City Council/Redevelopment Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of September 21, 2009 Page 2 STUDY SESSION 1. (City Council) Study Session #1 Held - The Fire Chief presented an overview of issues related to the relocation of Fire Station 8-Heil from its present location at Heil and Springdale Streets to city -owned property at the intersection of Graham and Production. Fire Chief Duane Olson made a PowerPoint presentation entitled Proposal to Relocate Fire Station 8 - Heil to City -owned Property at Graham and Production. Presentation slides outlined activity associated with the possible relocation of Fire Station 8-Heil, and identified Insurance Services Office (ISO) Class 1 rating information, engine ISO standard, truck ISO standard, the .benefits of relocation (engine fire response, truck fire response, advanced life support response), relocation plan components, Phase I - funding and cost, engineered drawings, Phase II - future improvements, and Phase III - funding, finance and construction. Mayor Pro Tern Green questioned why certain areas on the response map were red, indicating a longer response time even when near a fire station. Chief Olson explained that locations identified in red present directional difficulties that create longer responses times. Chief Olson indicated receipt of a communication from the Fire Association. Mayor Pro Tern Green asked if the City will keep its Class I ISO rating in a temporary structure. Chief Olson responded, "Yes." Discussion ensued regarding real estate, project entitlements, the finance process, and timing. Mayor Pro Tern Green and Chief Olson discussed contingency for a better location and structured financing. Administrator Wilson commented on funds realized within 3-5 years from the Brightwater project. Councilmember Carchio and Chief Olson discussed the reasons why upgrading the existing Heil Station does not make sense, including costs estimates of $3.1 to $3.3 million for a new station with a lot size which is too small for vehicle turn -around, and how a relocation will allow the City to maintain its Class I rating. Discussion ensued on how a reduction in ISO rating will affect property owners' insurance, and concerns identified by the Fire Association regarding operational issues and their recommendation for additional review from a "truck response time" standpoint. Councilmember Carchio voiced concerns about the length of stay in a temporary building. Discussion ensued on home sales associated with the Brightwater development. Councilmember Coerper and Chief Olson discussed Orange County Fire Authority area coverage and temporary housing for Fire personnel. Councilmember Hardy and Chief Olson discussed temporary housing for Fire equipment (stored during construction, length of time). Councilmember Hardy favored postponing action until a permanent structure can be built, rather than considering a temporary structure. She also stated support for Fire Association input. Councilmember Hansen voiced concerns about implementing temporary housing, stating his opinion that action shouldn't be taken until funding is secured. City Council/Redevelopment Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of September 21, 2009 Page 3 Councilmember Coerper questioned project timing, and Administrator Wilson discussed Brightwater involvement. Staff advised that the $3 million balance in the Fire Med fund can not be used to fund this project. Chief Olson explained that Council should consider an approval to move forward in the conditional use process. Mayor Pro Tern Green voiced concerns regarding separating Fire Med funds used for emergency purposes being separate from the General Fund. Mayor Bohr reiterated that the proposal presents many things to consider, and does not have a consensus from Council to move forward. Mayor Pro Tern Green disagreed, and questioned the location of emergency services funds. Councilmember Hansen stated the issues need to be cleared up before action can be taken. It was recommended that a study session be held on the accounting of emergency services funds. Councilmember Hansen concluded discussion by questioning how Council could possibly commit to relocating an entire Fire Station when necessary project funds have not been secured. 2. (City Council) Study Session #2 Held - The City Administrator and Director of Finance presented an overview of the City's Five Year Financial Plan. Bob Wingenroth, Director of Finance, made a PowerPoint presentation dated September 21, 2009 entitled Five -Year Financial Plan with slides that identified benefits of a five-year plan, approach to building the plan, basis of estimate, revenue components, revenue assumptions mid -range, expenditure components, example of expenditure plan that begins to fit available revenue, mid -range revenue versus Scenario 1 expenditures, and next steps. Councilmember Dwyer voiced concerns about mid -year budget deficits that increase future fiscal year shortfalls, questioning what issues could be removed from the books, citing the purchase of Le Bard Park, construction of the proposed senior center, and vacant positions as examples to consider.
