As Sarah shares her story, tears still come as she talks about what could have happened, and hopes her story will inspire others to install and maintain smoke alarms in their own homes. The Boyds had moved into their home in 2003.The house was built in 1978. There was one hardwired smoke alarm on the third floor of the house. As a precaution, the couple purchased several fire extinguishers for the kitchen and garage. _ ��. A few years later they started a family which grew to a son, daughter, _ rt .E_,:� and several pets. When their son, Kenny, started preschool, he wanted x� ' to be a firefighter and was thrilled when firefighters from the Kent Fire ��'� � _ �a� t;,� Department Regional Fire Authority came to the school to talk about fire , safety. The school's Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPs) had arranged for a f� K . ,, � public educator to come and talk about home fire safety. Sarah listened and �� . `� � ,-.� �.:; �� decided to take action after learning about what she could do to protect her ;F,�s family. Upon returning home, Sarah informed Keith that they needed to: 1. Install working smoke alarms in every bedroom, in the hallway - :. • . outside the bedrooms, and at least one on every level of the house. - • - - • • - • -�• • 2. Test the alarms at least once each month and replace the batteries • ' - • ' • -• annually. - • '• 3. Sleep with bedroom doors closed to keep smoke and heat out of sleeping areas. 4.

Smoke Alarms lmprove as TeChnology lmproves Simply put, they save l�ves By Public Education Specialist Kirsti Weaver There is never a shortage of inedia stories describing deadly fires sweeping through homes, tragically claiming the lives of children and adults. All too often firefighters find the homes were missing smoke alarms or they were not working because the batteries were removed or dead. Smoke alarm technology has developed over the years, resulting in improvements and efficiencies in protecting homes. Smoke alarms can be purchased with a ten-year lithium battery, no more remembering to change the battery. The alarm also comes with a ten-year end of life indicator which will alert the resident it is time to replace the smoke detector unit(sl. There are two different types of fires: fast burning fire and slow smoldering fire. Technology improvements in smoke alarms now can detect the difference. Photoelectric sensor smoke alarms are better at detecting slow smoldering fires such as a cigarette in a garbage can, and ionization senor smoke alarms at detecting fast flaming ones, like a stovetop fire. As a further safety precaution, you can now buy dual sensor smoke alarms that contain both photoelectric and ionization sensors. Common sources of home fires come from the clothes dryer, electrical outlets and appliances, portable and baseboard electric heaters, candles, smoking, fireplaces, and the number one cause of fires: COOKING. While we will never know what kind of fire we may have in the home, it is safest to have the protection of dual sensing alarms. New smoke alarm products now address "nuisance" warnings. This occurs when cooking in the kitchen or steam from a bathroom sets off the smoke alarm. People tend to ignore the warning ala���� �� worse, remove the battery. Nuisance free technology allows a smart sensing microchip to detect between a real fire and a non-threatening smoke or steam. Hush or mute buttons allow for quick silencing of the alarm. � _ �,�, ,� � �� _: ��-�, � Interconnected batter o erated smoke alarms are ideal to have, es eciall in � - - - -""�` Y P P Y --�� � -- two and three story homes.

Kent � Emergency Management along with the Kent Fire Department RFA has an important relationship with area businesses that utilize these hazardous materials. Over 150 companies located in Kent are required to report the hazardous materials stored or used in their various processes. When used correctly and safely,these materials aid in such things as refrigeration for our food and the manufacturing of products we use.While these materials benefit the community and add jobs to the local economy, the risk they present must also be managed. The City of Kent maintains a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) to manage that risk. The LEPC is recognized by the State of Washington to work with local companies to meet the requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act(EPCRA).

Five years ago, the RFA provided service out of 8 fire stations to an area of 49 square miles with 140,000 residents. Today, we operate out of 11 fire stations and serve approximately 60 square miles with almost 175,000 residents. For the future, the RFA has had ongoing discussions with the cities of � Tukwila and Maple Valley in regard to consolidation of emergency response services.The RFA allows members to have shared operational standards, policies, and a unified organizational culture.We have implemented a strategic plan which will assist in the path of strengthening , our current organization while laying a solid foundation for our future growth. " This past March the RFA's international accreditation was renewed by the Commission of Fire Accreditation International. We have been I', internationally accredited as a department since 2004, and we will remain accredited as an RFA through 2019 when we will need to proceed ' through the reaccreditation process. One of the most significant accomplishments the RFA has achieved over the past five years has been its financial -�_ { navigation of the recession through strategic and sustainable �`� ` � � budgeting and responsible management of the FBC. Per state ,, ' �� Iaw,an FBC cannotexceed morethan 60%ofthe organization's -� , =� �°, °` � operating budget. Over the past five years,the RFA has been + �- diligent in minimizing the financial impact to the community �� r y � �, through the thoughtful use of resources and future planning 4 ;� , }� �`��`�: ���_�., ` which has resulted in the RFA never having to utilize the 60% � �=�� �� fee authority. In fact, the RFA has consistently held the line �.°,` % tt -¢;''' � � � on the tax payer burden by maintaining an FBC below 48% " ` 'a `� ` of our operating budget. The RFA Governance Board has � h=,'� � � ; , � � been very sensitive to increases in taxes and charges while '� I�� �� � ;� " ; maintaining the high quality of service that you have come �► ��, � to expect. We will continue to look for efficiencies in the � :y RFA, such as consolidation with other organizations, grant fi.r.,- , opportunities, and shared services in order to keep tax and i k. y` '.a,.^'�..�,y . ;.v>. r y -- - — �--�- - =--- ---- fee increases as low as possible. � Prolessionally and Compassionately Helping Peopie � ' o � Kent Fire Department �,yyy�,yKenttirerfa.org ? @Kentfirerfa � Regional Fire Authority „. �'� � FDCARES — Conf�nuail Work�n fo Y � Develo Heaifhcare Parfnersh� s p p Expanding the medica! services offered by your fire department By Division Chief Mitch Snyder ..

Employee Profile — Elizabeth l�in�ery � , Behind Station 76 (20676 72 Ave. S.) is a division of the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority that the - .�-.,. public rarely hears about, but that is critical to our ability to respond to emergency calls for help. ' �` The department's fleet maintenance division, or Fire Garage as it is known within the department, is where all of our emergency apparatus go for work to keep them "response ready': In addition to the mechanics, it is the workplace of Elizabeth Kingery. ` V Elizabeth's role at the Fire Garage is fleet operations support.This means she wears many hats that include purchasing the parts needed to keep a fire engine or aid car running, working with invoices, budgets, as well as tracking mileage and fuel usage of all emergency vehicles. ` Because the Fire Garage contracts maintenance work for several other fire departments, her workload is not � ,. limited to just the Kent Fire Department RFA. According to Elizabeth, what she enjoys most about working at the Fire Garage is;'... the collaborative efforts and ability of our work group to adapt to any encounter or issue brought into the shop. In situations where time is short, or efforts required seem insurmountable,we unite and everyone gives 110%. I also enjoy the fact that our unit as a whole is committed to doing the right thing.We are constantly looking for ways to improve and 'efficify' (my new made up word) our efforts but still maintain our responsibilities to the residents of our community': � i � �' � i , ' ' � Fire Prevention: -, -,r � ........................................253-856-4400 � � ......................... � . � : - r � Public Education & Information• 253-856-4480 M �S�o n d e r CPR and First Aid Classes• .............253-856-4300 ■ Kent F;r� Disaster Preparedness: ......................................................253-856-4440 <<�.�a���,., �.,.,,. ��;�„ ` � 24611 116th Avenue SE Kent,WA 9803 RFA Governance Board: ....................................................253-856-4300 • 0 , Fire Chief: Jim Schneider .................................................253-856-4300 �� CiOl1�'aG'f p�lOn@ Nu11'Ibe�'$ Newsletter Editor• Capt.

Direct costs of services are derived by multiplying the number of staff contracted to provide services by the City of Renton's salary and benefit costs for that contract yeaz. The contract year salary and benefit cost shall be calculated using the annualized current yeaz-to-date actual cost for each position class(e.g. captain,lieutenant, firefighter,etc.), plus any Cost of Living Adjustment and budgeted increase in benefit cost for the contract year. The resulting direct service cost is then multiplied by a departmental overhead and a city-wide overhead factor. All three figures aze then added together to reach a total cost of service. The City, as part of the organizational structure of the fire depaztment,staffs a Safety and Support Services Section. This section includes Health and Wellness, Logistics and Planning. The Training Division is a Division of Response Operations. The City will also supply to the District allocated Administrative Support Services(Finance&Clerical)as outlined below. The costs of these divisions and services shall be included in department and/or city-wide overhead factors. The Safety and Support Services Section and the Training Division overhead shall be phased in over four years starting 2015. The District desires and the City agrees to remove a dedicated Admin Secretary position and convert to a proportional pooled Administrative Support Service modet through overhead cost factors effective October 1,2015. Due to some of these services not being transferred unti12016,the parties agree the service costs reflect this change to start January 1,2016. In addition, a percent of the chiefls and deputy chiefs costs shall be part of the Department Overhead being chazges and paid for beginning in 2016. For 2015,the District's cost of service under this agreement total$4.53 million. For 2016,the District's annualized cost for service under this agreement is no greater than$4.90 million (including adjusted Department Overhead to reflect the above changes).

The primary unit of cost is the number of 24-hour on-duty positions(command,company officer. and firefighter)employed to provide fire and emergency services. Once on-duty staffing is determined,a backfill factor is calculated based upon Renton's leave/time-off averages. Renton's operations backfill factor is 4.7 per on-duty position(that is,for every one firefighter on duty, four and seven-tenths FTEs aze needed to provide 24-hour coverage). "Departmental overhead"refers to the Fire Department's costs,which is the proportion of commissioned and non-commissioned positions that perform department management,planning, safety,training, logistics, health and wellness, and similaz assignments/functions. These functions,their names/titles may be changes from time to time, aze essential to and in support of the suppression positions.

In the past few years, Risk Management has surveyed other methods of insuring the city's exposures in hopes of lowering the costs. Risk Management has now determined that it is in the city's best interests to withdraw from WCIA and to purchase commercial insurance. The city submitted tentative withdrawal notices to the WCIA insurance pool in 2013 and late 2014. In lieu of coverage being provided by WCIA, effective January 1, 2016, the city's property and casualty insurance claims will be self-insured and self-administered, with commercial liability excess insurance being provided for losses in excess of the currently approved $250,000 per occurrence retention limit. Commercial insurance quotes obtained by the city's Property and Casualty Insurance Broker of Record have ' shown that im roved property and casualty coverage can be obtained with a combined overall annual savings P of approximately$160,000.This annual savings is in excess of the estimated cost to contract with a Liability ' Claims Administrator. It is also recommended that the self-insured retention limit for property losses be increased to up to$100,000 per occurrence from the current$50,000 retention level. The retention level for auto physical damage will remain at$25,000 per occurrence. The city is already self-insured for workers' compensation with a retention level of$500,000 per claim. (See attachment.) A comprehensive self-insurance program allows the city to take advantage of insurance reserve funds, better , utilize the City Attorney's services for defense or defense referral, and secures the city's final authority to settle claims that were previously fully controlled by WCIA. . . None ' � ' • �� • .

Under this system,the Fire Department is funded by: a. A property tax of up to $1.00 per$1,000 assessed values of property to support day to day operations and capital needs of the fire department;and b. A Fire Benefit Charge(FBC) of up to 60o/0 of the operating budget and can be used only for day to day operational expenses such as salaries,equipment,fuel and utilities. I. Fire Benefit Charge - (FBC) Formula FBC is only imposed on improvements to real property and personal property, and must be reasonably apportioned based on the services afforded to these properties. The primary factor '� of the formula is based upon the amount of"required fire flov�' or water needed to extinguish a fire,the number of firefighters and equipment needed to effectively deliver the required fire flow and their associated cost for fighting a fire in the type and size of structure being assessed. As structure size or fire loading within a structure increases, the need for required fire flow, firefighters, and equipment also increases. The following formula is adopted for calculating the FBC for Renton Regional Fire Authority. The formula is based on the Insurance Services Office(ISO) required fire flow,fire risk,and firefighting effort factors. FBC = Area* 18 * Category Factor (CF) * Fire Flow Factor/Cost per Gallon (CPG) * Effective Response Factor(ERF) * Hazard Factor (HF) * Discount(s) A matrix showing initial values of these factors is attached herein as Exhibit 1. The initial values, factors, discounts and exemptions are subject to change as necessary to comply with the statutory requirements of RCW 52.26.180. II. Definitions: 1. Area. The square root of the total gross square feet of the buildings/structures located upon the property. FBC will not be applied to parcels with a total improvement square footage less than 400 sq.ft. 2. Category Factor (CF). The category factor is based upon building use and size.

PUBLIC HEARING Ballot Measure Regarding a Proposed Regional Fire Authority-This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State Laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to consider adopting a resolution to place a proposition before the voters at the April 2016 election seeking authorization for creating a Regional Fire Authority(RFA)to serve the City of Renton and Fire District No. 25 (FD#25). Chief Peterson reported on why the City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department and FD#25 believe establishing an RFA would be the best course of action to improve fire and emergency services for residents within the service area. He further explained that due to increasing demands, if both entities do not receive additional funding their ability to provide timely emergency services will be compromised. Administrative Services Administrator Iwen Wang further explained the basic funding mechanism for the RFA by reviewing the history of the City's cost reduction during the recession and the limited resources the City was faced during a time of substantial City growth.She proposed the following actions to bridge the gap in funding: • Further cut General Fund services to reserve as much ublic safet service as P p Y possible. • Implement a Citywide property tax increase (requires a lid-lift levy). • Implement a special levy to fund a new fire station. • Ask voters to implement a "Fire Benefit Charge." � Place a joint RFA ballot measure at the April 2016 election. • Take no action. Chief Peterson explained that the Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department sustained funding services through the recession by reducing staffing, consolidating training functions, reducing the number of annual inspections, and eliminating public outreach and preventive programs. He further outlined the widening gap in Fire and Emergency Service delivery. Following this summary,Chief Peterson described how implementing an RFA would benefit the residents in Renton and the FD#25 area. Some benefits include the addition of a new fire station in the Kennydale neighborhood, ensuring funding could meet population growth, restoring and enhancing service levels, improving response times, and removing financial stressors on other City services. He further relayed that if the RFA is not passed response times will continue to degrade,there will not be a new fire station in the Kenydale area,there will be no proactive programs,frequency of annual fire inspections will diminish,and the department will face an increasingly difficult time meeting the needs of the community. Ms. Wang concluded the presentation with a detailed explanation of what the costs will look like for voters if the RFA is approved. She also noted that cost impacts can be calculated by using the cost calculator on the proposed RFA website at rentonrfa.org. DECEMBER 14, 2015 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 2 Correspondence was received by Council from Bernard Kande expressing opposition to the proposed implementation of an RFA. Public comment was invited.The following individuals addressed Council: • Charles Seil, Renton, expressed his concerns with reduced response times within the Kennydale area and his support for the proposed RFA. • Kerry Abercrombie, Renton, Fire Commissioner in FD#25 spoke about the increased growth and decreased resources within the Fire District and voiced his support for the proposed RFA to be put before the voters. • Tom Tasa, Renton,expressed his support for placing the proposed RFA on the ballot in April and requested a dedicated aid car at station 16. • Greg Markley,Auburn, Batallion Chief in Kent, explained what the Kent RFA went through in 2009 when it decided to pass a proposal to implement an RFA. He recommended that Council support this measure and place it before the voters. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON,SECONDED BY PRINCE,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2015 and beyond.

The department has reached a point where it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the needs of the community. The department not only faces the challenge of addressing the needs of the community today, but also faces the challenge of implementing resources and programs that can proactively meet the needs of the future. The proposed Regional Fire Authority would allow the department to: 1) Enhance service levels in order to significantly reduce response times in the north end of the City. 2) Add an additional resource to help reduce the number of times that emergency apparatus have to travel outside of their fire management zones to cover for emergency apparatus that are unavailable to respond to emergency incidents in their own primary fire management zone due to other emergency incidents. , 3) Provide additional resources to help meet current emergency and non-emergency � service demands. 4) Place resources in service that can begin to address future demands. 5) Institute programs that can proactively concentrate on some of the most significant challenges that Renton Fire & Emergency Services is presently dealing with. Impact of Population It is well documented that population has a significant impact on emergency service response activity levels. Over the past 7 years, Renton's population has grown by 2 percent. The Department of Community and Economic Development has projected that the population in the City of Renton will increase by almost an additional 40,000 people over the next twenty years. This will be a direct result of annexations and people moving into the area. The following chart illustrates the population increase that occurred between 2008 and 2015. The chart additionally shows what the population increase is projected to be for the next 15 years, and demonstrates the relationship between the population and the continual increase in requests for emergency services. Incident counts include out of jurisdiction incidents and the 2015 through 2030 incident counts are projected year end amounts. The population amounts for 2020 & 2030 are projected from the US Census data.

A significant portion of this area has response times that well exceed the City's adopted response time standard of 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Additionally, this area is served by the ' nl hel de artment s two busiest stations. Addin a station in this location would not o P 9 Y P significantly reduce response times in the north end of the department's service area, it would also help reduce the emergency service call load on the finro stations that presently deliver services to this area, and help reduce the number of times that stations throughout the emergency service delivery system have to respond to emergency incidents that are outside their own fire management zones. Proactive Proarams Needed Over the past seven years, the overwhelming majority of the City's fire loss has resulted from fires in apartment complexes. The fires have not only had a significant impact on the annual fire loss experienced within the City, they have also displaced numerous occupants. Unfortunately, there is no system in place to quantify the significant number of occupants that have been displaced by fires occurring in apartment complexes. However, the department does track the annual fire loss that has occurred as a result of fires in apartment complexes. The following graph shows the dollar loss per year for apartment buildings over the past seven years in comparison to the number of apartment complex fires that have occurred.

There are presently 10 adult care facilities within Renton Fire & Emergency Services jurisdictional boundaries, and there are several more scheduled to be added in the next couple of years. Both the emergency and non-emergency needs of these facilities have a significant impact on Renton Fire & Emergency Service's emergency service delivery system.

Each one of the efforts implemented has had a direct consequence on the services that are available to the community. Cost reduction efforts resulting from the downturn in the economy included: • Reducing funded FTEs (1 Deputy Chief, 1 Lead Inspector& 1 Fire Inspector) • Staffing reduction on Engine 16 from 4 to 3 • Consolidating communications function (Public Information & Education)with City Communications Division. This resulted in sending two communications FTEs to this division. • Reprioritized life safety fire inspections based on risk • Eliminating a dedicated public education position Operational Efficiency Efforts Realizing that additional funding would not be available to make some of the operational changes the department would ideally like to make, Renton Fire & Emergency Services has also implemented a number of operational changes designed to help meet the needs of the community with the resources that are presently available. Although the operational efficiency efforts have worked, the department is presently working to compensate for gaps in the emergency services deployment system. Operational efficiency efforts have included: • Adjusting first due response areas to balance emergency incident call volumes � Redeploying resources to help manage the emergency incident responses (Moved ladder from Station 14 to 11, removed Aid 14 from service and placed Engine 14 in service) � Joined the South King County Fire Training Consortium to consolidate training with seven other fire departments. Our Concerns As an organization, we pride ourselves on working hard to meet both the emergency and non- emergency needs of the community. We recognize that the department plays a key role in ensuring that Renton and King County Fire District#25 have healthy and safe communities. We are concerned that we are going to have an increasingly difficult time providing the services needed. Some of our key concerns include the following: • Current and future budgets do not support: o Consistent daily apparatus staffing o Sustainable service delivery based on today's deployment model Professionalism • Integrity • Leadership • Accountability • Respect Page 5 of 6 .. , . • Future revenue forecasts limit the ability for the department to build programs proactively address: o Service area growth ' o Low acuity calls o Public information, outreach and education programs • Uncertainty as to the funding that will be available to provide services in the future o The City is anticipating a $5.8 million dollar budget deficit in 2018, and we are uncertain as to what impact that might have on the funds available for our organization. o King County Fire District#25 is already at the maximum dollar amount per thousand it is permitted to collect. Future annexations or another recession will prevent the District from having the budget it presently has to work with. � Grant funding that has been relied upon to maintain staffing levels are a short term solution and are not a reliable funding source. • Increased commercial development is taxing the ability to provide timely building plan review, acceptance inspections and annual fire inspections. 'I � Businesses not being inspected on a more frequent basis could lead to increased fire I loss and life safety concerns. '� • Lack of resources impact staff workload.
