STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution authorizing the City of San Bernardino to enter into a new agreement with
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians to provide fire protection, EMS, fire prevention
services, emergency dispatching, IT support and fire apparatus maintenance to their tribal
lands.
BACKGROUND
On December 6, 1999, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution 1999-314
approving a contract and promissory note with San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
(SMBMI)to provide fire protection service to their tribal lands.
The agreement was for a term of seven (7) years from July 1, 1999 through June 30,
2006. In consideration for the promises and services set forth in the 1999 agreement,
SMBMI compensated the City of San Bernardino by purchasing 3 fire engines, 1
hazardous materials unit, and ancillary equipment for the total amount of$1,260,864.
On August 18, 2003, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution 2003-232
adopting amendment number one to the emergency service agreement between the City
and SMBMI. The amendment was necessary due to the fact that SMBMI established its
own fire department and began operations on June 1, 2003. Therefore, the December 6,
1999 agreement needed to be amended to adjust responsibilities to maintain a balance of
service delivery and recompense.
The seven-year agreement between SMBMI and the City has expired and SMBMI has
requested to enter into a successor agreement from July 1, 2007 through July 1, 2017.
Since implementation date of the agreement has passed, the resolution ratifies any action
taken from July 1, 2007 through the date that the agreement is executed.
The new agreement is for the City of San Bernardino Fire Department to continue to
provide fire protection, EMS, fire prevention services, emergency dispatching, IT support
and fire apparatus maintenance to SMBMI tribal lands. As part of this agreement
SMBMI will have an automatic/joint response with the City Fire Department to areas
outside of tribal lands and within the City. The term of the agreement is for ten years,
from July 1, 2007 through July 1, 2017, with automatic renewals for successive five-year
terms unless either party gives the other party notice of cancellation.
The agreement outlines mutual expectations, rights, and responsibilities of the SMBMI
and the City. The City or SMBMI may terminate the agreement without cause upon
delivery of written notice to the other party no sooner than the first day of the first month
of the final year of the term, and no later than the last day of the sixth month of the final
year of the term.
1
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total value of this contract is $2,228,349 (rounded) per Section 6 of the contract
SMBMI has agreed to purchase for the City's Fire Department two Pierce 100' Tractor
Drawn Aerial Fire Trucks, at an estimated cost of$1,365,020. In addition, SMBMI will
pay the City the remaining balance of the total contract amount within 60 days from
execution of the contract. The Fire Department recommends that this revenue, $863,300
(rounded), from the contract fund the following priority needs:
1. Add a Dispatcher I position (estimated annual cost is $50,962). The Fire
Dispatch Center is under staffed for the level of service it provides to the City.
As a result of the added workload from this contract we are requesting an
additional Dispatcher I position to be funded for 2 years, in the amount of
$101,924,with SMBMI revenues. Thereafter, the City will fund the position.
2. Add an Equipment Mechanic I position (estimated annual cost is $50,081).
The personnel requirements in meeting the Maintenance and Repair needs of
the Fire Department Fleet has steadily increased over recent years creating the
need for an additional Equipment Mechanic. This contract includes the
maintenance and repair of the San Manuel Fire Department vehicle and
equipment fleet, thereby adding an additional 9 vehicles to the repair shop's
workload. The San Manuel fleet is comprised of apparatus from a different
manufacturer from those we use in our department thus creating additional
training and experience requirements for our mechanics. We are requesting an
additional Equipment Mechanic 1 position to be funded for 2 years, in the
amount of$100,162, with SMBMI revenues. Thereafter, the City will fund
the position.
3. Purchase a orklift (estimated cost is $25,000). The 1964 model forklift that
is presently being utilized by the Vehicle Maintenance Division has become
an on-going maintenance problem where parts are unavailable. The
replacement of this unit with a newer model (used) forklift is necessary.
4. Allocate $10,000 to Information TechnolMg . This item is to provide funding
to IT for their service to SMBMI including maintenance of MDC, alerting
systems, CAD and communication links between the City and San Manuel
FD.
5. Fund the purchase of fire equipment (estimated cost is $60,000). The fire
equipment (i.e. communication equipment, fire hose, MDC, etc) is to be
installed on the two (2)new Pierce 100' Tractor Drawn Aerial Fire Trucks.
6. Fund the purchase of a new Fire Station Alerting System (estimated cost is
$360,000). The present fire station alerting system that is used to notify
stations of an emergency response is very old and outdated. Parts to repair the
system are no longer available and repairs are made regularly by utilizing
surplus parts or equipment that has gone out of service. A new alerting system
2
will allow an approximate 30 second reduction in response times by
automating certain dispatch functions thereby potentially saving additional
lives and property damage.
7. Remaining_funds (estimated $206,215). Fire is requesting that the remaining
funds be reserved in the Fire Acquisition account for Fire Department
expenditures. This contingency is for unforeseen expenditures for the Fire
Department equipment and projects.
As discussed above, the agreement with SMBMI after they purchase the two Pierce 100'
Tractor Drawn Aerial Fire Trucks will result in estimated net revenue of $863,300
(rounded) to the City for Fiscal Year 2007/2008. As discussed in the staff report, the Fire
Department recommends hiring two (2) new positions, purchase a forklift, purchase
ancillary fire equipment, provide funding to IT (internal services), purchase a new fire
station alerting system and reserve remaining funds. Revenues and expenditures related
to this contract will be tracked in a separate fund (211-Fire Acquisition Fund). A budget
amendment is needed to budget the estimated revenues to be received and to appropriate
use of these funds, as outlined in this staff report.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt resolution; and
2. Authorize the addition of one (1) Dispatcher I, Range 1366 ($2,755-$3,348), to begin
employment on December 1, 2007; and
3. Authorize the addition of one (1) Equipment Mechanic I, Range 1378 ($2,925-
$3,555), to begin employment on December 1, 2007; and
4. Authorize the Human Resources Department to update Resolution 6413, Section Ten,
to reflect this action; and
5. Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2007-08 adopted budget to reflect in
the Fire Acquisition Fund (211) $863,300 (rounded) to be received in revenue from
this contract and the corresponding planned expenditure of these funds as outlined in
this report.
