LIFE SAFETY DIVISION Administration 1) Career Personnel Report a) See Deputy Chief Dorman's report. b) Office Hiring All test scores are in and eligible lists were just received yesterday. Next steps in the office reorganization process will occur as soon as possible. 2) Operating Budget Status a) Please see the updated account balances sheet for 2009. 3) County Communications and 911 Program a) 800 MHz System: The system continues to operate well. As expected, field use is revealing a number of changes or adjustments necessary to make best use of the capabilities of the system. b) Communications MOU between Tompkins County and the City of Ithaca: We are waiting for word from Tompkins County Administration about the concept for a new agreement that was discussed in March. [No change from last month.] Mayor Peterson will be meeting with Administrator Mareane in the near future, and will add this to her agenda for the discussion. 4) Grants and Donations a) The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program application period opens on 15 APR 09, and runs to 20 MAY 09 (change from previous deadline of 15 MAY 09). Grant possibilities we are researching include traffic signal preemption systems, in- vehicle repeaters for use with the 800 MHz system, and bail -out rope systems (to comply with yet another unfunded mandate). b) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided $210,000,000 for construction of new fire stations or to modify existing stations. The state "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." 1«' Fire Chief's Report for May 2009 12 MAY 09 Page 2 of 4 website was reviewed today and there are still no guidelines on how these funds will be allocated. C) Child Safety Seat Program: A grant application for the 2009 -2010 fiscal year was submitted last week. Office Manager McGrady coordinated, compiled, and submitted the grant application. d) Training Center Project Funding: We have received informal word that Senator Winner was successful in allocating $25,000 of member item funding towards the training center expansion project. Fire Fighter and State Fire Instructor Thomas Basher made the appeal to Senator Winner for these funds. Along with the $25,000 Tompkins County has allocated, we are now halfway towards our funding goal. 5) Strategic Funding for Firefighters (S4F) There has been no activity on this initiative for a long period of time. This item will be removed from my report until such time as something happens related to this issue. 6) City -Town Fire Contract Negotiation We are in the process of arranging the next negotiations session, which will likely occur in June. 7) Resource Recovery Legislation The proposal remains at the City Attorney's Office for review. 8) Foreign Fire Insurance Distribution Mayor Peterson has indicated she would like the Town's proposal (50150 split now, per capita after five years) to resolve the foreign fire insurance distribution dilemma to be a topic for the next negotiations session on the City -Town Fire Contract. 9) Fire Department Management Software Acquisition After months of process, the on site configuration and administrator training for the new FireHouse software system started today (12 MAY 09). Projected go -live date is on or about 01 JUL 09. Fire Prevention Bureau 1) Please see Deputy Fire Chief Parson's report of Fire Prevention Bureau activities for the month of April.

Support 1) See Deputy Chief Dorman's reports. 2) Training Center Reports a) A usage report from AFC -MTO Willis Sheldon is not included in the report packet this month. b) Training Center addition project: Establishing a capital project to serve as a "container" for funds received by donations and grants is still in process.

[same report as last month] VOLUNTEER SERVICES DIVISION Recruitment and Retention 1) Included in your packet is a copy of a brochure highlighting the Fire Corps initiatives from the federal government. This, and the companion Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT) program have been mentioned to the Board previously. It remains my strong opinion that continued and/or increased utilization of volunteers will be best accomplished through the use of one or both of these programs. If the Board is so inclined, an in -depth discussion to consider future directions for our volunteer programs should be held. Service 1) Summaries of Service Hours: Attached are reports showing active volunteer duty hours for APR 2009 and 2009 YTD, as entered in the logs. Respectfully submitted, i; W-'M 4 wim Brian H.

Jack Cordoni received a pager. AC Dan Tier did a great job. VIII. Department Reports: A. Chief's Report (see complete written report in Minute Book). Chief Wilbur offered highlights of his report and answered questions as follows: As of today, the 800 MHz status buttons are working. Chief Wilbur received word today that the Assistance to Fire Fighters Grant application process will begin tomorrow. We are soliciting grant fund ideas. DC Tom Parsons has been working on purchasing fire department software. At this point, we have been waiting a month to get the contract signed. There is the possibility of airing the Board of Fire Commissioners meetings via webcast. The cameras in the front room will also allow for training while those fire fighters placed at other stations can remain there and not have to come to Central. This is essential in cold weather and aids in response time. FF Chris Hamilton is still working on the preservation of the 1982 American LaFrance. Chair Romanowski had a discussion with Herb Engman in regard to the 2% money. As far as Herb is concerned, he is waiting to hear from the Mayor. B. Deputy Chief's Report (see complete written report in Minute Book). DC Dorman offered highlights of his report and answered questions as follows: The support ladder tests were conducted last week. 941 and 939 passed. 933 has 4 minor repairs that need to be addressed. Hopefully 947 will back this week. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS APRIL 14, 2009 PAGE 3 C. Fire Prevention Bureau (see complete written report in Minute Book). DC Parsons offered highlights of his report and answered questions as follows: We are in the process of changing our paging. We are heading toward a single tone paging. Handicap parking tickets have slowed down on behalf of the Fire Department. This could be because people are obeying the signs or Ithaca Police Department is writing more tickets. IX. Old Business Resource Recovery Initiative - We are waiting to hear from the Legal Department. IFD Patches - Chair Romanowski spoke to AC Tier and Dan would prefer to screen the requester (ie: Homeland Security) personally and make the decision if the requester is legitimate. X. New Business Organization Dues - Moved by Chair Romanowski, seconded by Comm. Hoard. Voted unanimously. We will write a check and return the raffle tickets. Resolution to sell surplus hose Resolution to decommission 966 and for it to be consigned to the DPW Vehicle Maintenance Garage for disposal. Resolution to decommission 947 and for it to be consigned to the DPW Vehicle Maintenance Garage for disposal. Motioned by Chair Romanowski, seconded by Comm. Hoard and voted unanimously. Chair Romanowski announced that he would be retiring from the Board of Fire Commissioners as of July 1, 2009. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS APRIL 14, 2009 PAGE 4 Chief Wilbur conducted a Power Point presentation on the Training Center Expansion proposal. The addition would cost approximately $100,000. We already have $25,000. It should not be difficult to obtain additional funds. A letter was drafted to the City and Town in regard to the handling of the 2008 distribution of 2% funds. Also mentioned was the concern that the Board of Fire Commissioners (which was part of the original agreement) was not included in the discussion of distribution. Chair Romanowski stated that the Board would not be signing the 2009 contract. He also stated that the Town is still bound by the contract. Comm. Gilligan said that the contract cannot be changed without the Board's consent. Comm. Alexander asked if Dan Hoffman should be asked his opinion. Comm. Gilligan feels that Dan should have an opinion on the MOU and that the letter should be sent to the Mayor. Chair Romanowski said that the letter will go to Dan Hoffman and that the mayor will receive a carbon copy. The Board worked on the wording of the letter. Included in the letter was also the Board's question of how a decision can be made without all of the parties input? Chief Wilbur asked Chair Romanowski if he was prepared to authorize the Department to continue with the expansion project. Chair Romanowski made a motion, Comm. Alexander seconded and it was voted unanimously. Hearing no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1908 hrs. �Respectfully submitted, Randy L.
