ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 13, 2004 - MINUTES PAGE 2 VIII. Department Reports: A. Chief's Report (see complete written report in Minute Book) - Chief Wilbur answered questions and highlighted items as follows: - Comm. Kirkpatrick asked if there was any resolution to the issue of having to reconcile budget account lines as they are overspent (at the time) instead of at the end of year as previous. Chief Wilbur, DC Dorman and Admin. Assistant Eileen Camp met with the Controller and came to no decisive conclusion. Chief Wilbur explained that part of the problem is that the Fire Dept. is not funded for certain items like Emergency Management. The department has been instructed in the past to spend as needed and accounts would be covered at the end of the year. The City Controller is willing to work toward a solution. Along with the above issue, the fact that IFD has received approval to replace the Assistant Chief position, which will make a promotion to that position, a Lieutenant, and then to hire a fire fighter at the bottom; as well as having received permission to replace 3 fire fighters who are retiring - there is no money to cover training costs for 4 new fire fighters. Our only saving grace is there will be a savings in salaries which can be transferred to the training budget line. Another financial consideration is the $60,000 the Town of Ithaca provided to the City to finance one fire fighter position (to accommodate the promotion) - only 1/2 of the monies were allocated to the Fire Department budget - the rest was allocated to other departments! Chief Wilbur will go to the newly formed City Administration Committee to ask for funding for Emergency Management as well as the need to make transfers to accommodate training needs. - Another item discussed with the City Controller was the Fire Department's unusual position of having received a number of substantial donations and grants - making sure that all monies are ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 13, 2004 - MINUTES PAGE 3 allocated properly and accounted for on the Fire Dept.'s behalf. He listed the following: FIRE Act Grant: $132,000 TRIAD HazMat Training Grant 10,000 Private Donation 10,000 Private Donation 200 Sigma Chi donation 600 - Chief Wilbur spoke about the process for promotions and hiring - there will be 4 interviews for the position of Assistant Fire Chief (which will also be the Fire Marshall); 3 interviews for the position of Lieutenant; and there are 15 people being interviewed for 4 fire fighter positions - all very time consuming and intensive considerations, and all needing to be done in a very short period of time. - Chief Wilbur provided many charts showing various statistics for all incidents in 2003 as well as the first part of January 2004. He encouraged everyone to spend some time looking at them and if they have any questions - just ask. - Chief Wilbur reported that Sr. Bunker Mike Collins is reporting, that through a very concerted effort, there will (most likely) be a full fledged bunker training class in August, as well as (most likely) a full fledged new member training class for volunteers. - Other reports provided: 2003 Annual Report of the Juvenile Firesetters Intervention Unit; Fire Investigation Unit - Monthly Activity Report December 2003 B. Deputy Chief's Report (see complete written report in Minute Book). Deputy Chief Dorman highlighted his report and answered questions as follows: - DC Dorman reported the Communication Transition Committee (CTC) has met with representatives from Tompkins County concerning the relocation of the 911 Dispatch Center (addressing their move out of ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 13, 2004 - MINUTES PAGE 4 Central Fire Station). He provided written details that are attached to his report (see Minute Book). Robin Korherr asked if this group was the same one that is addressing the MOU for City police dispatchers moving to the new 911 Center. No, this group is mostly addressing the actual physical move - equipment and IFD dispatching needs. Discussion followed regarding the financial aspects of the City /County MOU for police dispatchers - Chair Romanowski also questions the funds the City will be paying to the County when no other community pays extra for 911 dispatching services (outside of the tax base) as well as the private entity utilizing dispatching services that pays nothing. Robin reported these concerns will be addressed at the Community Services Committee of Common Council. Chief Wilbur reported the funding of the MOU is not in his power to debate; but he is concerned about the performance and accountability aspect of the MOU - he has a new draft for discussion - he will provide Robin with a copy. - Deputy Chief Dorman reported that Lt. Deis is back from Military Leave; the 4 recruit fire fighters to be hired are all authorized and due at the Fire Academy for basic training on February 29, 2004; interviews for the part time Account Clerk Typist position in the office will take place after results are received from the January 10, 2004 Civil Service test. Chair Romanowski expressed his concern at the disproportionate number of support staff for the Fire Department compared with other City departments. IX. Old Business: - Chair Romanowski made a motion to authorize $55.00 be paid from the Donation Account to the Ithaca Flower Shop for flowers from the department for Frank Miller's funeral. Seconded by Comm. Seligmann. ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 13, 2004 - MINUTES PAGE 5 Carried unanimously. X. New Business: - After discussion, the Board decided that the February 2004 meeting will be cancelled: Chair Romanowski will be in Florida, Comm. Taylor is resigning (see next item), department has a very busy month for hiring and promotions, etc. Vice Chair Kirkpatrick will be contacted if there is any business the Board needs to consider during the month. - Chair Romanowski reported he received an e-mail from Comm. Taylor stating that she will be resigning from the Board (for personal reasons) effective immediately and that she will write an official letter of resignation to the Mayor. - Chair Romanowski asked the Board to consider ways to give incentives, to entice people to volunteer at IFD. He would like to consider the feasibility of Community Service Scholarships - a discount on college tuition for students if they volunteer or become a bunker. He would also like to approach City government about giving credit for property or income taxes for people who volunteer. He passed around newspaper articles that he's found from other areas that do similar programs and would like Ithaca to consider similar approaches to recruiting volunteers. Comm. Alexander said the local colleges already have a community service program and possibly we should go through established routes, or have a round -table discussion with existing programs and services. Chair Romanowski would like further discussion of this topic at the March meeting. - Chief Wilbur asked Robin Korherr about the feasibility of Common Council moving their agenda item for Boards and Commissions reporting from the end of the meeting agenda to closer to the beginning of the meeting. He would like to see more information about IFD reported to Common Council, but feels it isn't likely Board members ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 13, 2004 - MINUTES PAGE 6 will stay 'til the wee hours to report on Fire Commission business. She will look into his request. Chair Romanowski inquired if Comm. Seligmann would be willing to make reports to the Common Council. She will get more information and consider his request. XI.

There were only a half dozen cases reported all year. Of these cases, the most serious incident involved an abandoned vehicle on private property that belonged to the parents of one of our clients. The youth who was actually at fault for setting the fire has since moved out of the state in August 2003. Probably the most disturbing trend has been associated with the school districts in the area. Several districts in Tompkins County have had cases of small fires being set. All of the fires were either out at the time of discovery or dealt with very rapidly. All of the cases involved some sort of in -house discipline and a call to a local police agency. That appears to be where the ball is dropped. No one seems to want to call the fire service either through 911 or through the non - emergency line for a chief officer or an investigator. The intervention unit seems to be called just as an after thought. Consequently there maybe a bigger problem out there that's not getting reported. All of the administrators I spoke with said they would make a better effort to call the fire service as one of their initial calls if such an incident occurred in the future. I tried to make clear that this is state reportable incident not only for our records but also for the Department of Education as well. At the Fire Academy this year during the JFS conference, some of the teams reported the same problem with their local school administrators. Not that the school districts were intentionally trying to hide the problem since the police agencies wed. called. It sounds like just plain ignorance or forgetfulness. Other issues that were discussed was the need for more networking between teams and reporting to the National Fire Marshals Association over the internet. The need for better record keeping and compiling statistics makes the case for winning grant monies and letting our local officials know that there is a need for this type of service. Apparently Cortland County and the City of Elmira have created new teams and contacts were made with both. The two greatest challenges so far involved money and personnel (or the lack thereof). Locally this was our greatest hurtle. This year I'll be beating the bushes in -house AGAIN looking for more help. Outside the department there has been some interest sparked at both of the local colleges with child welfare specialists as well as at the local hospital. Our objectives this coming year will be to recruit more people from within the department to help out with the fieldwork and reporting. Externally we would like to see a more formal agreement with our local child health professionals, juvenile justice, and school districts. We would like to create a more cohesive unit instead of patching networks together in a case -by -case situation and then not utilizing the relationship again. Hopefully with the new city administration and the national financial picture looking a little better things will loosen up to fulfill our objectives.

I hope you all had a wonderful and enjoyable holiday. This is no easy way to say this, so I will do my best to get directly to the point. After serious consideration, I have decided to step -down as a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners. While not a decision taken lightly, I feel it is just time for me to conserve my energy for my family, as well as my job. Both require my time and attention and I need to give each the full share. I will formally notify the Mayor of my decision within the next week. I have also decided to not continue appearing on Casey's program. With my work schedule being as it is, the show became one more thing to try and juggle. Casey is aware of my decision. 1 appreciate all of the support and assistance you have given me over the years, and it has truly been my pleasure working with you. Take care and be well ! Jana 1/5/04
