ATTACHMENT C <br />Levy Fund: $1,344,961 <br />Field Operations (Firefighters) (9FTE) <br /> <br />Ambulance Transport Fund: <br />$3,192,333 <br />Administrative Support (5.25 FTE) <br />Field Operations (Firefighter/Paramedics) (19 FTE) <br /> <br />Total: $12,642,210 <br /> <br />The existence of an Operations Chief for both municipalities lends itself to an increased level of discourse <br />prior to moving forward with operational policies and procedures. The current service delivery requires <br />procedural change approval through both Operations Chiefs and, if necessary, through both Fire Chiefs. <br />This is then disseminated independently through both organizations. <br /> <br />Station placement and response patterns are integrated through the “3 Battalion” model and much of the <br />efficiency has already been realized by the citizens of both municipalities. Weekly and monthly joint <br />operations meetings are already being held to continue to work toward full integration of services to the <br />extent that the existence of separate policies, procedures and contractual obligations will allow. Where <br />possible, the street-level operational policies are being co-written and implemented in both cities with input <br />from labor. <br /> <br />Operations personnel are also serve on various special teams: urban search and rescue (USAR) and water <br />rescue for both municipalities, hazardous materials and specialized airport firefighters in Eugene only (six <br />airport certified firefighters are stationed at Mahlon Sweet Field). In Eugene, additional funding for training <br />of these personnel is dedicated through the Deputy Chief of Special Operations. In Springfield the <br />specialized teams are funded through the general fund with line items in the general fund for maintenance of <br />specialized equipment. <br /> <br />Significant tasks which impact emergency scene operations such as pre-emergency planning, updates of <br />mapping, and maintenance of hydrants are handled by each agency independently. There is an <br />administrative process which allows for the exchange of information. Springfield Fire is currently changing <br />the pre-plan program to match Eugene’s and all the mapping is currently being done on the Mobile Data <br />Computers. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> <br />
