Fire and EMS Services Master Plan • County-wide Fire and EMS Services Master Plan 2004 – Included all County and all currently operated fire services providers – Recommended most current service delivery locations remain 7

BoCC Agenda February 2, 2006 • BoCC heard presentation from ACFR Chief Will May • Took action to: – Adopt the Fire/EMS Services Master Plan – Authorized staff to develop MSTU-Fire as a temporary funding source pending development of a county-wide special assessment – Directed staff to report back on response times and present information on sprinkler systems 8

2006 Master Plan- Funding Option for Contract Stations • Fair Share Funding Agreement (p248) – Used by Chief May as basis for original agreements • Slide 61 uses this formula • Could also include total property protected as a factor • Could include population protected as a factor 9

History of the MSTU- Fire • MSTU-Fire implemented for FY07 • Fire Assessment studies were conducted in FY07 and FY10 for consideration for implementation the following fiscal years. – Both Fire Assessment studies were rejected by the BoCC once presented 10

Recent Insurance Services Office (ISO) Visit • ISO representative has requested updated Fire Services Jurisdiction maps- staff is waiting for ISO definition • ISO visited several area Departments to verify their staffing levels- must respond with minimum 4-person staffing to all fire responses – Could result in ISO Class 10 if these departments are not able to comply 11

Potential MSTU Millage reductions from Fire Assessment Implementation • Fire Rescue MSTU Expenditures: $14.653 mil • Assessable through a Fire Assessment is approximately 70%: $10.257 mil – Eliminate MSTU-Fire saves $7.443 mil – Reduce PST, CST, Sales tax support by $2.814 mil • Shift PST, CST and Sales tax to unincorporated services – Reduce Unincorporated MSTU millage from .6228 to .0243 • Total millage reduction of 2.1492 (Fire MSTU- 1.5507 plus Unincorporated MSTU- .5985) 12

Recommendations • Hold current agreements at current rates for FY17 • Direct staff to have a Special Assessment for Fire Services study completed for implementation in FY18 13

Alternate Recommendation • Option 1- Direct Staff to renegotiate agreements and present millage increase requirements once completed • Option 2- no direction 14
