Page 2 of 6 - Fire Chief’s Monthly Report January 14th, 2014
e) Vacancies:
• I have submitted a request to fill the Assistant Chief’s position created by
Assistant Chief Sheldon’s retirement. I have also requested to back fill the
Lieutenant and Firefighter positions caused by the promotion.
• I have submitted requests to fill the Firefighter positions created by the
retirements of Firefighter Foote, and Firefighter Hagin.
2) Budget Status
a) 2013 Budget: Included with this report is an update on the department budget
through December 31th, 2013. Our deficit in our personnel lines is lower than I
previously estimated in November. The deficit was due to retirement buyouts and
covering the salary of a firefighter who was budgeted to only work four months,
but worked 11 months due to an unforeseen delay in his retirement. The City
Controller will be transferring unused funds and savings in other accounts to our
personnel budget lines. We anticipate a final close out on our 2013 budget in
February.
c) Capital Budget – The roof replacement for Central Station is complete. The roof
replacement of the rear roof at Station 9 is complete. The HVAC work at Central
Station is complete. The Solar Panel installation has been completed.
3) County Communications and 911 Programs:
a) Christina Dravis, the new 911 Center Communications Manager, started work on
January 6th, 2013. Ms. Dravis comes from the NYC area where she worked for
Intergraph as an instructor for NYPD’s new Computer Aided Dispatch System,
and prior to moving to New York, she worked for Alameda County California as
a Communications Supervisor.
4) Grants and Donations
a) On November 6th, 2013, I submitted an application for the Assistance to
Firefighters Grant (AFG). We’ve applied for funds to provide hardware and
software for incident command training of our officers.
b) On August 30th, 2013, I submitted an application for the Staffing for Adequate
Fire and Emergency Response Grant (SAFER). We are waiting to hear if we are
going to receive an award.
5) Resource Recovery Legislation
Page 3 of 6 - Fire Chief’s Monthly Report January 14th, 2014
a) As reported in December, I drafted the framework for a false alarm ordinance for
review by Common Council. The ordinance would require the registration of all
fire alarm systems in the City of Ithaca, and the ordinance would have fees for
excessive false alarms. I presented information to the City Administration
Committee on November 25th, 2013. The City Administration Committee did not
recommend moving forward with an ordinance. There were concerns about the
impact it would have on private business owners. I will be looking at other means
to curb the number of false and nuisance alarms and report back to the City
Administration Committee in the spring.
