INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Fortuna Fire Protection District (“District” or “Fortuna FPD”) is a dependent special district authorized to provide fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical services and any other services relating to the protection of lives and property pursuant to the Fire Protection District Law of 1987 (Division 12, Part 2.7 of the Health and Safety Code, Section 13800 et seq.), which supersedes prior fire protection district laws. The Fortuna FPD provides fire protection services including fire prevention, public education, preparedness, and emergency response to the City of Fortuna and the outlying communities of Alton, Hydesville, Metropolitan, Fernbridge and Palmer Creek. The area encompasses 26 square miles with a population of approximately 15,000. Five fire companies consisting of 13 members each work out of three fire stations within the district. The command staff consists of one Fire Chief, two Assistant Fire Chiefs, and one Safety Officer for a total membership of 69. All members are volunteer with the exception of the full-time Fire Chief position. The District’s apparatus consists of one type-1 pumper, three type-2 pumpers, one wildland urban interface pumper, two water tenders, one light rescue, one medium rescue, a 100 foot aerial, and three command vehicles. Also in reserve is a 50 foot quint. The Volunteer Fire Department responds to an average of 300 emergency calls per year and an additional 150-200 minor requests for service and/or investigations, normally handled by the command staff. Mutual aid agreements exist for assistance throughout the county along with auto-aid agreements with neighboring fire districts. The Fortuna FPD’s public protection classification (PPC) has seen constant improvement over the years. The classification is used as a means to evaluate a community’s fire protection service and ties directly to insurance premiums. The classification rating scale is from 1 to 10, with 1 representing exemplary fire service and 10 indicating the areas’ fire suppression program does not meet minimum criteria. The Fortuna FPD’s PPC in all areas of the district that are within 1,000 feet of a hydrant is currently a class 4, which improved from a class 5 in 2010. The PPC for areas in which the fire district has to supply water (categorized as more than 1,000 feet from a hydrant) is currently a class 5, which improved from a class 8 to a 7 in 2010. This improvement is a direct reflection of the District’s current state of equipment, extensive efforts on the part of the volunteers, and utilization of resources outside of the agency. Training, public education, and fire prevention are all high priorities for the Fortuna FPD. The District’s public education program includes a schools fire safety program, senior and civic group presentations, and fire and life safety information through the Department’s website and social media. The District’s fire prevention program includes plan review and inspections of fire protection systems in new and remodeled construction as well as an established yearly cycle for inspections of schools, hospital, care homes, hotels/motels,

and apartment complexes. The District’s business inspection program currently consists of a self-inspection with a follow-up by request (in process of being established). The District is funded by a very small percentage (.04%) of property taxes, a benefit assessment which was approved by voters in 1997 to replace funding lost due to proposition 218, a small amount of proposition 172 funds which was approved by voters after funds were shifted from public safety to public education, income from leased property next to the Fortuna Main Station, and funding from a few other miscellaneous resources. The donations made to the Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department, a separate entity, are used for various expenses including uniforms, functions such as open house events and the annual dinner, the Explorer and CERT programs, memorial services, and furniture and other fixtures within the facilities. These departmental expenses are not covered through the Fortuna FPD budget. The Fortuna FPD is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners that are responsible for overseeing fiscal responsibility for the residents of the fire district. The District Board meets once per month on the second Monday at 7pm at the Fortuna Main Station. Meetings are open to the public. The District Board has been extremely diligent in using tax payer funds in a very careful and methodical manner. The District’s budget is balanced year-in and year-out with a 30 year apparatus replacement plan in effect that allows the department to operate some of the best equipment in the county. The current remodel of sleeping quarters in the upstairs area of the Fortuna Main Station is being constructed with funding already saved and allocated by the District Board, and is on track for completion in the fall of 2015. The District has a proven track record of being fiscally responsible and is dedicated to continuing that effort. The Fortuna FPD recently conducted a 20-year strategic plan and outreach program aimed at developing a cost-effective plan that will improve the level of service to the community and build a reliable and effective volunteer organization. Through this process, the District identified the following objectives:

• To implement and maintain a comprehensive fire prevention program to promote fire and life safety

• To develop cost-effective staffing programs, professional training, and response opportunities that will promote and sustain the volunteer fire department for the long-term

Through the planning process it was determined that the development of a substantial fire prevention program was one of the District’s higher priorities, a program which has now been established but is under-manned, currently lacking the ability to properly manage, grow and sustain the program.

Additional identified needs involve facilities, firefighter training, and firefighter safety. While the department does an excellent job of providing training opportunity to its volunteers through a well-established training program covering basic firefighter skills, medical first responder and driver-operator training, there is a need for additional areas of training as well as an adequate training facility. In addition, the development of cost effective resident (internship) and volunteer shift programs would allow for consistent staffing at a fraction of the cost for career staffing. This would support additional administrative staff to oversee the administration, operational, prevention, and public education programs that would be of most benefit to the community. The Fortuna FPD is committed to providing a level of service that is in line with the needs of the community from all standpoints - emergency response, fire prevention, and financial management. As a result of the limited amount of available funds to implement the services, programs and improvements identified in the 20-year strategic plan, the Fortuna FPD is proposing a Fire Protection, Fire Prevention, and Emergency Response Services Assessment (“Assessment”). This Engineer’s Report (“Report”) establishes a budget for the services and improvements that would be funded by the proposed assessment commencing in Fiscal Year 2016-17, determines the benefits received from the proposed services and improvements by property within the District, and identifies the method of assessment apportionment to parcels within the District. This Report and the proposed assessment have been made in compliance with California Government Code 50078 et seq. and Article XIIID of the California Constitution.

ASSESSMENT PROCESS

Following submittal of this Report to the Fortuna FPD for preliminary approval, the District Board may, by Resolution, call for an assessment ballot proceeding and public hearing on the proposed establishment of a Fire Protection, Fire Prevention, and Emergency Response Services Assessment. If the District Board approves such a Resolution and calls for an assessment ballot proceeding, a notice of assessment and assessment ballot will be mailed to each property owner at least 45 days prior to the date of the Public Hearing set by the District Board. Such notice would include a description of the services and improvements to be funded by the proposed assessment, the total amount of the proposed assessment and the amount chargeable to the owner’s parcel, the reasons for the proposed assessment and the basis upon which it was calculated, and an explanation of the process for submitting a ballot. Each notice will include a ballot on which the property owner may mark his or her approval or disapproval of the proposed assessment and a ballot return envelope. After the ballots are mailed to property owners, a minimum 45-day time period must be provided for the return of the assessment ballots. Following this time period, a public hearing must be held for the purpose of allowing public testimony regarding the proposed assessments. At this hearing, the public will have the opportunity to provide input on this issue and would have a final opportunity to submit ballots. After the conclusion of the public input portion of the hearing, the hearing may be continued to a later time to allow time for the tabulation of ballots. If it is determined when the tabulation results are announced that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment do not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the assessment (weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which ballots are submitted), the Board may take action, by resolution, to approve the levy of the assessment for fiscal year 2016-17 and each fiscal year thereafter. If the assessment is so confirmed and approved, the Board will order the levy of the assessment to be submitted to the Humboldt County Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for fiscal year 2016-17. As such, the District would commence in fiscal year 2016-17 to establish and provide the services and improvements described in this report.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES The Fortuna Fire Protection District provides a range of fire protection, prevention, and other fire and emergency response services. The proposed benefit assessment would provide a significant portion of funding for four major areas of service and infrastructure improvements, including:

1. Comprehensive Fire Prevention Program 2. Volunteer Firefighter Staffing Programs and Training 3. Increased Administrative and Operational Staffing 4. Campton Heights Station Relocation and New Training Facility

Below is a more detailed description of these services, programs, and improvements. COMPREHENSIVE FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM Fire prevention saves lives by focusing on fire and life safety issues within a community, consisting of:

• Inspection and Code Enforcement. Performing inspections at schools, hospital, senior living centers, motels, apartment complexes, businesses and assemblies where numbers of people gather in order to assure fire and life safety for the members of our community.

• Plan Review. Assuring that the required fire protection is considered in new development within our community.

• Fire Pre-Planning. Developing contingency plans to deal with victim rescue, firefighter safety, and fire suppression for buildings which may pose a higher risk.

• Public Education. Establishing programs directed at informing the members of our community about fire and life safety within their homes, workplace, and schools.

Implementing a comprehensive fire prevention program is a top priority of proposed assessment and would involve training and staffing a full-time fire prevention officer that would provide leadership in the prevention and mitigation of fire and other related hazardous conditions in the community. VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHER STAFFING PROGRAMS AND TRAINING For most volunteers in the fire service, it is not about the money but rather the opportunity to respond and help citizens in their time of need. Coupled with advanced and professional training opportunities and a small token of appreciation in the form of a financial reimbursement to cover basic expenses, volunteers can be motivated to want to be a part of the organization. The following programs and activities would help to support the Fortuna Volunteer Firefighters:

Page 9: FIRE PROTECTION, FIRE PREVENTION & EMERGENCY …fortunafire.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Fortuna... · Fire Protection District Law of 1987 (Division 12, Part 2.7 of the Health

Page 7

• Resident (Intern) Program. A no-cost program offering room and board to volunteers pursuing an education in exchange for a commitment to a minimum number of required 12 hour shifts per month.

• Volunteer Staffing Program. Reimbursement for basic expenses to volunteers that are willing to pull a 12 hour shift providing emergency response to the community as well as fulfilling station duties.

• Paid Call Program. Minimal pay for attendance to fire/rescue calls and training. Improved and increased firefighting staffing levels will significantly contribute to improved safety and protection of real property within the District. INCREASED ADMINISTRATIVE AND OPERATIONAL STAFF The fire district currently employs a full-time Fire Chief who oversees department operations, prevention, personnel, and handles the bulk of the clerical duties along with a part-time district secretary. The proposal includes the part-time secretary position to become full-time, the prevention program to be administered by a full-time prevention officer, and eventually (within 5 to 6 years) the addition of two Fire Captains to oversee shift programs including scheduling, response, and station duties. CAMPTON HEIGHTS STATION RELOCATION AND NEW TRAINING FACILITY Fire station and training facilities are motivational factors for volunteer firefighters. The Campton Heights fire station is in a poor location creating a safety hazard due to lack of parking. The station has been in use for 48 years and is well maintained but is undersized for today’s fire service. Relocation of this facility is included in the proposed plan. A training facility is also proposed to enhance training opportunities for volunteer firefighters. Property purchases for both the Campton Heights fire station relocation and the new training facility would be funded by previously allocated funds (not part of proposed budget/assessment).

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The California Constitution and subsequent statute provide for a Benefit Assessment process as outlined in Government Code 50078 et seq. These measures provide for assessment on a proportion of the cost as proposed that is appropriate to the benefit received by the property. The assessment is prohibited from being "ad valorem" based, that is, based on the property value as determined by the County Assessor. In 1997, the Fortuna FPD established a benefit assessment at a rate of $3.00 per unit of benefit on a use-of-property basis. Since then, the assessment has not been updated to reflect the increasing demand for fire protection services and the increasing costs to provide these services. The proposed assessment update assigns a “unit value” to each of the properties within the District based on the current Land Use Code of the property, following a number of corrections to property classifications. The unit assignment varies from 1 unit for a vacant parcel to 20 units for a Heavy/Industrial parcel. For example, a typical single-family residence is assigned 4 Units of Benefit and each Unit of Benefit is assessed at $18.00 for a total of $72.00 per year. If approved, the prior assessment would be repealed and the new assessment would take its place. Therefore, a typical single-family residence that currently pays $12.00 per year (4 Units of Benefit at $3.00 per Unit) would be charged a total of $72.00 per year, or an additional $60.00. The assignment of units is summarized in Attachment “A”. Attachment “B” specifies the Land Use Code, unit assignment for that code, the number of “Land Use Code” parcels within the district, the unit value for each use code, and the revenue to be generated for all properties within that Land Use Code. Attachment “C” shows the exterior boundaries of the Assessment District which are coterminous with the Fortuna FPD boundary. The distinctive number for each parcel in the District is the Assessor’s Parcel Number appearing on the Assessment Roll. Parcels that are owned or used by a public agency will be assessed based on their level of improvement. In addition, the assessment measure has no inflationary provision and will only grow based on new construction activity. With regard to the duration of the assessment, it is proposed that the assessment be levied for fiscal year 2016-17 and continued every year thereafter, so long as the Fortuna FPD requires the assessment funding to provide the proposed services and improvements. While the Fortuna FPD Board of Commissioners may determine that the amount of the assessment be maintained or lowered, the assessment cannot be raised above the specified $18.00 per Unit of Benefit.
