� i, <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 4019021 <br />Item No.: 21 / b <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />/`��� �'�`� <br />Item Description: Request for Insurance Services Office (ISO) Evaluation <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) through Insurance Service Office (ISO) measures <br />firefighting capabilities of individual communities. The schedule measures the major elements of <br />a community's fire-suppression and water supply systems. This develops a numerical grading <br />called a Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) and scores communities 1-10, with 1 being <br />the best. <br />Since our inception, the Roseville Fire Department has completed an evaluation process on <br />average every 10 years, receiving a Class 3 rating in 2001 as our highest grade to date. The Fire <br />Department would be due for an evaluation in 2011, however would like to request an early <br />evaluation in an effort to improve our current Class 3 rating. <br />Therefore, the Fire Department seeks council approval to request an early ISO evaluation for <br />Spring/Summer of 2010. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />Financial impacts would be minimal, as the department is well positioned for an evaluation and <br />may only need to make minimal equipment purchases. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends council authorize the Fire Department to request the ISO evaluate the Fire <br />Department during Spring/Summer of 2010. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Authorize the Fire Department to request the ISO evaluation for 2010. <br />Prepared by: Timothy O'Neill, Acting Fire Chief <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
