Janice Parker Administrative Analyst 1. The meeting was called to order at 10:44a.m.

2. Chairperson Wilson requested that an item be added to the agenda as item #3 in Open Session: Transportation: Discussion of Additional Vehicle(s) for the Center

3. There was no public comment. OPEN SESSION:

1. Discussion of Preliminary Budget FY 2018/2019

ICED Thuesen provided a handout to the Committee for review. The handout highlighted increases in assessments for the member agencies in the budget for FY 2018/2019. Some of the increases were a result of incorporating into the budget, items that had been assessed separately in the previous fiscal year such as: the Medical Director, Metro E, Intterra, that had been previously funded by grant money, Pulse Point and an estimated West Net cost. Chairperson Wilson asked for more feedback regarding Intterra prior to our committing to fund it as a line item in the upcoming fiscal year. In addition there have been changes to our Cal PERS contributions; potential increase in salaries because of negotiations; as well as an addition of four dispatch personnel for this upcoming fiscal year. The cost of implementing Pro Q.A. will be taken from the CPI.

2. Discussion of Strategic Plan

ICED Thuesen had collected copies of strategic plans from several Comm Centers to review and perhaps use as a model in the creation of our Strategic Plan. The preliminary document we received from MBS to determine costs per call for agencies wishing to join our JPA has been very helpful in providing insight into potential future Center needs.

The strategic plan should focus on five years out, but have an eye on the larger 20-year picture. By projecting out, member agencies are better able to prepare funding mechanisms for future Center needs. The Committee felt that we should also review the JPA by-laws regarding contracted agencies as well as new member agencies and the volunteers with regard to cost per call assessments. ICED Thuesen will work with Assistant Chief Johnson to explore a facilitator to assist with the orchestration and creation of the Strategic Plan.

14

3. Transportation: Discussion of Additional Vehicle(s) for the Center

The initial request had been for the procurement of three additional Center vehicles. ICED Thuesen said we no longer have a need for three vehicles, but rather a single additional vehicle, initially a hybrid sedan and then at a future date, a four-door truck, to supplement our existing transportation pool. The Committee recommended selling our current 12-passenger van and utilizing the revenue to purchase the 4-door truck and using the budgeted transportation funding to purchase the hybrid sedan at the same time. These two vehicles would be more beneficial to the Center than retaining a van we use very infrequently. All Center vehicles will have standard markings.

OPEN SESSION:

1. Discussion of Policies and Procedures

We have no revised or new policies and procedures to bring before the committee. However, we havebegun working on them.

2. Discussion of Strategic Plan

The full Board had directed CED Thuesen to begin creating a strategic plan. We have copies ofstrategic plans from several Comm Centers on which to base our model, but we are seeking furtherdirection on how to proceed.

Assistant Chief Johnson said that Metro Fire had engaged the services of a facilitator to initiate theprocess, help to create long range goals and to keep everyone on track. Using a facilitator will alsoallow CED Thuesen to be an active participant in the creation of the document rather than simply amoderator.

CED Thuesen will meet with Assistant Chief Johnson to secure a facilitator.

The preliminary document we received from MBS to determine costs per call for agencies wishing to joinour JPA has been very helpful in providing insight into potential future Center needs.

Assistant Chief Johnson said that he had received an official request for a feasibility study for dispatchservices from Rocklin/Lincoln Fire. He also suggested that we review the JPA by-laws regardingcontracted agencies as well as new member agencies with regard to the difference in cost per callassessments.

Committee members agreed that the strategic plan should focus on five years out, but have an eye onthe larger 20-year picture. By projecting out, member agencies are better able to prepare fundingmechanisms for future Center needs.

*Effective Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) practices are based on the consistent use of medically approved dispatch protocols. EMD or the Medical Priority Dispatching System (MPDS) is in part based on published standards of the International Academy of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) in consultation with the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Medical Association (AMA), and more than 30 years of research, development, and field testing throughout the world. Overall, the dispatch protocols are established by the IAED Board of Fellows, which is also responsible for setting the accreditation process of the International Academy. Per IAED, the Quality Improvement/Assurance standards require a consistent, cumulative MPDS incident case review of at or above the stated baseline percentage.
