Groves, Chief of Department <br /> <br />Subject:EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD FIRE SERVICE MERGER UPDATE <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Since July 1, 2010, Springfield and Eugene Fire Departments have operated under an <br />intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the two cities to share the services of certain key <br />administrative positions in both departments. In June, this agreement was been extended <br />through June of 2012. <br /> <br />The primary benefit of a functional consolidation is that it permits both cities to share savings <br />resulting from eliminating redundant resources, taking advantage of existing vacancies of key <br />personnel. Meanwhile, service levels are being maintained or improved as a result of joint <br />efficiencies. The table below reflects savings realized in FY11. <br /> <br />FISCAL YEAR 2011 <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT EXPENSE REDUCTIONS <br />Functional Consolidation (FC) / Staff <br />Agency Position Savings Reduction (SR) <br />Springfield Fire Chief $157,952 FC <br />Springfield Emergency Medical $115,000 FC <br />Services Officer <br />Springfield Joint Recruit Academy $14,000 FC <br />Eugene Fire Marshal ** $125,817 FC <br />Eugene Training Chief $125,817 FC <br />Eugene Admin Specialist, Sr. $68,413 FC <br />Total $606,999 <br />S:\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M111026\S111026B.doc <br />
