CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The Tequesta Fire - Rescue Task Force held a regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, October 21, 1992 in the Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida. The meeting was called to order at 4:30 p.m. by Chairman Wade Griest. Task Force members in attendance were: Chairman Wade Griest, Councilmember Ron T. Mackail, Mervin Crockett, Thomas J. Rodth, Dr. Stanley Jacobs, Hal Hutchinson and Sandy Linnan. Staff members present were: Village Manager, Thomas G. Bradford; Joann Manganiello, Village Clerk and Police Chief Carl Roderick. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chairman Griest, in laying out some ground rules regarding public comments, stated that at this particular meeting of the Task Force the public would not be allowed to comment so as to allow the Board ample time to take care of Agenda business. The public in attendance objected. Chairman Griest stated that he would like to: 1) read for the Board a letter from Boardmember Alec Cameron; and under ANY OTHER MATTERS, 2) disseminate a revised copy of the 30 -year Lease Agreement for Fire Station 11 on Seabrook Road; 3) discussion of Equivalent Residential Units (ERU); and also 4) to allow Mr. Peter Allen, of North County Ambulance, to respond to comments made Mr. Hutchinson at last week's Fire Rescue Task Force meeting regarding North County Ambulance response. Boardmember Jacobs asked to present under Item IV, a list of comments he had prepared in response to the previous presentation of Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, and a list of Budget Requirements. Boardmember Rodth moved to approve the Agenda as amended. Boardmember Crockett seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Mervin Crockett - for Ron T. Mackail - for Thomas Rodth - for Wade Griest - for Dr. Stanley Jacobs - for Hal Hutchinson - against Sandy Linnan - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted.

Chairman Griest reminded those in attendance that the Fire Rescue Task Force is not a voting Body, but merely a recommending Body; 2. The Board's mission is to recommend a fire - rescue plan, equal or better to what presently exists, at a lesser cost; 3. It is not the intent of the Board to eliminate jobs; 4. The Board is not functioning for political gains and is not anti - union, but merely a volunteer group; 5. The Board is not functioning to settle any personal or group vendettas; 6. Councilman Ron Mackail, a member of the Board, is a liaison member of the committee and has a vote on the committee; 7. Any and all constructive and formative comments will be gladly received, especially in written form; 8. Donations of fire equipment or firehouse from any interested local citizens would gladly be accepted Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 3 --------------- - - - - -- Chairman Griest read into the record a memorandum from Boardmember Alec Cameron, (Exhibit A attached) (who was not present at today's meeting), stating his thoughts on fire rescue standards for Tequesta. Mr. Cameron's suggestions were: • Response time shoudl be comparable to what present exists; o Equipment types /crew levels may not have to equate what presently exists as provided by PBC F /R; • Rescue: presently in 'overkill' mode; needs to be cost - effective V. DISCUSSION OF LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR TEQUESTA FIRE - RESCUE FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) FROM SERVICE PROVIDERS. Village Manager Bradford explained that at the last Fire Rescue Task Force meeting it was determined to set up an RFP for the Tequesta Fire Rescue Department, whether a private service organization was chosen to provide that service, or, alternatively, to have another government, such as Martin County or the City of Palm Beach Gardens, bid on Tequesta's Fire Rescue Service: either way, there is needed a set of specifications. Today's discussion will cover those standards and specifications (specs). Mr. Bradford reminded the Task Force that it is necessary to take into account, when considering these specs: 1) an overview of the entire Fire Rescue organization, and 2) if someone other than Tequesta runs the Fire Rescue Department, it is possible that those service providers may some day be employees of the Village in the event of dissatisfaction with contracted services. Therefore, Mr. Bradford urged the Boardmembers to be certain of the level of competency that should be required. It was further his suggestion that the Fire Rescue Organization could be broken down as follows: A. Administration 1. FIRE PROTECTION - (fire station, firefighters, work schedules, auxiliary personnel, mutual aid, HASMAT, etc.) Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 4 --------------------- o Fire Company - (typically the basic manpower levels on any shift) Fire Chief Lieutenant EMS Service Firefighter Paramedic Firefighter Paramedic The State of Florida has no minimum manning standard on fire trucks. Mr. Bradford felt it was imperative that the Task Force set as a pre- requisite that anyone employed by the Village or in a contract situation be a certified firefighter, as well as being a certified emergency medical technician (EMT). Though Palm Beach County Fire /Rescue (PBC F /R) paramedics are cross - trained as firefighters, it is not wise to send a paramedic into a burning structure, since part of the protocol for him /her is to be caring for those victims brought out of a burning structure and to watch over the firefighters themselves. Ron Beasley, President, Firefighters and Paramedics of Palm Beach County, and a member of the Firefighters Standards and Training Council for the State of Florida, interrupted by stating he felt it was absurd for the Task Force to take its information on how a structure fire should be fought from a person who does not understand the system. o Work Schedules - Mr. Bradford pointed out that the Board may or may not want to get into Work Schedules for RFP service, and may want to leave that up to the contractor to determine, but stated further that the Fair Labor Standards Act states that the maximum work period can be defined as 28 days and any hours worked in excess of 212 hours during a 28- day work period must be paid at time and a half. Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 5 --------------------- Tequesta will need a minimum of 15 auxiliary firefighting personnel (16 counting the Chief, plus 15 auxiliary) for a total of 31. Auxiliary means: trained under the Department's training standards, may have to work one shift per month, each would have a pager, would be required to respond to approximately 500 or more of all fire calls occurring on a monthly basis, and paid approximately $1,200 per year, basic compensation. o Mutual Aid - Specs should provide Mutual Aid: 1) Tequesta would strive to become part of Northern Area Mutual Aid Consortium (NAMAC); 2) enter into a mutual aid agreement with Martin County; 3) pursue mutual aid with Jupiter Island. o HASMAT - Used only as first responder. A major disaster circumstance could be responded to through mutual aid from Martin County and Palm Beach Gardens. o Dive Team - Used to extricate drowning victims, or vehicles which have gone into bodies of water, etc. This capability is provided through the Sheriff's Office for most of these functions, but a local quick- response dive capability may be desired. The Tequesta Police Department does have certified divers. 2. FIRE PREVENTION Established in 1957, Tequesta is fortunate that is in not too old structurally, therefore having no deteriorating structures, making the fire prevention task easier. A fire code needs to be established for Tequesta (i.e., NFPA standards, Southern Standard Building Code, or adopt PBC fire codes). o Plan Review and Construction Inspection - PBC reviews construction plans for the fire codes, for a small fee. A trained inspector inspects the structure after construction to assure it is in accordance with the Codes. o Fire Marshall - must be designated (could be the Fire Chief) , whose responsibilities 90% in the area of fire prevention. Arson: establish a team approach. Police Department already has training in arson investigation and the Fire Marshall would be utilized. The State Fire Marshall has a West Palm Beach Office for assistance. Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 6 --------------------- o Emergency Medical Service - Determine who will provide this service, level of care /service, etc. o Ambulances - Today's typical ambulance is modular on perhaps a Ford 35 chassis, complying with State or County standards regarding equipment. The cost is $50,000 unequipped, and, with equipment, approximately $25,000 more. One back -up, in good condition, refurbished, would cost approximately $30,000. Training and education, regularly and frequently, is important to be certain the quality and level of personnel remains to standards. Education and Training updates are necessary every three years with an average cost of $1600 per person. If contracting the service, minimal standards for full -time people need to be considered. o Insurance Services Organization (ISO) - Tequesta would probably need a Class A 1250 GPA pumper (ranging from $150,000 - $228,000 new), and a 75 foot aerial ladder truck (ranging from $200,000 - $500,000 with a life of approximately 20 years new.) It is not necessary to purchase new equipment. Incidental equipment ($25,000 - $26,000 /truck) is not included. The contract goal would be to maintain a Class 4 rating as now exists. o Budget (in contract) - Determine, up front, what any increases in costs are going to be during the course of the contract time. An alternative would be a franchise, wherein it can be stated that an increase will be commensurate with the CPI escalation. The two biggest costs would be capital items and fire station conversion costs, with the number one cost being personnel expenses. Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 7 --------------------- Mr. Bradford explained that in one more week he would have prepared an analysis covering: o Cost of startup for present fiscal year (Dollars needed to become operational) o Expenses, Hiring to run concurrently with PBC in summer '93 o Cost of running the entire department for FY 94 o Cost of providing rescue service: in- house, and from North County Ambulance on a contractual basis This analysis will follow Village format covering salaries and wages, overtime, benefits, insurances, workers compensation, etc. Mayor Collings asked to make a comment. The public objected, stating that if no one from the audience was allowed to speak, Mayor Collings also should not be allowed to speak. Boardmember Jacobs moved that the Board allow Mayor Collings, as ex officio member of all Village Task Forces and all Village Committees, the right to speak. There was no second. After further discussion, the Board determined that the public would be allowed to speak at the close of all Task Force discussion. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS A) Boardmember Jacobs commented on the presentation of last meeting of Chief Iacona of PBC F /R, and read his comments into the record (Exhibit B attached): o Tequesta has no control over its escalating fire - rescue costs charged by PBC F /R, who answers only to the County Commission; many costs presently charged to Tequesta could be eliminated. o Station 11 not only serves Tequesta, but other surrounding areas as well; more equipment and personnel need to be dedicated to Tequesta. B) Peter Allen, North County Ambulance, responded to allegations made by Mr. Hutchinson at the last Task Force Meeting, that North County Ambulance did not respond in two incidences. Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 8 -------------------- Mr. Allen explained that one call, on 9/25/92, at Caloosahatchee and Indiantown Road involving assault, with a police officer involved. Fire Rescue was dispatched at 3:57 a.m., arriving on the scene within three minutes; North County Ambulance was dispatched at 3:59 a.m. Fire Rescue, seven minutes later, cancelled North County Ambulance while North County Ambulance was responding to the call. Those in need transported themselves. The second call was at Pinecrest and Indian Creek on 10/13/92, an overdose. Fire Rescue was dispatched at 12:50 a.m., and was enroute within two minutes; North County Ambulance was dispatched at 12:53 a.m., and enroute within two minutes. Fire Rescue arrived on the scene five minutes later and six minutes after that cancelled the ambulance. Five minutes later PBC F/R called the Dispatch to say they would be transporting themselves, and arrived at the hospital 18 minutes after that. Mr. Allen pointed out that North County Ambulance did respond to those two calls, to be later cancelled out. He pointed out further that there are times when incidences take place which cannot be helped and gave an example: Two days ago, at 300 North A1A, Ocean Parks Condos, PBC F/R and North County Ambulance were called for a head laceration, paged at 11:29 a.m., enroute one minute later. PBC F/R arrived on scene 25 minutes later, only because they received false information - a bad address. When PBC F/R arrived North County Ambulance had the patient packaged up, in the ambulance, and fully treated and were pulling out of the parking lot. PBC F/R checked the patient out and agreed it was a BLS patient. Mr. Allen merely gave this as an example that there are times when things happen that cannot be helped. He stated further that though he is convinced that Mr. Hutchinson has the best interests of Tequesta at heart, he is equally convinced that Mr. Hutchinson has been the victim of a little poetic license a la PBC F /R. C) Chairman Griest provided a revised copy of the 30 -year Lease Agreement for Fire Station 11 to each member of the Board, pointing out that item number 23 should read: COMMITMENT TO VILLAGE During the life of this Lease or any extension thereof, the Districts Fire Station on Seabrook Road shall be responsible for servicing all areas within the Village limits of the Village of Tequesta, Florida. Fire- Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 9 --------------- - - - - -- Village Manager Bradford explained that the intent of that statement was to spell out that the purpose of that property and the station which sits upon it was to be responsible for servicing all areas within the Village limits of the Village of Tequesta. Boardmember Hutchinson questioned whether item 8, which states, that the covered territory ...shall be the area of the Fire Control District in Palm Beach County, north of the Loxahatchee River, ... is actually in conflict with item number 23. Village Manager Bradford pointed out that that is why item 14, which allows for an arbitrator, is included. Mr. Bradford felt that it was probably irrelevant to be talking about Station 11. His proposal for presentation next week shows that Station 11 does not necessarily have to be used. He felt the immediate concerns of the Board should be regarding the details of providing fire rescue service for Tequesta. Mayor Collings stated he felt the Task Force was looking at several options: 1) an outside supplier; 2) Village supplying its own service; and 3) re- examining service with PBC with a new type of arrangement. It was Mayor Collings' opinion that, if the Task Force determined to have mutual aid agreements with other organizations, it might be to Tequesta's advantage to have Station 11 functioning. Boardmember Rodth remembered PBC F/R representatives saying Station 11 would be abandoned by PBC for fire coverage, but occupied by them for rescue services. It was determined that that needed to be clarified. Mr. Bradford pointed out that on a short -term horizon, it is not as critical as it may appear to make a decision on Station 11, since Tequesta must construct a temporary station to enable a Tequesta Fire Department to "get off the ground ". D) Chairman Griest - Copy of letter from Chief Brice regarding ERU - Mr. Bradford stated that a letter had been written by Deputy Chief Larry Rester, seeking information on what the cost would be of all Tequesta properties if the ERU method to be recommended is accepted. The number $706,664.00 - today's total is $797,000.00. A vote on ERU will be taken on October 26 or 27th. Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 10 --------------------- Mr. Bradford stated, that if this method is adopted, a significant number of individual homeowners in Tequesta would experience a drop in their cost. Boardmember Hutchinson left the meeting at 6:35 p.m. VII. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC Michael Mayo, representing Entire Properties, Inc. in Tequesta, as well as beint a Lt. with PBC F /R, explained a typical house fire and how manpower is used, stating that first responder in a dual engine response to a house fire in Jupiter Inlet Colony or a high -rise condominium would be from Jupiter. Mr. Mayo stated it is much better working with a five -man team who are always working together, as opposed to calling on people from all around. It was his suggestion to the Task Force to try to get a perspective of levels of service. Mr. Bradford asked Mr. Mayo for his opinion on a five -man concept, with 15 volunteers and working together closely with Martin County. Mr. Mayo felt a volunteer system is good, but one can never depend on how many will respond. He felt Martin County, in a mutual aid agreement with Tequesta, would use Tequesta more than Tequesta used them. This would cause Tequesta's systems to be out of their own area. Mr. Bradford asked Mr. Mayo how he thought the firefighters would feel if Chief Brice was successful in creating a separate MSTU for the north county if the proposal did not impact the men's wages. Mr. Mayo stated he had heard discussion on the issue, and felt it made no difference to the men, since they did not care to get involved in politics. Betty Nagey asked if it would be feasible to have a temporary fire station in back of the Village Hall with a Library in close proximity. Mr. Bradford felt a traffic conflict would probably arise only "once in a blue moon", stating that sirens would probably sound before any vehicles left the bay. He explained further that next fiscal year, the County Library will be building a sidewalk from Willow Road to Fire - Rescue Task Force Meeting Minutes October 21, 1992 Page 11 --------------- - - - - -- George Andres, 20 years of fire service experience, and was Chief of south Martin County Fire Department for 9 years: It takes Martin County, out of Station 20, north of Stuart, 15- 20 minutes to get to Tequesta; Station 36 is inadequately manned; Jupiter Island has not always been reliable, since their equipment is not properly maintained; Martin County EMS does not have defibrillators nor half the equipment as does PBC F /R. Mr. Andres felt the quality that Tequesta is looking for would not be found in Martin County. Pert Towne felt the main concern is back -up and the residents of Little Club are very concerned regarding the service they get from Martin County. Mr. Bradford stated that the quality of service of PBC F/R is unquestionable, but if Martin County chose to increase their level of service and Tequesta chose to contract with them, it would be to Tequesta's benefit. John Bartlett, felt a real concern of the Village and of the Task Force ought to be legal liability. Definition needs to be given when considering 'equal or better at less cost' as to what actually is equal or better. He felt a personal injury attorney could define what is equal, and gave a scenario with an explanation. Mr. Bradford commented that that is why the Village holds professional liability insurance, and as far as level of service is concerned, the law would be on the side of Village as far as establishing level of service.

ADJOURNMENT There being no other matters before the Board, Boardmember Crockett moved that the meeting be adjourned. Boardmember Jacobs seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Mervin Crockett - for Thomas Rodth - for Wade Griest - for Dr. Stanley Jacobs - for Sandy Linnan - for the meeting was adjourned at 7:20 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Fran Bitters Recording Secretary Date Approved: ATTEST: J ann Manganiel Village Clerk EXHIBIT "A" To: Mr. Wade E. Griest Chairman, Fire Rescue Task Force Tequesta, FL From: Alec Cameron Since I have an unresolvable scheduling conflict, I cannot be at the Task Force Meeting on October 21. However, I do have some thoughts on the subject of standards that I wish you to read. I do feel that we have an extraordinarily difficult job; we have to arrive at a logical, business -like conclusion to a very emotional issue. And, we already have a sacred cow issue, the "better or equal" standard. Let's critically examine that standard. First, the fire portion. Ob- viously, when your kitchen is full of smoke, like mine was a few years ago, and the Station 11 guys get there in 35 seconds or so, from 100 yards away, you are happy with the response time. Obviously, again, we certainly have to meet the standard of response time. How about equipment types and crew levels? Here, there seems to be much room for discussion, obviously, again, here we have to do what is optimum for Tequesta. And, I question if the same or better can really be applied here. Certainly, I don't think we have to be bound to recom- mend exactly what they now have in Station 11, etc. As to the rescue part, I continue to be appalled at'the' degree of response we get. In Tequesta Gardens, we have a lot of rescue situations; the heart attacks, strokes, falls, etc., that senior citizens are prone to suffer. And, what do we get in response? One police car with patrolman, two ambulances with crews, and, most always, one fire truck with crew. Now this is "overkill" if I ever saw it. Certainly, we need to get the County to clear up the ridiculous double ambulance requirements. And, it seems to me, that, if we had our own system, the fire truck could be sum- moned when really required by a simple radio call from the policeman or medics upon their arrival. Having been carried out on a stretcher from one of our apartments, I know it can be done without the fire crew under ordinary situations. Thus, I think it is clear, that, except for response time and having an emergency vehicle with an appropriately trained crew, we really don't want or need to meet the existing standard of rescue service, since it is clearly much more than is necessary, or useful, and it's certainly not cost - effective! I think it is also useful to note that we saw some of the high cost of the County Fire Rescue Service demonstrated at our last meeting. We had four or five well -paid, white- shirted types in attendance, one of whom clearly had the sole responsibility of "hand - holding" the media. Obviously, we have to pay for all this expensive overhead! Obviously, part of the problem! And, last, but not least, Mr. Chairman, I do think you need to do much more to keep the meetings on- track. I know you have deep con- victions regarding getting better participation at public meetings, but we have had an enormous waste of time at our past meetings. Most . of the speakers and questioners from the audience so far have obvious private agendas, like running for office, or preserving jobs in the present fire rescue set -up, or both, or whatever, etc. Also, for example, we had one well- intentioned lady last time who made big points of how she felt that what we were doing was unnecessary, had been turned down before, etc. This was totally non - relevant to the Task Force assignment and should have been re- directed! She needs to take her objections to the Council, not to the Task Force. She'll clearly have an opportunity when we present our recommendations, whatever they may be! Let's get the Task Force business one! I suggest the one question per person, three minute limit rule. Thank you, Alec Cameron 575 -5386 cc: Task Force Members Village Council Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager Comments prepared by Dr. Stan Jacobs for Task force Fire Rescue Meeting 10 -21 -92 " Analysis of Palm Beach Co. Fire Rescue presentation By Chief Mike Iacona on 10- 14-92. First there is no quettion as to quality of personnel and equipment and response for service needed. The question is cost and whether we can duplicate or better this for less. We cannot allow Tequesta to be slowly strangled by increasing costs of 1}25% per year. Palm Beach County Fire - Rescue reports only to P* Beach County Commissioners. We have no say or or control over cost, present or future. We also have no control over protocols or procedures. We can only accept and pay on demand each year. Our needs may be different from the massive and diverse County. Station 11 on Seabrook Rd. serves Six (6) different governmental Constituents. 1. Tequesta 2. Palm Beach County North of River. 3. Jupiter North of River 4. Jupiter Inlet Colony 5.Jupiter anw Pain Beach County South of River. 6. Martin County Mutual Aid North of County Line Rd. to Jonathon Dickinson Park. Thus this is not a Tequesta Department but a Regional Department for the Jupttet Tequesta-and -surrounding area even-to. Juno. Beach jf nee First Response for Station it brings: 1 Lt., 2 Firemen, 2 Paramedics Equipment is 1 Pumper- Fire Engine. 1 Rescue Unit. Second Response and back -up is from Station 12 on Hepburn St. When this is'closed it will be from Central Blvd. Area. Response Times: Police 1.5 Minutes. P.B. Co. F.R. from Seabrook averages 4.231Minutes North County Ambulances about 4 minutes average. When P.B. Co. is elsewhere as at Hospital or Jupiter this can be 6 -8 -10 minutes. Importance: Heart Attack - Cardiac Arrest, without Oxygen patient is Brain Dead in 4 minutes. Fire-goes from ignition to flash&ver in 6 to S minutes. Police are still our best line of Service! We need more equipment and personnel dedicated to Tequesta and North of the River because of Geographical Location. We are OK when Station 11 people are here but in jeopardy wheb they are in another area, even with back -up from Sta.12. 2 .
