Hiring or Rehiring of Firefighters: There is a four-year period of performance for grants awarded under both the hiring of new firefighters and the rehiring of laid-off firefighters activities. There is an additional requirement that all grants awarded under the hiring category are required to retain the SAFER-funded firefighters for one full year after the end of the period of performance with 100 percent local funding. Should the actual salary and benefits costs requested for reimbursement exceed awarded Federal funds, the grantee would be obligated to pay 100 percent of those costs.

San Bernardino City's economic hardships led to th~:i~ductio"';9f. 32...

The elimination of eighteen firefight~LP.()~!ti9f1s h~~"'r~iwlted in six fewer engine companies staffed at appropriate levels as identified by NFPA 1710{~~wer;;~r~nneI6ttt!)~~e engine and truck companies equates to delays in attacking structure fires, resultil,l{f:jiiincreased:~91Iar 10sS,~tes and the potential for increased mortality rates due to fire. Furthermore, the CitY,At;~n Bemardin6:.,~:19cated in one of the most active wildland/interface zones in the country, with a history ofamt~~tating wildlan'~,,(Ires that have bumed hundreds of homes. By maintaining our staffing through this grant, the fir.~'~epartment's,;t~t)lIlty to launch effective, early attacks on these fires will reduce the chances that they will grow beY.9\'j~...pur ~g~pility to control. .'~{~.;';:.:;'.\~', /'fr~~~}'~ Due to a lack of an economic recoverY;i~:p~rregion and several other budgetary issues our City is currently faced with a several million dollar deficit during the current and subsequent fiscal year. Our 2009 SAFER grant is due to expire this year and the City is not in a position to replace the grant funds, which could jeopardize our ability to retain the 12 firefighter positions. If we fail to obtain this SAFER grant (2011) there is a strong possibility that our department would have to eliminate these 12 positions, thereby losing one entire responding engine company and the reduction of one of other responding company to be reduced to 3 person. The loss of the positions would represent a 19% cut in emergency personnel from our Department since January 2009. The loss of a responding unit could cause our response times, in certain parts of our City, to be to be as long as 15 minutes, which is well over the NFPA 1710 recommendation of 4 minutes for the first unit. In addition to the staffing cuts our Fire Department has had to implement over the last three years, cities and surrounding fire agencies have also suffer staffing cuts. (City of Colton, City of Rialto, County of San Bernardino, United States Forest Service, State of Califomia CALFIRE) This has affected both our the ability to receive and mutual aid. We have seen a recent trend of increased requests to provide emergency units for both fire and EMS responses in adjoining Jurisdictions; this has had an effect on our ability to provide service to our citizens and to provide mutual aid when requested.' In some instances we have had to limit units we ean provide to other jurisdictions and on certain occasions deny requests. A further loss of responding emergency personnel would further erode our ability to provide mutuai"aid services. httnR'IIp.RP.rvi~P.R. fema. govfFemaFireCTfant/firel!I'ant/isD/safer20 ll1apolicationlnarrative.;sp... 2/15/2012 2012-32 Page 2 of2 Narrative Statement _._--........_--_.-.._._._-~_.._---_..--....-_.----...--~.....------_...~--~-..-------+---_._._,----~---~-_.-...._---_...~.~.- *Element #3 - Financial Need (30%): This statement should explain the applicant's organizational budget and its inability to address the need without federal assistance, including other actions the applicant has taken to meet their staffing needs. ~_.._~__.__._........---__...______~______,__'_______,._"'______,&____.w_.____._.___~__________.~_.~_.____...._ -.-....- As a result of significant economic downturn, the City of San Bernardino has faced budget shortfalls in the millions of dollars over the lastfour years. The City has projected a general fund budget deficit for 2012-2013 fiscal year of over $11,000,000. Perpetuating this problem is a continued trend of tax revenue generating, local business shutting down, and a local unemployment rate of 12%. According to U.S. Census figures 34 % of the city's residents live below the poverty level, ranking it first in the state among those with a population of 200,000 or more and second nationally behind Detroit. To maintain operations, employees of the City of San Bernardino have had to make pay and benefit concessions, these concessions are due to expire in June of this year and if they are not renewed the City will face a further budget shortfall. The City government has been forced to elimi!1ate or hold vacant over 300 positions city-wide since 2009, twenty of these have been fire department Q.,;" rg,ncy personnel (12% reduction) The police department has faced similar cuts, they have had to elimin 51'" '''police officer positions. These actions, although necessary, have decreased the margin of safety th well ..v}~g fire department can provide to the community. Without Federal assistance in correcting these fi P6rtment'$taffing deficiencies, this margin will widen, increasing the risks to the community members ,; ~~firefighte~WhQ;~erve them. /,:'~~~';F~:L; ,~~,:',::,..

Our City has suffered greatly dy.r1fj~fthe currQ6tt~cessi6ti~.~~nd is showing little sign of recovering. The City has projected a deficit of approxiw~~ely $11,OOO,OOQJpr our upcoming fiscal year. In addition to the projected deficit the City's reserve fund is nOW{4?,@r $1,000,OOOrtt:!~ nationally recognized standard for a City our size is approximately $23,000,000. Th~t;M~ also facesl~~'-potential exposure to over $10,000,000 in projected liability claims over the next fiscal year. At1~jlj(C?!'1ally tb.e;~tate of California has recently eliminated local Redevelopment Agencies, and has diverted this mohe.~~~tQth~:';Sfate government; this is expected to create a loss to the City of approximately $5,000,000. Over the last:~;~y,.ears we have eliminated over 300 positions City wide, implemented employee pay concessions, deferred facilitY maintenance, decreased City services, all in an effort to maintain basic services. It becomes very obvious that our City is in critical need of the 2011 SAFER grant to maintain our emergency staffing levels and attempt to meet NFPA 1710 standards. The loss of continued SAFER funding would greatly jeopardize our ability to retain our current 12 firefighter positions funded under the 2009 SAFER grant, as we cannot replace this funding from any other sources. We are requesting approximately $3,000,000 for the two year period covered by the grant, so that we maintain our current minimum staffing levels, without this funding we face the elimination of a responding engine company as well as reduced staffing of another unit. _...__... _.__no _.__~.._._._.~._..~. _ _. _W""__'w __ __m .... __"._..___._____n.__.._..__...___.... _..__.... ..._._..,__ .__._,__ ___._._..__~_____._~.__..._~.__,.~__._.~______~ _'-_-0'- n..'~ _." ." _ .._._..~~".
