<br />Lake Johanna Fire Department <br />Long Range Plan <br /> <br />Hire a Fulltime Deputy Chief <br /> <br />within 1 year <br /> <br />We have a need to hire a fulltime Deputy Chief to help with administrative and <br />management duties. This position would supervise our Duty Crew, Monitor Staffing <br />levels. Coordinate Truck maintenance and repairs. Take over the Training Officer <br />duties. Assist with budgeting and personnel issues. Anticipated cost $86,000 <br /> <br />Duty Officer <br /> <br />September 2007 <br /> <br />Have a Chief Officer assigned to monitor all department calls and respond to any call <br />they deem necessary. This is to ensure that the necessary resources are deployed to the <br />incident scene and assume the role of incident commander as necessary. This program <br />would start out covering weekends at first and possibly extend to week nights in the <br />future if needed. The Duty Officer will use the Fire Marshals vehicle initially, and in <br />2008 we would keep the current Car 3 and it would be used as the Duty Officer Vehicle <br />on a permanent basis. No initial cost to cover the weekend Duty Officer. <br /> <br />Restructure Officer Positions <br /> <br />2008 - 2009 <br /> <br />Weare going to restructure our chief officer positions; we would go from 4 District <br />Chief's to 2 District Chiefs. Each District Chief would be responsible for two stations <br />and a geographic area. There duties would include Station and Truck maintenance, <br />personnel issues. Each Station would have a Senior Captain designated as a Station <br />Commander, the station commanders would take care of the day to day operations of <br />their station and report to a District Chief. No additional operational cost anticipated. <br /> <br />Capital Fund Account <br /> <br />2008 - 2009 <br /> <br />Change the current capital funding plan to a new plan that would have each city pay the <br />fire department a set amount of money each year to pay for all capital expenses, including <br />Truck replacement, Station repairs and equipment replacement. The money would be put <br />in a capital replacement fund and the Board of Directors would approve all expenditures. <br />This would help even out the costs to all the cities and allow the Fire Department some <br />flexibility with repairs and replacement. <br /> <br />8/16/2007 <br /> <br />1 <br />
