ATTACHMENT C <br />Springfield: At emergency scenes, Incident Commander or designee serves as <br />PIO; Planning Chief is on-call to serve as PIO at major incidents. For non-emergency issues <br />(including department-initiated news items), Planning Chief or City PIO serves as contact point and <br />clearinghouse, arranging interviews and public presentations, issuing news releases, responding to <br />media and public inquiries, etc. Station tours are handled through Administrative Services Bureau. <br /> <br /> Planning: <br /> <br />Eugene: Department Strategic Plan and Work Plan are managed by Executive <br /> Assistant in Office of the Chief. Annual Report, Standards of Cover, and professional <br /> credentialing are managed by PIO. Infrastructure planning is managed by Chief and <br /> Deputy Chiefs. <br /> Springfield: Planning documents are typically prepared by consultants; work plans are <br /> developed and updated at the individual employee level. Infrastructure planning is <br /> managed by Fire Management Team. <br /> <br /> SOPs: <br /> <br />Eugene: The department has three books of SOPs, including Metro SOPs. At the <br /> present time a committee is developing a redesigned SOP process. <br /> Springfield: The department has four books of SOPs, including Metro SOPs. <br /> <br /> <br />Description of Cooperative Service Delivery Model: <br /> Governance: <br />Initially, Chief of Department reports to Eugene City Manager and <br /> Executive Chief reports to Springfield City Manager (or Assistant City Manager). <br /> Following retirement of Executive Chief, Chief of Department reports to Joint <br /> Governance Board consisting of elected and administrative representation from both <br /> jurisdictions. Ultimately, Chief of Department reports to elected district board, or to Joint <br /> Powers Authority board of governance if that is the direction taken. (See background <br /> information attached.) <br /> <br /> Configuration: <br />Initially, this office will be comprised of the Chief of Department, <br /> Executive Chief, 1 FTE Executive Assistant. Chief of Department receives reports from <br /> Exec. Assistant and Deputy Chiefs for Operations, Special Operations, and Community <br /> Relations/Emergency Management (see below); Executive Chief receives reports from <br /> Deputy Chiefs for Administration and Prevention. Following retirement of Executive <br /> Chief, Chief of Department receives reports from Exec. Assistant and all Deputy Chiefs <br /> (or Administrative Director if the position is occupied by a civilian executive). <br /> NOTE: This recommendation envisions the temporary formation of a work unit <br /> that could be called the Community Relations & Emergency Management Division, <br /> which would include 1 FTE Deputy Chief and 1 FTE PIO. In addition, some access <br /> to administrative support would be required by this unit. This division would exist <br /> until there is further attrition at the Deputy Chief level. <br /> <br /> Labor Relations: <br />Initially, union representation of individual employees remains the <br /> same. Later, firefighters would be represented by a single IAFF local, and non-exempt <br /> civilian staff would be represented by either AFSCME or SEIU.
