work sites use masks, took their temperature upon arrival and used social distance practices.

emergencies when information is requested or needs to be shared with the public through social media or
more traditional means.
New Fire Stations: The opening and continued adjustments for two new fire stations that opened between
Sept 2020 and Feb 2021 has been one of the main duties of Support Services. Working close with the
design team and the contractors to ensure that these fire stations are meeting the needs of the community
and the employees is a primary mission for this division.

Factors that affect staffing: Three long term injuries and one dropped out of
the Fire Academy. Each shift should be at 18 Firefighter, current is 16.
Goals For The Year
1. Financial Sustainability process, working with the Community Services and
Safety Committee, including entire City Council.
2. Updates and reports regarding progress of #1 and Departmental
information.
3. Leadership Training for all Captains and Battalion Chiefs. Chief Ludwig
4. Continued Training and required certifications for personnel, Blue Card
Command, State mandated and approved disciplines.

N
00
Adjusted Goals
1. Health of our responders — PPE, education, safety
2. Reduce training, except for mandatory or required
3. Scrub Fire Budget - Overtime, operations and supplies
4. Reduce Overtime
5. 12 vs 13 Minimum staffing / April 1— back to 13 every shift.
6. Transfer of 1— position to DCD (Administration/Support)
7. Working with Local IAFF Local #2088
8. No Travel and reduced training
Expectations for closing out 2021
1. To keep minimum staffing of 13 each shift is difficult with 3-4 Firefighters on long term injury leave
and 16 firefighters per shift (normal is 18 per shift)
2. Our Firefighters are using sick leave when they are not well
3. A Budget amendment will be required at the end of the year - $500k to $900k for overtime.
