VIII. Department Reports:
A. Chief's Report - Chief Wilbur provided a verbal report as follows:
- Capital Projects requests - DC Dorman is working on the submittal -
we have missed the June 2nd deadline. The most pressing need is for
small vehicle replacement. Our newest vehicle in the fleet is a 1997
Jeep that was handed down by the Police Dept.! It was used for the
ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS
JUNE 8, 2004 - MINUTES
PAGE 2
canine unit, and we cannot get rid of the bad smell inside the vehicle! A
list of the rest of the small vehicles are as follows:
- 963 which is 9 years old is absolutely beat!
- 3 1995's
- 2 1996's
- 1 1990 pickup truck
We have submitted requests to replace these vehicles (certainly not all
at once) - for the last 5 years with no approvals!
- Regarding the spread sheet of operating account balances, Chief
Wilbur noted that the large increase in use of the overtime account is
attributable to employees not utilizing "acting officers" - it's a
voluntary assignment and if no one volunteers, an officer needs to fill
the slot at an overtime rate; and because of the slowdown in contract
talks, it appears there may be no relief in the near future . The
pattern changed in mid -May and will continue for an undetermined
amount of time - we can assume it is a labor contract issue. However,
this will create a huge dent in other things the department will be able
to due ie bunker training, etc.
- Chair Romanowski asked if the boat we purchased from the Sheriff's
Dept. needed extensive repairs. Chief Wilbur said we spent about $700
and is all set. We are currently working on installing lights, sirens,
lettering, etc. The old IFD boat will be transferred to the Water &
Sewer dept. and will also serve as a reserve boat for IFD. We will be
using $5,000 from the Lockheed Martin donation plus W &S paying the
balance and for repairs.
- Chief Wilbur reported we are continuing with Bunker training plans -
going day by day until we are certain it will happen (or not).
- Common Council Liaison Robin Korherr asked d if the renovation item
in the capital project request for Central fire station was a big
renovation or a small project. Chief Wilbur reported this has been
requested and denied for several years - what we could have done with
ITHACA BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS
JUNE 8, 2004 - MINUTES
PAGE 3
the money several years ago, now will buy very little. The total
amount is for several smaller specific projects - certainly not a new
building, which is what will be needed in the end!
- Chief Wilbur provided information regarding a request from the
Cayuga Heights Fire Dept. for automatic mutual aid on all confirmed
structure fires as they currently don't have a ladder truck - they are
in the process of buying a new one.
B. DEPUTY CHIEF/TRAINING: See Deputy Chief Dorman's written report
in the Minute Book).
C. FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU REPORT: See written report (in Minute
Book) from Assistant Chief Dan Tier on the following:
Codes Division
Fire Investigation Unit
Juvenile Fire Setter Program
Public Education
IX. Old Business - None
X. New Business - Chief Wilbur explained the history of the need to
purchase radio frequencies and communications equipment to enable
IFD to have remote communication abilities when the 911 dispatch
center moves to their new facility. In order to facilitate this, it is
necessary for the Board of Fire Commissioners to established a capital
project with funds to acquire equipment and radio frequencies needed
to compensate for these demands.
After further discussion, Chair Romanowski made a motion to approve
the attached resolution that authorizes $1,540 for engineering and
radio frequency acquisition and to establish an Emergency Management
Communication Capital Project; and further that this will be followed by
a resolution to award the purchase of associated equipment and
hardware. Seconded by Comm. Seligmann. Carried unanimously. See

Reorganization (election of Chair & Vice Chair) will be considered at the

MEMORANDUM
TO: Department Heads
D
FROM: Carolyn Peterson, Mayor CIK
SUBJECT: 2005 Department Budget Requests
DATE: June 28, 2004
It is time to begin the process of preparing the FY 2005
City Budget. As a first step, please submit a preliminary
budget request to the City Controller by August 1, 2004, as
prescribed by the City Charter. After you submit your
preliminary request, the Controller and I will schedule a
meeting with you. I hope to get started earlier than usual this
year, so plan on your meeting being scheduled in the middle of
August. If you have any questions about your department's
budget before or after you submit it, please consult with me
and /or the City Controller.
As in previous years, your budget templates will be
available to you on Munis. All budgets are to be submitted
using this software. The Director of Information Technology
will provide tech support to you as needed.
You have all been made aware of the fact that we are again
facing a difficult budget season this fall. Our financial
picture has improved somewhat, and we are hopeful for continued
financial gains in the near future. It is our plan to
conservatively begin adding to Department resources to ease the
pain of several years of budget reductions. With this in mind,
please prepare your budget submissions using the following
guidelines:
A. Present a budget, which would represent a 1% increase in
overall spending from your 2004 budget, and would
incorporate 2005 wage increases.
B. Optional - Please submit an optional budget which would
represent a 3.5% increase in overall spending from your
"An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification."
.s
TO: Department Heads June 28, 2004
projections for 2005 and a time frame on how quickly the revenue
increase could take place.
If applicable, departments requesting staff increases,
please include any possible cost reductions associated with the
staffing increase (i.e.: two additional staff would decrease
overtime by $20,000).
Each line of your program budget has a text section
available. The following lines will need documentation:
1) Any 200 line equipment purchases that cost $500 or more;
2) Line 430, Fees for Professional Services - indicate what
type of professional services are to be performed and
cost for each;
3) Line 435, Contractual Services - indicate nature of
contracts and cost for each;
4) Line 440, Staff Development - indicate nature and cost;
5) Line 476, Equipment Maintenance - indicate all
maintenance contracts /agreements.
Each program will have a "cover sheet" page in Munis with a
text section available. This is being provided for you to
include a description of the program. Use the same narrative
you used for the first two sections of your program analysis
presentation (Community needs and Missions and goals).

Department for a muhial aid request by other fire departments in Tompkins County
and immediate surrounding areas.
To improve fire -round safety for all members of the Ithaca Fire Department.
To ensure compliance with 29CFR 1910.134(b)(8)(OSHA) requires that appropriate

POLICY: The Ithaca Fire Department is listed in the Tompkins County Mutual Aid Plan as a
participating department. As a participant the Ithaca Fire Department is required
to send assistance to other fire departments in Tompkins County when requested and
be able to do so without depleting resources to adequately respond to emergencies
within our own district.
It is the intent of the Ithaca Fire Department to deploy when requested, adequate
resources to be able to assist the requesting department and also comply with the
above laws and standards.
Therefore, when a request for "Mutual Aid" is received the Ithaca Fire Department
will always send a minimum of four (4) Career Firefighters to the scene of the
incident. This number may be augmented by IFD Volunteers and Bunkers. The only
exception to this rule will be for a standby in another district's station or an EMS
Medical Call, were the closest geographical engine will be dispatched and back -up
sent if needed.
To be able to consistently and rapidly deploy personnel and resources the following
matrix will be the preferred method to use when deploying units to mutual aid
calls. Only the Shift Commander is authorized to deviate from this SOP.

Chief Wilbur,
The following report is for the activities conducted by the Fire Prevention Bureau of the
Ithaca Fire Department for the month of May. This has been a very active month,
particularly for the codes division. With many new and renovated buildings coming
closer to completion, requests for anticipated inspection dates and walk through for code
relate questions have increased. New code regulations regarding propane use have drawn
the attention of the Ithaca Festival, which has relied heavily on the fire department to
work through these issues. In addition, the code enforcement members participated in
special details in the college town area during senior week to enforce occupancy numbers
in local establishments as well as fraternity and sorority gatherings.
CODES DIVISION:
The personnel in the Code Division logged a total of 76.25 hours of training. This
is broken down to a total of 52.25 hours of in service fire /EMS training and 24
hours of code related training. FF Doner completed his final code series this
month for certification.
There were a total of 27 inspections and tests completed for the month. The Code
Division received ten complaints that are in active review. There were 41 parking
tickets were issued, 23 for blocked hydrants, 18 miscellaneous and 1 for parking
more than 12" from the curb.
There was 19 temporary propane permits issued, along with three welding and
cutting permits.
"An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." J
FIRE INVESTIGATION UNIT:
The fire investigation unit received two calls for investigations for the month of
May. One fire was ruled accidental, while a second fire at a college dormitory
was ruled intentional with point of ignition on several floors within the building.
JUVENILE FIRE SETTER PROGRAM:
There were no referrals to the JFS program for this month. Again a
reorganization of the JFS office is a goal for the month of May.
PUBLIC EDUCATION:
There were six public education details recorded for the month. These involved
fire station visits from a number of different schools. There was also three child
car seat inspections complete by fire department car seat technicians.

MEMORANDUM
To: IFD Staff
From: Brian H. Wilbur ;�r
Re: Capital Improvement Projects for 2005 Budget
Date: 08 JUN 04
Attached please find eight pages of Excel spreadsheets — you will have to provide your
own magnifying glass. Also, find a copy of this year's capital improvement program
project request. These requests were due at City Hall on 02 JUN 04 — we did not make
that date. We have a brief reprieve, so that, and trying to restart the budget development
process, is what this memo is about.
DC Dorman is preparing the submittal for this year, and we are planning on resubmitting
what we put in last year ( "2004 requested" on the spreadsheets). However, as part of the
process, I am trying to develop an overall look at what needs are coming up that we can
forecast and include in the list. Also, I want to project replacement dates for equipment
we are purchasing now, so that we have a tool to use to plan for capital needs well into
the future.
If you have an idea for items not included in the 2005 request already, please fill out a
request form and submit it to DC Dorman for consideration. Feel free to suggest
anything, but please pay particular attention to your areas of responsibility. As for the
probability of our receiving anything this year, please refer to the "200X Funded"
columns for the last three years. Also, City Controller Thayer has indicated he wants to
try and move certain items from capital projects back into operating budgets. Motor
vehicles, such as sedans and pickups, is one area that comes to mind here.
Since we are already past the deadline, we need anything new submitted as soon as
possible. Any questions, please see DC Dorman.
Thanks.

Radio Frequency Acquisition
Ithaca Board of Fire Commissioners Resolution
08 JUN 04
WHEREAS, the Ithaca Fire Department has need for additional UHF radio frequencies to
provide additional communications capability for administrative and operational
functions, including emergency management functions, through the use of a repeater and
added tactical frequencies; and,
WHEREAS, the impending move from Central Fire Station of Tompkins County's 911
and Communications Center will eliminate the ability for Ithaca Fire Department
personnel at any of its fire stations to communicate with units operating within and
adjacent to the district on existing equipment, thus increasing the need for an alternate
system; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has an established capital project with funds to acquire
equipment, and the radio frequencies needed to compensate for these demands; and,
WHEREAS, the Ithaca Fire Department has sent out requests for proposals (RFP's) for
engineering and frequency acquisition services necessary to acquire the added capacity
sought; and,
WHEREAS, of the six vendors solicited, only two returned proposals to do the work, and
of those two, the lowest proposal was deemed unresponsive in that it omitted engineering
and coordination services that were included in the RFP; and,
WHEREAS, the remaining proposal from United States Licensing was deemed
responsive to the RFP, and IFD staff recommend the project be awarded to United States
Licensing; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, the Board of Fire Commissioners hereby approves the proposal to perform
frequency coordination and licensing work, along with associated engineering work, as
stipulated in the RFP and the proposal, to United States Licensing, 607 El Mar Drive,
Rochester, N.Y. 14616 -1035, at a cost of $1,540.00; and, be it further
RESOLVED, the funds for this project will be derived from capital project # 436,
Emergency Management Communications.

Dear Chief,
Enclosed is a copy for 2 proposals for services required to license radio frequencies for
IFD's proposed radio repeater, and a UHF radio frequency for a proposed second tactical
radio channel.
On May 5`h, I mailed six request for proposals to Collie Communications Inc, United
Radio Service Inc, Tri-County Communications Inc, Telecom Certification & Filing Inc.,
APCO International Inc, and United States Licensing Inc.. As of June 1, 2004, I have
received 2 proposals. The proposals were from APCO International for $870.00 and
United States Licensing for $1540. After reviewing the details of both proposals, the
proposal from United States Licensing appears to be the one that will provide all of the
services required to obtain licensed frequencies, including engineering, research,
correspondence with other users, waiver requests to the FCC, FCC applications
preparation, and frequency coordination form preparation. The proposal from APCO
International, does not provide for any required engineering that maybe necessary for
operability with co- channel users, research of useable frequencies, necessary waiver
requests to the FCC, or Correspondence to other users we may have to work with
securing frequencies.
It is my recommendation that the Ithaca Fire Department obtain the services of United
States Licensing, of Rochester, NY for services required to license and coordinate
frequencies to be used by IFD for public safety communications
Sincerely;
Lt Tom Parsons

Dear Lt. Parsons:
607 El Mar Drive
Rochester, NY 14616 -1035
USL is pleased to offer our services for assistance in your quest to obtain multiple UHF channels
for use by the City of Ithaca Fire Department.
The search for 3 suitable frequencies, in the UHF range, presents a challenge that will require
extra diligence in the research process. Several sequential steps are necessary to accomplish this
goal:
• Research FCC databases for useable frequencies
• Engineering studies for operability with co- channel users
• Correspondence to other users we are attempting to work with on securing frequencies
• Waiver requests to the FCC if necessary
• FCC license application preparation
• Frequency coordination forms preparation
The attached quotations outline the fees required by USL to undertake this project. A timeframe
for completion of the process will be dependnt upon the status of any available frequencies and
correspondence time with other users.
Please contact me at 585.388.0582 if you require any additional information or have questions
regarding this quotation.
Sincerely,
B. John Golden

FCC Announces Stay of Narrowband Deadline
On December 3, 2003, the FCC issued an Order indicating they would grant a stay effectively delaying the
implementation of the Narrowband Ruling implementation date of January 13, 2004 pending resolution of the petitions
for reconsideration of the Second Report and Order.
Background: The FCC notice for migrating systems from wideband to narrowband operations was released on February_
25, 2003 in the Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making under Docket 99 -87.
The FCC Rulemaking established January 13, 2004 as the deadline the FCC would no longer accept applications
for new wide band license applications or modifications of existing wideband licenses that expand service area
coverage beyond the existing coverage.
On August 29, 2003, the Association of Public- Safety Communications Officials- International, Inc., the International
Association of Fire Chiefs, Inc., the International Municipal Signal Association, the International Association of Chiefs
of Police, the Major Cities Chiefs Association, the National Sheriffs' Association, the Major County Sheriffs'
Association, and the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (collectively, Public Safety Petitioners) filed a
petition to "stay" the implementation date pursuant to fully addressing several comments filed in the original rulemaking.
ether respondents requesting a stay included: IPMobileNet, Inc. (IPMobileNet) on August 11, 2003; the American
Association of Railroads (AAR) on August 18, 2003; the American Petroleum Institute and the United Telecom Council
(API/UTC) on August 18, 2003; and on November 20, 2004, the Private Wireless Mining Coalition (PWMC) requested
that the Commission take immediate action on the AAR and Public Safety Petitioners petitions.
The decision specifically indicated the FCC will stay the January 13, 2004 deadline for filing applications for new
wideband systems or expansions of existing wideband systems in Section 90.209(b)(6) of the Commission's Rules.
Prior to receiving this ruling, APCO along with other FCC certified coordinators, were forced to establish deadlines for
accepting applications prior to the January 13, 2004 date. Until further notice, those deadlines are no longer in affect;
however, APCO highly recommends agencies use this reprieve as an opportunity to carefully and judiciously
continue their processes of modifying existing systems or adding new systems on wideband. The Commission will
be seeking quick resolution to the questions and concerns commenter submitted relevant to the original Rulemaking at
which time it is anticipated a new deadline date will be established.

Hi Bob,
Please find a completed resolution for the bid award for radio and
communications equipment, as discussed at the last board meeting. Lt.
Parsons has put together a good package here and he tells me that
authorization to award sooner rather than later may preserve some
discounts that would be advantageous for us.
Additionally, given the constant problems we are having with
communications, the sooner we get this equipment operational, the better
off we all will be.
If you and the Board would consider a telephone vote to award this bid so
that we can proceed, that would be very helpful.
Thanks.
