Miscellaneous Reports: Town of Ithaca - Report given to Clerk City of Ithaca - Report to follow Audit - None due to end of Fiscal Year VIII. Department Reports A. Acting Chief /Deputy Chief Reports: (see complete written report in the Minute Book). Acting Fire Chief Dorman offered highlights of his reports and answered questions as follows: Personnel Report: There is an open Fire Chief position. Also, an offer of employment has been made for the Fire Fighter position. The candidate is going through the medical screening process and is expecred to attend the Fire Academy during the first week of March. Grants and Donations: Assistance to Fire Fighters - It is our belief that we have received the Grant. Training Center Funding - JoAnn Cornish (Planning Department) and Dan Hoffman (City Attorney's Office) are still discussing this topic. The Training Center is located on park land and this use may be in violation of New York State regulations. 2% Money - Acting Fire Chief Dorman and George Tamborelli have signed the contract. Mayor Peterson believes that she may need to sign it also. It has been passed to the City Attorney's office to make that decision. Mutual Aid Call Report is attached. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 12, 2010 PAGE 3 Purchase orders have gone out for the escape ropes. We are using money from 2009 instead of 2010. Training Report - AC Sheldon's Training Report is attached. Emergency Management - No change. It is in the hands of Cornell attorneys. Recruitment Retention - Application period is open until January 27, 2010. The exam will be held on March 6, 2010. The Assistant Chief Promotional Exam was held on January 9, 2010. B. Fire Prevention Bureau: (see complete written report in Minute Book) DC Parsons offered highlights of his report and answered questions as follows: Hotels and motels that have not been previously inspected are now getting inspected. The housing codes exempt them. Now Fire Prevention is trying to play catch up and get them inspect them. Bed and Breakfasts may fall under "Inns" which would add them to the list. They need to be inspected every 3 years. Chair Gilligan asked what the fee is. DC Parsons explained that they charge an hourly rate $44.00. DC Parsons also feels that we shouldn't be charging for inspections, but due to the economic situation, we don't have a choice at the moment. Comm. Hoard presented a letter written by a resident who expressed concerns about how residents are notified of inspections being needed. Acting Chief Dorman explained that he did not feel that the Board is the proper forum to address this issue. DC Parsons explained that Fire Prevention has sent out "polite" letters and they get no response. Then they try to reach people by phone. They try to coax people voluntarily. DC Parsons also added that the database that we use does not include all residences and how they are used. That is how they fell through the cracks. Fire Prevention is trying to find the ones who were missed. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 12, 2010 PAGE 4 IX. Old Business: As a follow -up to President Bill Baker's letter that questioned the one time commitment of funds, Chair Gilligan read from the Charter (under Section G and Section 1) "One of the responsibilities of the Board is to handle funds. The Board is responsible to pay what it feels is necessary, but not to exceed $200." Chair Gilligan explained that this is how the decision was made on the past two requests. Chair Gilligan has not responded to President Baker's letter yet, but he will. He also plans to follow up with Deb Parsons. President Baker is concerned that the members will decrease and funds will not be claimed. DC Dorman stated that Mayor Peterson is forming an Ad hoc Charter Revision Committee and that this might be forum to change the Charter if the Board would like to. Town 2% Money - As Acting Chief Dorman said earlier, the need for Mayor Peterson's signature is still being decided. Mayor Peterson, the Cayuga Heights Mayer and Bob Romanowski have been carbon copied on the 50% split. The amounts involved are approximately $18,000 a year for the period of 2000 - 2012. The Board proposes that an appropriately worded request be sent to Mayor Peterson explaining the Board's wish to expedite the issue. This has been going on for 2 years. Acting Chief Dorman stated that the only question is if the Mayor needs to sign the contract or not. A motion was made for the Board to write a letter asking for the issue be expedited. Voted unanimously. X. New Business: Request to purchase fitness equipment (4 Trickster Bikes). They are valued at $1,100 and the Department has the opportunity to purchase them for $275 each. The Department is asking the Board to fund only one. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 12, 2010 PAGE 5 There was a discussion regarding the use of either the Donation or the Rescue Equipment Donation fund for the purchase of the equipment. A comment was made by Ray Wheaton providing information about the source and uses of the Rescue Donation fund - indicating that its intent was not meant for this type of purchase. A motion was made by Comm. Kelly to fund it from the "regular" Donation Account. Comm. Ellsworth seconded. Voted unanimously. Company Phone Lists - Need to updated Chair Gilligan proposed several suggestions for discussion at future meetings: A. Perhaps reports should be done quarterly and in more detail rather than monthly. B. Look at longer term issues for Board members? Would that make them more effective? C. Who is the new liaison for the Board to the City? Acting Chief Dorman stated that it is JR Claiborne. All of these topics will be discussed further at future meetings. The Board went into an Executive Session at 1855 hrs. to discuss a personnel matter. The Executive Session ended at 1906 hrs. Hearing no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1906 hrs.

Fire Fighter John Powers is working with the group on an on -going basis (along with Assistant Chief Dan Tier). Firefighter Powers provided training to the group on use of the 800 mghz portable radio system - used for communication at all incidents. The next training for the group will be CPR training and scene accountability - this will be held in January 2010. There are currently 8 -10 active fire police volunteers. The group is still seeking radios to have available when working at a fire scene or accident. There are some additional equipment needs that are under review by the group. Most of the current fire police were active volunteers in the department for a number of years as interior or exterior fire fighters. One issue that the Board of Fire Commissioners will need to address in the coming months is the feasibility of recruiting new volunteers into the fire department and the role that these individuals can perform in the department. Relief Funds Vet Relief fund - there was a follow -up discussion about some issues related to eligibility to receive $200 from this fund more than one time. A letter was received from Bill Baker, as President of the Vet Firemen's association- regarding this issue - basically questioning the interpretation of the City Charter as limiting the distribution to only one time. The BFC also briefly discussed reviewing the active Fire fighter's fund (90K) in the City Charter and establishing some clearer criteria on handling requests from these funds. This will be a follow -up item at future board meetings. 2% funds Final item under old business was status on 2% funds from Town - the funds are expected to be received by the end of December or early in January. Per agreement that the town made with the Chiefs of Cayuga Heights and Ithaca Fire Department the funding will be split 50/50 between the two departments. It is expected that the portion coming to Ithaca will be distributed based on the method for handling 2% funds in the City Charter. BFC Bank accounts — Commissioners Gilligan and Hoard were authorized to have signature authority on the 2 accounts held by Tompkins Trust Company. These are the Donation fund and Equipment fund. Department Reports Chief Dorman gave the Chief's report and Deputy Chief Tom Parsons gave the Codes and Fire Prevention report. Various items were touched on under their respective reports — one of particular importance to the future composition of the career staff in the department is the effort to recruit women and under represented groups to sign -up for the firefighter exam that will be offered in March - deadline to sign -up is January 27th. Info is on the department's website. The Board of Fire Commissioners will begin discussions in January to identify long range issues that the Board should consider under its charge in the Ithaca City Charter.
