Trends

Three (3) fully depreciated Type I Engines
One (1) fully depreciated Type III Engine
Current Budget was increased - 110% expended
FY 2016/2017 Budget increased $25K ($100K Total)
Fire
Trends (cont.)
I realize this information has been presented repeatedly – but this information is critical.
The 2015/2016 budget was increased by $18K to $75K. Due to the age and significant maintenance needs of the fleet, this line item was 110% expended by May, forcing management to restrict
other expenditures in other needed programs to maintain cost offsets.
FCFA has developed a forecasted tool of “routine” maintenace needs (tires, brakes, DOT inspections, oil samples, etc.), but the numbers listed below the three rigs pictured as “big ticket”
repairs that approach 50% of the full year budget. Management would prefer not making these investments if possible.
Another replacement engine would have a dramatic effect on maintenance costs; most likely providing an opportunity to reduce this budgeted cost.
46
Fire
Trends (cont.)
A very basic graph…
The red curve is maintenance costs
The black horizontal line is the life cycle of a fire engine.
The intersection point is approximately 15-20 years from date of purchase, and is labeled as the “Point of Diminishing Return.”
Maintenance investment in a fully depreciated asset results in the yellow zone….an inefficient use of taxpayers dollars.
We need a second engine.
47
Fire
Trends (cont.) - Staffing
Staffing levels remain constrained.
As with other departments, recruiting candidates from outside of the area is very challenging due to compensation and the cost of real estate.
This graph is based on data and indicates the decline and related challenge of maintaining a firefighter program comprised of part time employees. This position is critical in terms
of patient care, fire attack, patient extrication from a vehicle accident, and special rescue.
Like other fire departments are considering (CAL FIRE), FCFA will be forced to plan for a transition from a part time program (evolved from the day of the volunteer fire department),
to a full time / career position.
