2010 — 2019 Capital Investment Plan Fire The mission of the Roseville Fire Department is to remain dedicated, compassionate and caring professionals, providing services that improve the quality of life for our community. The Fire Department Capital Improvement Plan (CIl') was developed to identify capital purchases to support fire department operations. This CIP was developed with consideration to the changes that have taken place within the fire department both internally and services provided. The plan also takes into consideration standard practices and performance benchmarks of the International City/County Manager's Association (ICMA), the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). The Fire Department's top strategic goals and priorities include: ❖ Firefighter Safetv: Ensuring firefighters operate with the highest consideration to their safety by making it the department's highest priority to provide: o Well-trained, consistent, predictable, and appropriate levels of on-duty staffing. o Well-trained, consistent, predictable, and professional supervision. o High quality and well-maintained equipment and apparatus. o Appropriate levels of staffing to allow the department to meet national staffing and response time standards. o Appropriate training programs to ensure firefighters are well-prepared and practiced to safely provide services. ❖ Emer�encv Response: Ensuring the fire department has the proper capital assets to serve the community now, and into the future to provide an efficient and effective response. This includes: o Evaluation of the current three station model, by taking steps to reduce the number of stations and make strides towards replacing the older out dated buildings. o The proper number of vehicles, which allow the department to meet response time and performance standards. ❖ Customer Satisfaction: Ensure the fire department is able to provide all services (i.e., emergency services, prevention programs, inspections, investigations, plan review, including services and training for other departments of the city). Operational Impacts The fire department's three fire stations are among the city's oldest buildings. Very limited investments in repairs and upkeep to the stations over the years have left the buildings needing significant capital investment. Station 1 was built in the 1930's. Station 2 was built in the 1960's. Station 3 was constructed in the early 1970's. Two of the stations have had mold remediation and one fire station has a current mold issue. A fire station location, equipment and staffing study was completed in the spring of 2008. Given the economic challenges faced over the past year and the gloomy outlook for 2010 the fire department has tabled discussions related to a possible new fire station, but believe this discussion needs to be part of the 2011 budget and city goal setting discussions. 17 27 of 81
