body
Background:
The Manteca Fire Department has recognized the importance of enhancing its fire and emergency medical services to meet the evolving needs of the community. To improve service delivery and ensure resources are being allocated in a way that best addresses the risks and needs of our community, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive assessment and planning process.
1. Community Risk Analysis (CRA):
A Community Risk Analysis will help identify and assess current and potential risks within the community, including fire hazards, emergency medical needs, and other critical risks. The analysis will include both qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the vulnerability of different areas and prioritize service delivery accordingly.
2. Fire Department Standards of Cover (SOC) Assessment:
A Standards of Cover Assessment will evaluate the current service level performance of the Fire Department, ensuring that we meet industry standards in terms of response times, resources, staffing, and coverage. This assessment will provide valuable insights into areas for improvement and help identify any gaps in service that need to be addressed.
3. Community-Driven Strategic Plan:
Following the CRA and SOC Assessment, a Community-Driven Strategic Plan will be developed. This plan will engage key stakeholders, including community members, local government officials, and fire department personnel, to set priorities and guide the Fire Department’s future actions over the next 3 to 5 years. The strategic plan will outline specific goals, strategies, and measurable outcomes to improve public safety and service delivery.
Fiscal Impact:
Staff recommend Council approve the appropriation of $63,000 from Fund 530 Fire Facilities Fees.
There is sufficient funding in Fund 530 Fire Facilities Fees reserves for this recommendation.
