The amount to be requested will be $800,000.00 for the purchase of a 75' aerial fire apparatus. The city's obligation under this grant program is a 20% matching contribution of $160,000.00 if awarded. PROPOSAL: The City of Fayetteville Fire Department is requesting approval to apply for a grant to purchase a 75' aerial apparatus. This apparatus would be used to replace a 1997 KME engine/pumper that currently serves as a reserve unit. The current apparatus has served the department well, but is reaching a point at which it is becoming a mechanical liability. It has been repaired numerous times, but now is showing signs of inevitable catastrophic failure of the motor. Due to the condition of the department's fleet, it is used as a reserve unit more often than was initially planned. If the Fayetteville Fire Department is awarded the grant being requested, this unit would be removed from the fleet. The new apparatus would be moved to a front line status. A current front line 75' aerial that is a 2002 model would then be used as a reserve unit. This would still afford the department the ability and flexibility to use this apparatus as both an aerial and an engine. With the age of the department's fleet, and the increased call volume, it will be even more important for a solid and trusted reserve to be in place. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests a resolution for approval to apply for the 2011 Assistance to Firefighters Grant program. The amount to be requested will be $800,000.00 for the purchase of a 75' aerial fire apparatus. The city's obligation under this grant program is a 20% matching contribution of $160,000.00 if awarded. BUDGET IMPACT: Funds for the City's 20% match contribution are available in Project 03047 Fire Department Act 833 Revenue and Project 03019 Fire Apparatus Purchases. RESOLUTION NO.

The City of Fayetteville Fire Department, located in Northwest Arkansas, serves and protects the citizens and visitors of the 55 square miles that make up the city. This is accomplished by the 110 (career) uniformed personnel that operate seven stations, six engines, three ladders, one aircraft rescue, one brush unit, and multiple support/staff vehicles. Three civilian personnel assist with fire safety education, administrative assistance and coordination/documentation of the financial activities of the department. Members of the department are tasked with the usual variety of responsibilities that the fire service has becomeaccustomed to handling. Fire suppression, public education, specialized rescue, hazardous materials mitigation, fire safety codes, origin/cause investigations and medical assistance round out the short list of duties that personnel are tasked with. All uniformed personnel are trained to the level of Emergency Medical Technician. Medical transport and advanced life support is provided by a regional ambulance authority based in the city. Fayetteville has partnered with neighboring cities and departments in order to establish automatic and mutual aid agreements. Not only does this benefit the departments, but it enhances the service that each agency can provide to the people that we serve. Fayetteville's population of 73,580 citizens increases when the students return to the University of Arkansas every school year. The University represents an increase in population to the city of approximately 20,000 to 23,000 additional customers. Not only does the University provide for higher education, avenues for research and sporting events — it is host to multiple https://eservices.fema.gov/FemaFireGrant/firegrant/jsp/fire2011/application/gen_ques jsp?... 8/30/2011 Fire Department Characteristics (Part I) Page 3 of 3 camps, conferences and meetings. One of the biggest groups to come to the campus is the Walmart Shareholder's Meeting. Approximately 14,000 visitors from all around the world come to Fayetteville to attend the meeting and participate in the activities. Due to the diversity of the landscape and attractions, Fayetteville becomes the destination of more than students and corporate event participants. The natural beauty of the hills, streams and lakes in Northwest Arkansas bring people from all points of the map to our city. Scenic beauty is not the only attraction that keeps the city active. Fayetteville offers a multitude of options to keep both citizens and visitors occupied. The entertainment district of the Dickson Street area, just south of the University campus, offers restaurants, clubs, theatres and shops. In the fall of the year this area is the focus point for the third largest biker rally in the United States. Bikes, Blues and BBQ hosts approximately 400,000 visitors ready to ride the roads of Fayetteville and northwest Arkansas, and take in the patchwork of colors that Fall in the Ozarks has to offer. The personnel of the Fayetteville Fire Department are dedicated servants that stand vigilant to provide assistance and safety to all who need it in Fayetteville and surrounding areas. https://eservices.fema.gov/FemaFireGrant/firegrant/j sp/fire2011 /application/gen_ques. j sp?... 8/30/2011 Fire Department Characteristics (Part II) Page 1 of 3 Fire Department Characteristics (Part 11) 2010 2009 2008 * What is the total number of fire -related civilian fatalities in your 0 0 0 jurisdiction over the last three years? * What is the total number of fire -related civilian injuries in your 2 4 13 jurisdiction over the last three years? * What is the total number of line of duty member fatalities in your 0 0 0 jurisdiction over the last three years? *What is the total number of line of duty member injuries in your 19 32 16 jurisdiction over the last three years? * Over the last three years, what was your organization's average 8567104 operating budget? * What percentage of your TOTAL. budget is dedicated to 90 personnel costs (salary, overtime and fringe benefits)? *What percentage of your annual operating budget is derived from: Enter numbers only, percentages must sum up to 100% Taxes? 100 % EMS Billing? 0 % Grants? 0 % Donations? 0'% Fund drives? 0 % Fee for Service? 0 % Other? 0 % If you entered a value into Other field (other than 0), please explain In the City of Fayetteville, funding for essential services is generated from sales tax revenue. The Fire Department is in constant competition with other City divisions for the same resources. With the amount of growth experienced over the past few years, coupled with the current economic downturn, the needs of many of the City department's far outpace the resources available. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2000 the population of Fayetteville was 58,000. The 2010 Census listed Fayetteville's population as 73,580. That is an increase of 15,580 in ten years. By the year 2025, the population is expected to increase by an additional 40,000 people. In spite of the level of growth experienced, the Fire Department has only added two new stations since 1979. The City of Fayetteville experienced a challenging fiscal year in 2010 and those challenges have continued into 2011. Sales https://eservices.fema.gov/FemaFireGrantlfiregrant/j sp/fire20 1 1 /application/org_char.j sp?v... 8/30/2011 Fire Department Characteristics (Part 1I) * Please describe your organization's need for Federal financial assistance. We recommend typing your response in a Word Document outside of this application, then copying and pasting it into the written field. There is a 4000 character limit. Page 2 of 3 tax for city-wide operations and capital have steadily declined. The Fire Department's operating budget has suffered a 1.3% decrease in 2011 from 2010 due to the need for reductions originating from declining sales tax revenue. Actual spending has outpaced budgetary projections over the past few years due to an increase in the number of personnel, rising fuel costs and rising health care costs. Meeting the personnel cost burden has and will continue to be a challenge for the Fire Department. For this reason, funds are decreasing for normal operating expenses and non- existent for equipment. Funding to support the purchase of this life-saving equipment is far beyond our fiscal capabilities for the foreseeable future. We have approached the local government officials for assistance to purchase this truck. The department's fleet is aging and managing mechanical issues, while providing apparatus for personnel to respond in, is a daily issue. Sales tax is down and unemployment is up. The money is not available to fund a new aerial which will allow the department to move a current aerial into a reserve status. This grant will afford the department the means to have a dependable reserve aerial apparatus. The City realizes that we need this apparatus and have pledged to fund the 20% matching if we are successful in receiving the grant. We have also made an added effort to extend the operation life of our current fleet. However, within the next five years we will have to replace, or refurbish, two to three engines and one ladder truck. Revenue shortfalls in the city's sales tax still loom for the end of 2011. This will further delay our ability to purchase the proposed aerial apparatus. Funding of this request will solve the deficiencies identified. It will have a long range and a positive lasting effect on the Fayetteville Fire Department. Implementation of this project will directly benefit the citizens of our community and the surrounding area, address fundamental safety and operational issues within the department, and benefit the adjoining automatic/mutual aid fire departments. We feel that we are the type of department that the Assistance to Firefighter's Grant is designed and intended to help. The demands on our department are increasing https://eservices.fema.gov/FemaFireGrant/firegrant/jsp/fire2011/application/org_char jsp?v... 8/30/2011 Fire Department Characteristics (Part II) Page 3 of 3 disproportionately to our tax revenues and we do not have the resources to supply our firefighters. with the training and equipment they need.

Program Name Vehicle Acquisition 2. Will this grant benefit more than one organization? Yes if you answered Yes to Question 2 above, please explain. The City of Fayetteville is not an island. The request for the grant to purchase an aerial apparatus will not only serve the citizens of Fayetteville, but will also help to serve the department's mutual/automatic aid partners. It is the practice of the department, and its partners, to send the equipment requested if available. If it is not available, it is sent as soon as it becomes available and there is still a need. Most of the neighboring departments do not have aerial apparatus in their fleets. If the incident dictates the request of an aerial device, departments that can fill this request, do so. However, due to the current state of Fayetteville's fleet, it becomes an issue of leaving our city vulnerable while assisting another. This loss of flexibility, in the long run, could have catastrophic consequences. The times that the department has a reserve aerial, which could be put in service if one of the front line apparatus are out of service, has become marginal. However, the department's stance is to handle the task at hand, and to worry about "what could happen" when and if it does. Fayetteville's ladder companies do not function solely as suppression companies. The ladder companies are also tasked with vehicle extrication and specialized rescue. This duality of responsibility, suppression and rescue, further increases the value of these apparatus. Elevated waterways and access to structures is only a small facet of the ladder company's capabilities. It is not uncommon to see ladder companies assisting on fires and extrications, but also in rural areas where reach and access is limited by what an engine company's tool cache can offer. The department's ladder companies have successfully completed more than one rescue with our partners by the use of our aerial devices. The department philosophy is that the aerial is a tool — not to be used only in special circumstances, but when it can make a difference. The department has even responded to specialized incidents in cities that are not mutual/automatic aid partners and even into adjacent counties in which we could make a difference. Fayetteville has not cornered the market in regard to "hard times". Most departments are working to maintain a standard level of service with Iess..Due to this, it is even more important that departments work together to share resources. It is a fine line for emergency services to provide for the people that they are mandated to care for, while assisting other agencies meet their mandated responsibilities if they have a tool that could "make a difference". Fayetteville will continue to serve not only the citizens of the City of Fayetteville, but our mutual/automatic aid partners and their customers. 3.
