<br />Merit Pay <br /> <br />2009 - 2010 <br /> <br />Develop a pay scale that rewards firefighters for increased attendance and higher levels <br />of training. An example, firefighters that are EMT's get $.50 cents more per call then <br />first responders, or firefighters that attend 25 - 30% of their assigned calls are paid $12 <br />per call, those attending 30 - 40% of assigned calls are paid $13 per call etc.... No <br />additional budget cost anticipated. <br /> <br />Level of Service <br /> <br />2009 - 2015 <br /> <br />When stations are staffed is it beneficial to expand our levels of service to include Life <br />Threatening Medical calls such as Heart Attacks, Strokes, Major Bleeds and falls. <br />Firefighters would receive a base pay for working shifts and would not get additional pay <br />for calls. No payroll expenses anticipated for the increased service. <br /> <br />Station 1 <br /> <br />2010 - 2013 <br /> <br />There are many possible options for the fate of Station 1. We can rebuild Station 1 on the <br />same site at some point. We could move the station further North and East if a site near <br />affordable housing is identified. If our department were to staff our stations overnight 7 <br />days a week, Station 1 could possibly be eliminated. We could build station 1 on <br />TCAAP property if it was to be a staffed station. Factors to consider.... ISO, Staffed vs. <br />non staffed stations <br /> <br />North East Fire Protection Coverage <br /> <br />2010 - 2018 <br /> <br />The North and East side of North Oaks is has excessive response times from existing <br />UFD Stations. Mutual Aid departments are not really any closer to this area then we are. <br />Continue to work with neighboring Cities to look at possible solutions to Fire and EMS <br />coverage to North Oaks, White Bear Township and southern Lino Lakes. A fire station is <br />needed to improve fire protection. <br /> <br />8/16/2007 <br /> <br />3 <br />
