• Identi areas where group purchasing for equipment and personnel benefits costs could be <br /> Identify � pp 30 <br /> implemented to reduce expenditures. <br /> • Make recommendations on improvement to district boundaries based on Department of <br /> Insurance and/or Insurance Services Office(ISO)requirements for insurance grading. <br /> On May 23,we talked about the following considerations related to strengthening volunteer fire and <br /> rescue service: <br /> • Combined purchase and acquisition of equipment and supplies where feasible. <br /> • Establishment of standards Countywide that would ensure that every emergency responder is <br /> provided with the same quality of tools, equipment, and protective clothing, compatible between <br /> departments. <br /> • Plan for changes in our public safety delivery systems through use of GIS tools and advice on <br /> the applicability of land use regulations regarding feasible and desirable locations for future fire <br /> and rescue stations. <br /> • Undertake a dialogue with the leadership of the fire departments and rescue squads to discuss <br /> the long-term future of the delivery of volunteer emergency services in the County and develop a <br /> strategic plan to identify how the increased demand for services will be met in the upcoming <br /> years. <br /> • Review with fire and rescue service leaders the viability of the existing rescue service matrix to <br /> determine if it remains a valid framework for service delivery or if updates or modifications are <br /> in order. <br /> I recommend that during the remainder of calendar year 2005, staff proceed to work with the <br /> volunteer and municipal emergency response agencies to perform an inventory of the available <br /> personnel, equipment, and facilities resources throughout the County. Simultaneously,we can <br /> review the 1994 rescue service matrix and update it as necessary. We would use the information <br /> thus gained to develop,with input from volunteer emergency service leaders, a scope of work to be <br /> approved by the BOCC for a study of the best future approaches to providing for the continuation of <br /> high quality emergency services in Orange County. <br /> As the Board has suggested, we will also coordinate with the North Carolina Department of <br /> Insurance to ascertain the degree to which they may be able to provide free or low-cost technical <br /> assistance to the County staff in a study effort. If the$25,000 set aside in Manager's Miscellaneous <br /> proves to be inadequate to carry out the study scope of work desired by the Board,we would <br /> recommend additional funding in the 2006-07 budget, to include Commissioner Jacobs's suggestion <br /> that we consider earmarking a small contribution from the tax proceeds of each fire district to help <br /> complete a study. <br />
