They also discussed the relationship of Class III volunteers and discussed ways to incorporate them into activities and responsibilities. Vol. Steve Goldberg participated in the College /Community Expo on the Commons; 5 members assisted with the annual Pud's Run (Fire Police). Comm. Alexander suggested that the IVFU report regularly at Board meetings and BFC members should make an effort to attend and report at IVFU meetings - both groups need to be more visible. VIII. Department Reports: (see written reports in the Minute Book) Chief Wilbur highlighted his report: - CSEA ratified and approved their contract with the City of Ithaca; IPFFA and Chief Officer's Unit will be meeting to vote on their contract on September 27, 2000; Town of Ithaca Contract talks have not moved at all - the Town has addressed the issue of their tax rate calculation and was resolved in a positive manner; a draft proposal of the Volunteer Company agreement will be done when the Chief comes back from vacation. - Sale of Station 7 - tentative closing on September 19th has been ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS SEPTEMBER 12, 2000 - MINUTES PAGE 3 delayed (lawyers); proceeds from the sale will be used as outlined in the Chief's written report; funds for building safety improvements from a separate capital project (City -wide) will be used to accomplish other work, including, but not limited to, creating accessible entry for the Green Street entrance. - Strategic Planning - developing data to justify budget - news of a public campaign was not well received by Common Council - will refocus campaign to be delivered to political bodies. Chair Romanowski indicated the Town of Ithaca would like to attend budget hearings - need to notify them of the date and time. After budget season, the group will focus attention to larger issues. - As a result of a meeting with the Chief, Acting Building Commissioner Phyllis Radke, and Mayor Cohen, the Mayor has decided to refer this proposal to a committee of Common Council for further study. - Safety Committee - AC Vliet has been off work for a variety of reasons - no report. - Wellness Program - waiting for IC approval from President Williams. - Monthly call report - a very comprehensive package will be available soon. - City Disaster Management Plan - still good efforts being made - most productive work in this area in a very long time. - County Communication and 911 Program - work continues - finally breaking through some difficulties. State Police Major Foley was instrumental in moving things ahead. County has monies in 2001 budget for new center; 800 MHz monies are in place for 2002. Chair Romanowski indicated he received info. that the State is on board with 800 MHz and that Tompkins County could become the State model. Chief Wilbur spoke of the history of 800 MHz and how Jack Miller headed us in the right direction from the very beginning. ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS SEPTEMBER 12, 2000 - MINUTES PAGE 4 - Chief Wilbur also indicated that the Mayor has directed him to back off on his time commitment for this project; Chief is concerned that he, Jack Miller and Lee Shurtleff are the only fire service reps. looking out for our interests and IFD is the biggest County customer. Due to overtime costs, he cannot assign others. - Traffic diverters - Mayor Cohen will be advocating mountable -type barriers for Wood & South Sts. (after discussion with IFD, IPD and Bangs). Chief Wilbur's position is that if IFD can get through, he has no objections. Comm. Kirkpatrick asked about snow removal in the winter - will DPW be pushing snow and ice up against the barriers? Chief Wilbur will talk to DPW about that issue. The Planning Department continues to investigate and plan traffic calming initiatives in many other parts of the City as well. - Steamer Project - wheels are back on - will bring to Central - hopefully done by October. It is hoped that a "ceremonial" trip to the Vets via horses can be done in conjunction with the Memorial Service /Medal Day planned for October 14, 2000. - The Training Center had 200 hrs. of use during the month of August. Maintenance and repairs are being planned prior to winter. Deputy Chief Dorman highlighted his report: - 113 Glen Place fire on 08/26/00 - problems with parked cars - very difficult situation. Has support of City Attorney to assist with rectifying the problems there. - 2 new engines should be received sometime during the month of October. Building of the chassis and the body for the 3rd engine has begun. - Station 7 is cleaned out and ready to go. - Lots of surplus, loose equipment, as well as an aerial scope and ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS SEPTEMBER 12, 2000 - MINUTES PAGE 5 pumper were taken to the Municipal Auction in Lansing. Both vehicles sold for $3,600 each. No, IFD does not get credit for the revenues generated by these sales. Volunteer Coordinator Marcia Lynch highlighted her report: - Marcia indicated that the format of the Volunteer Personnel Report has changed - please see special note on page 2. - When Marcia's job changes to that of Development Director (if approved), she will continue to prepare these reports during the transition phase only. Then someone else will need to keep records and do the reports. - Marcia and the Board discussed Class II & III standard changes that are being considered by IVFU. - Volunteer company status - Marcia discussed Co.'s 1, 4 & 7 that continue to be deficient of required active members - will only receive a pro -rated amount of City contract allocation. None of the companies have complied with the requirement of providing meeting dates and attendance records. These will need to be provided before checks are issued. IX. Old Business - The Chief and the Board continued a discussion regarding the budget campaign. As he's been directed to provide information only to the Mayor and Council, he feels IFD has their attention to our concerns. Chief Wilbur spoke about revenues - when compared with other similar communities - IFD generates far and above the others. Council and Mayor need to understand that IFD is not like other cities (when they are trying to compare). Comm. Alexander indicated the Board is supportive of Chief Wilbur and they have a responsibility to assist with providing information. Chief Wilbur said it is important to keep an ongoing dialog with Common Council and encourage them to engage in public discussions. He will be presenting them with information in installments regarding budget, hazard assessment, risk analysis, what ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS SEPTEMBER 12, 2000 - MINUTES PAGE 6 services we provide, who we provide services to, and how all relates to staffing and revenues. - Some information regarding trends: false alarms are declining, EMS is taking a big sweep upwards, fires are slightly down, hazardous situations are slightly on the increase. - Chief Wilbur met with the IVFU regarding budget issues and the change in the Volunteer Coordinator's position to that of Development Director (grant writer). They (IVFU) are reluctant to take on responsibilities for recruitment and retention; discussed ways the active volunteers can do recruiting; and how companies and the Vets are the vehicle for retention of volunteers. This is a change, all new - will require effort, time and nurturing. - Chair Romanowski feels that volunteers entering the department that are unaffiliated with a particular company is a problem - no particular loyalty - suggests that more effort be made for them to join a company. - Chief Wilbur suggested the IVFU form a labor /management type of approach - similar to the firefighter's union - a good way to be effective, a good forum to discuss issues like uniforms, gear, relationship to career staff, Etc. - Comm. Kirkpatrick asked to have a report prepared that lists what's been done so far with grant writing - submissions, types of grants, possible future grants, etc. Marcia will provide a report. - Chair Romanowski inquired what the City would do with money received from a grant. Chief said it would be like any other revenue; however, grants would have a directed purpose. Board members expressed concern that the Fire Department budget would be cut in the amounts received from the grants. Chief Wilbur explained that it is not the intention of grant monies received to support the budget - the monies are for a specific purpose and could /would include administrative costs that would support Marcia's salary. ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS SEPTEMBER 12, 2000 - MINUTES PAGE 7 X. New Business: - Chief Wilbur asked the Board to match the monies provided by the City for annual employee recognition. He explained the history of the request and feels it is appropriate to do so. After discussion, Chair Romanowski made a motion to authorize $75.00 from the Donation Account for employee recognition. Seconded by Comm. Kirkpatrick. Carried unanimously. - Comm. Alexander believes it is very important that a Board member attend and reports at Common Council meetings. Comm. Yahn had been doing that, but will she continue? Chair Romanowski will check with her and Comm. Alexander offered to do it if she doesn't. XI. Executive Session - not needed. XII. At 1915 hrs. Chair Romanowski made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Comm. Alexander. Carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Christine M.
