Tasks are grouped by similarity and by synergy (a decrease in time spent on <br />one can lead to an increase in another). Due to the interaction between tasks the time <br />allotment is given by section. <br />For fiscal year ’20, the Workplan has been created with a 90/10 split of staffing between the <br />Toxics Program and Eugene Springfield Fire Marshal’s Office. The Toxics Program will fully <br />fund ninety percent (90%) of staffing personnel costs (e.g. wages, benefits, taxes) and receive <br />a direct proportional amount of staff time over the course of the fiscal year. The remaining <br />ten percent (10%) will be funded by and time allotted to special projects as assigned by the <br />Fire Marshal’s Office. <br />Contents <br />Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 <br />Budget, Fees, & Workplan .......................................................................................................... 2 <br />Education, Outreach & PR .......................................................................................................... 3 <br />Compliance and Auditing ........................................................................................................... 4 <br />Program Management ............................................................................................................... 5 <br />Board Support ............................................................................................................................ 6 <br />Fire Marshal’s Office Projects ..................................................................................................... 6 <br />Appendix A – Program Task Matrix ............................................................................................ 7 <br />April 15, 2019, Public Hearing and Meeting – Item 3
