Background: The Fire Department applied for the Fiscal Year 2014 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant Program which is funded by the US Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency. The US Department of Homeland Security announced the availability of grant funding for Fiscal Year 2014 SAFER Grant Program on February 9, 2015 and closed the on-line grant application period on March 6, 2015. SAFER grants provide financial assistance to help fire departments to assist in Updated: 5/26/2015 by Georgeann "Gigi" Hanna A I Packet Pg. 120 5.1 3859 increasing the number of firefighters to help fire departments meet industry minimum standards and attain 24-hour staffing to protect communities from fire and fire related hazards. The goal is to assist local fire departments with staffing and deployment capabilities so that they may effectively respond to fires and fire related emergencies. The SAFER grant requires that all positions hired or maintained through the grant remain employed by the grantee for the entire two-year term of the grant or be in default of the grant agreement. Furthermore, the grant requires grantees to maintain their current emergency staffing levels, as declared at the time of application, including the grant funded firefighter positions, throughout the two-year performance period. Notification of the grant awardees is expected sometime in the summer of 2015, with the performance period beginning 90 days after the announcement of the award. Fire is requesting approval to continue with the application process of the 2014 SAFER Grant and if an award is made, authorize Fire to accept and administer the grant. If awarded, the 2014 SAFER Grant will be used to continue to fund these 9 fire safety positions. Funding of these positions will allow Fire to maintain current staffing levels. Fire has applied for and received SAFER grant funding on three previous occasions. In 2009, the grant was used for position retention, in 2011 the grant was used to continue position retention, and in 2012 the grant was used to hire nine new employees. Fire has projected that they will need to eliminate at least one responding engine company without the 2014 SAFER Grant funding. 0 On May 6, 2015, the Fire Department attended the Ways and Means Committee to discuss the submittal and acceptance of the 2014 SAFER grant application. The Committee recommended that the grant be submitted to the Mayor and Common Council to approve the ratification of the on-line grant application and authorize the Fire Department to accept and administer the grant if awarded.

Q V1le were awarded a 2012 SAFER grant which allowed us to retain nine(9)firefighters.We are applying for the 2014 SAFER grant to retain these positions.The nine(9)firefighters retained through this grant will maintain staffing levels on one(1)first response fire apparatus with three personnel, Due to firefighter staffing cuts in 2014 our department was forced to un-staff one(1) hffnc•/hPQPi-rlioPQ fpma '" ----- Packet Pg. 135 Application Number: EMW-2014-FH-00653 responding fire apparatus and reduce another from an engine company with three(3)responding personnel to a paramedic Squad with two(2)responding personnel. We have projected that we will have to eliminate at least one responding engine ompany if we do not obtain continued SAFER funding.This will have several negative impacts within our department. Response (rime will be increased as other units will need to respond into the uncovered districts due to this un-staffing.As units are out of district responding to calls for service in adjoining districts,the domino effect occurs where units are responding from one end of a L district to the other. Some districts have large geographical areas and this response model will have a negative cause and effect regarding response times. In some areas of the city there is a seven minute response between stations. If units are opposite ends iof their respective districts,a call coming at the extreme other end could create a fifteen minute response time,This is well L outside recommended NFPA 1710 standards. w N I *1 b How will the positions requested in this application be used within the department(i.e.,4th on engine,open a new Q station,eliminate browned out stations,reduce overtime(provide additional details as to how this will occur))? IThe nine(9)firefighters retained through this grant will maintain staffing levels on one(1) first response fire apparatus with three (3) personnel.The positions requested in this grant will be used within the department to hire firefighters to refill positions lost due m Ito attrition(retirement, voluntary separation, and termination). By hiring these positions,a reduction in overtime will occur and ,prevent permanently losing the positions to reduce costs. Q m *1c.What are the specific benefits the positions requested in this application will provide to the department and community? a Our suppression personnel play a key role in our Community Risk Reduction Program,They conduct fire prevention inspections, c participate in public education programs,and conduct building pre-planning of high risk occupancies.All of these services would f° suffer with the loss of a responding engine company.All of our responding emergency units also provide Advanced Life Support (ALS)service to their respective districts.A loss of one unit could have the impact of extending our response time to some parts t1 ,of our city to 15 minutes during our peak call periods.Our fire department provides protection to all of the critical infrastructure (that lies with its boundaries. Our department is having to cope with budget reductions and feel that a further loss of responding W personnel would be devastating to our mission of providing adequate fire, rescue,and other emergency response protection(s)to Q o members of our community and critical infrastructure the fire department protects. Cn T N I*1d. Please describe how the awarding of this grant would enhance the departments ability to protect the critical >_ infrastructure discussed in the Applicant Characteristics section of the application. If CD Our fire department provides protection to the entire critical infrastructure that lies within its boundaries.We have two full service 'hospitals,we have two interstate highways within our boundaries.We are the major railroad corridor for rail traffic into Southern w California from the eastern half of the nation.Along this route are numerous underground fuel:pipelines.We are the county seat � Ifor the nation's largest geographical county,with all of the accompanying infrastructure,including a new high rise courthouse in ,our downtown. We provide fire and ARFF protection for our airport, San Bernardino International Airport.Although it currently rn LO does not have regular passenger service, numerous aircraft companies use the facility for training,testing and repair of aircraft. m The airport is also home to the a U. S. Forest Service air tanker base,which is staffed full timed uring the fire season. Lastly,we a provide ARFF protection on a as needed basis to support their operation. i X '*Element#2-Impact on Daily Operations(30%): w i*2a. How are the community and the current firefighters employed by the department at risk without the positions 0 4requested in this application? w LL San Bernardino City's filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection and subsequent economic hardships led to the reduction of 46 Fire Department positions since 2009,which included 34 Firefighter positions, six(6)Engineers, three(3)Captains,two(2)Chief Iq Officers and one(1)Training Captain.The elimination of the 34 firefighter positions, six(6) Engineers and three(3)Captains has !resulted in six fewer engine and truck companies staffed at appropriate levels as identified by NFPA 1710, the un-staffing of an N engine company and the reduction of another engine company from a three person engine to a two person paramedic squad. % E *2b. How will that risk be reduced if awarded the positions requested in this application? s ca ;ver personnel on our engine and truck companies along with the reduction of two(2)engine companies equates to delays in Q attacking structure fires, resulting in increased dollar loss rates and the potential for increased mortality rates due to fire. Furthermore, the City of San Bernardino is located in one of the most active wildland/interface pones in the country,with a history of devastating wildland fires that have burned hundreds of homes.

Please provide additional details on the departments operating budget,to include a breakdown of the budget,as indicated in Applicant Characteristics section of the application. �1s a result of significant economic downturn and subsequent filing of Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection,the City of San Bernardino a 1has faced budget shortfalls in the millions of dollars over the last several years.While tax revenue generating has increased slightly over the last year it has not been enough to overcome the significant financial shortfall the City of San Bernardino is -a !dealing with through bankruptcy. The City also continues to have local businesses shutting down,and a local unemployment rate lof 16%, according to the California State Employment Development Department. In 2014 we were asked to reduce the fire = (department operating budget by$1,800,000;this resulted in the necessity to un-staff one (1) engine company and reduce another, !lengine company to a two(2)person paramedic squad. If we are unable to maintain ourstal ing through this grant we will be C9 required to un-staff an additional engine company in order to remain within our budget. w LL b. Please describe the departmentLS budget shortfalls and the inability to address the financial needs without federal � ssistance. t- 0 iThe City of San Bernardino filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy on August 1,2012. During the last seven years, the city has cut all fire U_ 1companies from four person to three person companies, as well as made cuts to management personnel. These management s cuts included the Fire Marshal position,the Disaster Preparedness coordinator, a Training Captain, and a Division Chief of r (Training. The Fire Department budget continues to be cut as the City prepares its plan of adjustment to exit bankruptcy.These cuts will inevitably end up in emergency service reductions to the citizens of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino cannot address the current financial needs of the Fire Department without relying on federal assistance of the SAFER grant. LO _ CO �*3c. Please discuss other actions the department has taken to meet their staffing needs(i.e.,state assistance programs, lln other grant programs,etc.). order to remain within the fire department operating budget approved by the city,we have attempted to reduce overtime costs t by filling vacant positions. The fire department is currently working on establishing a new hiring list.New fee for service studies k are being conducted by city staff to be incorporated into the plan of adjustment and exit bankruptcy, In spite of this,the fire department will be forced to delete nine(9)positions if a new SAFER grant is not approved.We have not found any other funding pportunities to assist with maintaining personnel. P cLa *Element#4-Cost Benefit(10%): LU I*Please describe the benefits(i.e.,anticipated savings,efficiencies)the department and community will realize if < Le awarded the positions requested in this application. ! to the continuing deterioration of the City's economic condition and the subsequent reduction in staffing,the positions funded N through SAFER have been used to keep a minimum of three(3)firefighters on responding fire apparatus.This has allowed us to keep fire and EMS response units in service that would have otherwise been eliminated had vve not received the previous grant E ;funding. Keeping these units in service has allowed us to make progress toward meeting NFPA1710's recommendations for -,ponse times and the total number of personnel on scene of fire and EMS emergencies. We currently send additional units to ieve NFPA 1710 recommendations.
