From YouTube: Bloomington Fire Department FY2021 Budget Presentation
Description
Presented by Fire Chief Jason Moore on August 18, 2020.
A
Well,
thank
you
first
off
good
evening
and
thanks
for
the
chance
to
present
our
2021
budget.
Can
everyone
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
good.
A
A
I
would
also
like
to
make
sure
I
thank
city
administration,
mayor
hamilton,
past
and
current
members
of
city
council
for
your
support
through
your
support.
We've
had
a
32
reduction
in
fires
over
the
past
couple
of
years
had
vast
improvements
to
our
response
times.
Obviously,
the
equipment
upgrades
have
been
great,
but
ultimately
it's
allowed
us
to
save
nine
lives,
which
is
not
something
small
to
to
think
about.
A
Which
brings
me
to
the
main
question
of.
Why
do
we
exist
the
bloomington
fire
department?
We
are
here
to
provide
excellent
public
safety.
That
is
what
is
expected
of
us.
We
do
that
through
fire
prevention,
public
education,
emergency
management
mitigation
is
actually
taking
the
big
red
trucks
out
to
fix
the
issues,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
that
with
some
of
the
best
trained
people,
we
will
make
sure
we
give
them
the
right
tools
to
do
their
job.
A
For
our
background,
we
have
110
full-time
equivalents.
We
operate
out
of
four
divisions
and
I
want
to
point
out
on
our
major
initiatives.
A
lot
of
these
are
reoccurring.
Initiatives
to
save
lives,
protect
property
be
innovative,
but
I
want
to
point
out
one
particular
one
on
here:
this
year:
workforce
diversification.
A
We
have
had
always
a
goal
of
wanting
to
become
more
diverse.
We've
been
spending
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
with
community
partners,
and
this
is
now
an
official
goal,
because
anything
that's
not
written
down
is
more
than
a
dream
correct.
So
this
is
now
in
our
plan,
one
of
our
major
initiatives
and
looking
forward
into
2021
we're
going
to
be
using
some
of
these
plans
that
we've
built
to
really
look
at
this
problem.
A
A
I'd
like
to
go
over
a
few
20
20
updates
and
very
briefly,
we
did
order
replacement
apparatus
for
truck
2
and
engine
1
and
really
quick.
Just
in
case
you
aren't
aware
an
engine
is
the
large
apparatus
that
carries
water
to
the
scene.
Trucks
are
the
ones
that
have
the
large
aerial
apparatus
ladder
on
the
top.
A
I
do
want
to
point
out
that,
as
we're
thinking
about
being
more
environmentally
friendly,
sustainable
and
focusing
on
the
challenges
that
we've
already
had
to
deal
with,
but
thinking
forward,
these
two
apparatus
are
actually
being
downsized
from
their
current
predecessor,
so
truck
2
and
engine
1
are
both
dual
axles.
Today,
they're
going
to
be
going
down
to
a
single
axle,
which
is
also
about
20
000
pounds,
lighter
less
wear,
tear
on
the
streets.
A
We
can
make
turns
easier
in
some
of
the
areas
that
are
becoming
more
and
more
pedestrian
friendly,
but
they
also
use
smaller
engines
and
they
are
using
less
fuel
to
do
the
job
that
they
were
previously
doing.
Other
things
completing
an
internal
nfpa.
That's
the
national
fire
protection
association
1500.
That
is
the
firefighter
safety
and
health
guideline.
So
osha
is
the
bare
minimum
requirement.
The
nfpa
1500
is
that
next
level
we've
already
completed
our
osha
internal
and
external
we've
now
completed
the
internal
nfpa
1500.
A
We
have
also
completed
a
four-year
project
to
provide
two
sets
of
gear
for
every
firefighter
and
the
reason
being
is
when
you
go
on
a
fire,
a
lot
of
carcinogens
get
in
your
gear.
We
can
now
immediately
change
out
and
our
firefighters
are
not
having
to
re-wear
those
carcinogens,
and
this
will
get
into
another
portion
of
our
budget
of
another
thing
that
we're
doing.
A
A
So
it's
been
a
big
lift
and
it
has
to
go
through
a
pretty
big
process,
but
once
it's
done
we'll
bring
it
for
community
engagement
and
also
for
council
support,
making
the
one
contact
with
every
commercial
opportunity
things
dealing
with
the
k
through
12
schools
and
our
prevention
events
with
iu.
As
you
can
imagine,
covid
has
really
changed
the
outlook
of
those
those
goals.
A
What
I
will
tell
you
is
that,
through
the
occupational
assessment
that
was
just
published
last
week,
there
are
recommendations
towards
the
the
inspection
side
of
how
we
can
do
things
better
and
then
also
engaging
with
our
partners
at
inlock,
which
is
their
insurance
loss.
A
We've
got
emergency
management,
continuity,
environmental,
health,
all
within
iu,
they've
all
been
great
partners
for
us
to
start
thinking
about.
How
can
we
do
things
better
with
the
pandemic
for
training
in
education?
I'm
going
to
make
this
real
easy
for
everyone,
everything
on
the
slide.
I
have
no
worries
about
us
finishing
by
the
end
of
the
year.
Your
firefighters
have
been
actively
engaged
in
seeking
out
training.
We've
far
exceeded
the
national
minimum
standards,
and
we're
also
really
well
well
established
in
the
internal
delivery
of
certification
programs.
A
So
this
this
particular
goal
update,
even
though
it
shows
them
all
in
progress.
It's
just
because
I
have
to
wait
till
the
end
of
the
year
to
tell
you
we
did
it
for
investigations
providing
the
20
hours
continuing
education
covetous
caused
a
few
changes
in
that
a
vast
majority
of
their
continuing
education
was
completed
through
conferences
and
classes.
A
lot
of
those
are
online.
A
lot
of
them
are
having
issues
you
know
figuring
out
how
they're
going
to
provide
that
service.
A
A
So
as
we
get
into
the
future
portions
of
the
budget,
I
want
you
to
remember
this
picture
of
how
hard
that
job
is
and
then
why
we
want
to
provide
the
education
to
make
sure
we
can
do
it
well,
one
goal
for
this
year:
that's
kind
of
not
in
progress
is
the
continued
development
of
the
monroe
county
fire
investigation
task
force.
It
is
functional,
it
is
feasible.
A
So
a
lot
of
these
are
reoccurring
goals,
as
I've
mentioned,
providing
an
appropriate
response.
We've
had
a
two
and
a
half
year,
almost
three
year,
standing
goal
of
being
on
scene
within
four
minutes.
Ninety
percent
of
the
time
we
have
never
gotten
above
eighty
four
percent,
and
I
and
some
of
it
comes
down
to
where
the
stations
are
placed.
A
You
know
we
had
an
engineering
study
done
that
says
three
of
the
five
stations
need
to
be
replaced.
Are
they
in
the
optimum
location
we'll
have
to
make
sure
we
do
all
the
studies
to
make
sure?
And
that
might
allow
us
to
reach
those
response
goals,
but
our
goal
in
2021
is
to
be
on
scene
90
of
the
time
within
four
and
a
half
minutes
we're
currently
just
beyond
the
four
and
a
half
minute
mark
for
that.
A
A
A
A
You
know
one
point:
all
these
stations
were
designed
for
a
single
gender.
We
need
to
start
thinking
that
we
don't
have
that
anymore
and
we
don't
want
that
anymore.
So
how
can
we
be
more
inclusive
with
our
designs?
We
want
to
continue
the
capital
replacement
plan.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
large
and
expensive
equipment
beyond
fire
apparatus,
and
then
we
also
want
to
continue
our
efforts
in
being
more
interoperable
with
the
other
agencies.
A
Both
in
monroe
county
and
the
state
of
indiana
for
fire
prevention-
again,
I
kind
of
told
you
this
is
this
is
going
to
be
new
for
us.
We
are
re
redefining
ourselves,
we're
looking
at.
How
can
we
be
better
at
what
we
do?
We've
built
a
lot
of
momentum
over
the
past
three
years,
resulting
in
that
major
reduction
in
fires
and
no
loss
of
life
for
three
years
from
fire,
but
we
have
tried
a
few
things.
We've
had
a
video
contest
contest
with
mccsc.
A
I
do
know
that
the
fire
prevention
officer,
tom
fagola
pictured
here
has
worked
very
well
with
iu
in
developing
some
online
content
for
new
students.
We
are
also
shifting
that
it's
not
all
just
on
campus
there's
a
lot
of
students
moving
off
campus.
A
So
as
we're
evaluating
where
the
fires
are
how
they're
occurring
you
know
really
the
demographics
of
what
what
the
causes
are.
We're
targeting
education
programs
to
help
reduce
those
making
one
contact
with
every
business
every
year.
There's
some
really
good
recommendations
in
the
assessment
that
was
done
and
we
will
be
considering
those
highly
as
to
meeting
this
goal,
which
we've
never
met
in
the
past.
We've
always
said
it
that
we
want
to
be
everywhere
every
year,
but
it's
just
never
been
done,
so
we
want
to
think
about
our
goals
and
in
2022
and
beyond.
A
You
may
see
a
shift
in
that
for
training
and
education.
Again,
I
want
to
keep
this
really
easy,
we're
going
to
continue
to
meet
all
national
standards.
Your
firefighters
have
been
committed
to
that
for
years.
We've
always
exceeded
that
benchmark,
but
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
100
of
bloomington
fire
department
employees
are
going
to
receive
diversity,
inclusion,
training
in
2021..
A
This
is
not
just
the
political
environment.
We're
in
this
has
been
a
multi-year
step
process.
The
training
that's
going
to
be
received
in
2020
and
21
is
one
going
to
take
a
temperature
of
our
organization.
What
is
the
culture
and
then
it's
going
to
start
building
relatable
practice
scenarios
and
it's
going
to
help
us
really
focus
on.
How
do
we
get
better?
How
do
we
be
more
inclusive,
but
not
just
tolerate,
but
actually
become
more
inclusive
of
our
community
for
investigations?
A
A
So
by
using
this
technology,
not
only
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
better
document
investigation
scenes,
but
that
will
be
turned
into
3d
models
that
you
can
walk
through,
and
you
know
our
future
crews
are
going
to
be
able
to
look
at
past
fires
and
look
at
how
they
developed,
and
then
we
can
talk
about.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
investigation
techniques.
What
are
our
people
seeing?
How
did
they
determine
where
the
fire
was
started?
A
A
This
is
a
decrease
of
about
56,
000
or
less
than
one
percent,
but
it
does
include
the
two
percent
salary
increase.
So
I
know
last
last
night
there
were
a
couple
budgets
where
it's
not
a
direct
correlation
to
two
percent,
and
this
is
another
one.
As
we
have
senior
members
of
the
department
retire.
New
members
come
on
at
a
much
lower
rate,
so
we
are
looking
at
our
largest
recruit
class
next
year,
based
on
known
vacancies
this
year
plus
plan
vacancies
next
year.
A
A
This
is
looks
like
a
very
large
large
increase
72
percent
last
year,
because
we
did
two
large
apparatus
we
really
had
to
make.
You
know
budgets
all
about
priorities.
We
had
to
really
focus
on
what
was
important.
Those
large
apparatus
were
we
had
to
minimize
expenses
and
all
of
our
other
categories
to
be
able
to
afford
those.
A
This
is
returning
it,
but
it's
also
planning
again
on
some
of
the
things
we've
talked
about,
like
the
largest
recruit
class.
Ever
when
you
talk
about
that,
there's
gear,
there's
uniforms,
there's
you
know
all
types
of
things
that
go
into
outfitting
new
firefighters.
That
needs
to
be
included
and,
let's
also
not
forget,
covid.
A
A
I
do
also
want
to
mention
that
some
of
these
upgrades
that
are
in
there
also
go
into
making
our
our
department
our
stations
a
little
more
conducive
for
the
multiple
genders,
so
things
like
dividers
other
things
like
that,
just
you
know
taking
a
temperature
of
the
environment
and
how
do
we
better
serve
all
of
our
firefighters
with
our
limited
facilities?
A
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
we
receive
a
lot
of
input
from
public
works,
both
on
facilities
and
fleet,
and,
if
you
couple
those
two
items
together,
that's
just
just
about
half
of
this
total
increase,
and
that
comes
down
to
things
like.
I
showed
you
at
the
picture,
with
a
50
000,
unplanned
repair.
Those
types
of
things
are
happening,
a
lot
in
our
facilities,
they
are
aged
and
again
the
engineering
study
has
recommended
to
replace
three
of
them
which
we'll
get
into
you
know
what
we're
doing
towards
that.
A
Other
things
with
new
new
employees
also
comes
the
new
higher
physicals.
These
are
not
cheap,
but
these
are
required
by
the
state
perf,
and
we've
also
got
to
make
sure
that
for
every
new
employee
we
have
to
budget
for
these
new
higher
physicals
this
present
year.
We
we
realized
that
we
actually
need
a
budget,
maybe
a
little
more
than
one,
because
we
did
have
a
few
people
fail.
A
So
what
you
see
here
is
a
expense
for
adding
the
new
personnel
and
again
this
is
just
replacing
the
ones
that
are
retiring
or
leaving
the
biggest
expense
in
here.
First
off,
I
need
to
thank
iu
health,
who
has
given
us
a
steal
of
a
deal.
If
any
of
you
know,
property
and
rent
in
bloomington
you'll
understand
they
have
been
allowing
us
to
use
one
of
their
least
warehouse
spaces
for
a
dollar
square
foot
per
year.
That
is
unheard
of,
but
they
need
it
back
for
for
the
staging
equipment
for
the
new
hospital.
A
A
We
have
a
central
wash
facility,
which
is
where
we
wash
all
of
our
fire
gear
that
prevents
all
that
carson
engine
lace
material
from
one
coming
back
to
where
we
live,
but
also,
let's
imagine
after
covid's
done
and
over
with
that's
where
a
lot
of
the
community
children
come
and
visit,
so
that
hazard
is
no
longer
going
to
be
in
our
stations.
It's
going
to
be
at
the
scene,
picked
up
at
the
scene
and
taken
to
this
wash
facility
where
it's
it's
cleaned
and
moved
and
then
put
back
on
the
rack
and
ready
for
redeployment.
A
We
also
have
had
a
lot
of
issues
with
covid
and
the
lack
of
office
space,
I'm
sitting
in
an
office
that
I
share
with
my
deputy
chief.
So
this
lease
building
will
also
provide
some
much
needed
office,
space
and
storage
and
really
the
final
need-
and
you
kind
of
heard
this
last
night
with
some
of
the
ada
issues
around
city
facilities.
A
A
We
either
do
it
on
that
room
or
if
we
have
someone
that
has
an
issue,
we
have
to
move
everything
down
into
the
bay
which
is
not
conducive
for
a
learning
environment.
So
this
new
space
also
includes
a
training
room
that
is
ada
compliant,
which
will
allow
us
to
have
these
public
education
sessions
in
the
proper
environment
that
meets
the
needs
of
all
people
that
are
coming
to
see
us
category
4.
A
It
is
around
800
000,
you
will
see
it
has
decreased
by
1.3
million
dollars
or
62
when
you
buy
two
apparatus
for
a
grand
total
of
about
1.6
million
dollars,
and
that
is
not
needed.
This
year,
that's
where
the
big
decrease
comes
from,
so
what
we
are
now
focusing
on
is
really
the
other
necessary
equipment
and
fire
station
improvements,
the
73
000
for
the
aed's
or
the
automatic
external
defibrillators.
A
That
is
the
device
that
we
carry,
that
if
your
heart
has
a
an
issue
that
we
use
it
to
restart
your
heart
or
basically
to
save
your
life
if
you've
had
a
heart
attack
and
it
meets
certain
criteria,
I'm
really
proud
of
this
mobile
breathing
air
compressor.
If
you
looked
at
last
year's
10-year
capital
request
or
our
10-year
plan,
we
had
almost
300
000
budgeted
for
three
new
breathing
air
compressors
and
the
thought
being
is
that
we
need
this.
This
breathing
air
at
multiple
sites.
A
Talking
with
our
logistics
officer,
our
deputy
chief
and
a
lot
of
our
other
members,
we
came
up
with
a
better
solution
so
by
buying
one
mobile
breathing
air
compressor,
it
meets
the
needs
of
all
the
different
sites
and
it
can
be
moved,
and
it
also
has
the
capability
of
bringing
the
air
to
a
fire
scene.
If
it's
prolonged,
there's
85
000
for
fire
gear,
we
planned
on
that
being
much
less,
but
I
have
to
plan
on
the
two
sets
for
every
firefighter.
A
So
unless
the
new
ones,
we
hire
the
exact
same
size
as
the
ones
that
are
retiring,
we
need
to
plan
on
being
able
to
have
those
extra
sets
of
gear.
There's
300
000
for
facility
improvements
that
is
really
geared
towards
station
one
and
two,
which
are
the
ones
that
were
deemed
repairable.
The
other
three
have
been
deemed
for
replacement
and
we'll
only
be
receiving
emergency
repairs
until
we
figure
out
a
plan
and
working
with
iu
and
city
administration,
how
does
it?
A
How
does
it
fit
in
the
big
plan
for
all
of
our
station
needs
the
gear
washer
we
needed
additional
capacity,
but
we
also
realized
with
covid
our
current
gear.
Washers
do
not
sanitize
gear
from
from
biological,
so
this
new
gear
washer
will
add
the
capacity
we
need,
but
it's
also
rated
to
sanitize
the
gear
from
biological
hazards.
A
A
I
want
to
talk
really
briefly
about
the
recover
forward.
The
pilot
program
where
we're
going
to
be
starting
is
an
emerging
trend
where
we're
proactively
going
out
and
caring
for
people.
So
when
we
have
a
call
where
they've
overdosed,
where
they
they
have
a
repetitive
issue,
we'll
be
following
health
checks,
managing
medications
and
really
providing
referral
services,
and
that
is
for
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
for
staff
and
supplies,
that's
needed
so
with
that.
That
concludes
my
budget
presentation.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
