The detail and support documents provided within this 2008 Annual Report provide much more comprehensive information relevant to the Mound Fire Department. It is all good information for your review. Please contact Fire Chief Greg Pederson if you have any questions, comments about the information, or would like to discuss any of the issues. Introduction and Overview The year 2008 was another year of success and much progress for the Mound Fire Department. This year we focused on training of firefighters and fire officers, an Insurance Services Public Protection Classification Audit for all the service cities, tightening Budgets and Financial Management, extension of our fire service contracts, and the continued implementation of our Apparatus Replacement Program. Our well trained staff is and remains our most important asset. I reluctantly reduced our staff of firefighters (due to budgets and financial conservativeness) throughout 2008. Our staff was reduced by three firefighters as our staff of firefighters went from 45 to 42 in 2008. Considering both the nationwide and local trend of less people volunteering as firefighters, I struggle with my decision to reduce staff. The decision to reduce staff might be short sighted as recruiting has become a problem for many fire departments nationwide. Footnote: we currently have a waiting list of firefighter applicants. In 2008 our calls for service for both Fire and Rescue call activity was down slightly from the 2007 levels. Our fire department emergency call outs in 2008 were 533 vs. the 2007 call outs of 559. Our firefighter response hours for the year were down minimally about 2% lower with a total firefighter emergency response hours at 11,786 hours. More detail relative to the department activity is provided later in this report. The Mound firefighter's commitment and dedication help sustain the goals and accomplishments of the Mound Fire Department. Once again in 2008, we have made significant progress towards our goal of continuous improvement. We have also made very good progress on our department Strategic Plan and Initiatives with respect to staffing, operations, and apparatus. This annual report will focus primarily on what I consider the key critical components necessary to meet the ever changing needs of the fire service, including: administration and organization, staff and resources, apparatus and equipment, facilities, strategic planning, challenges, and budgets (financial support). Today in these economic times, budgets, financial management, and conservative spending are more of a focus than ever before. The Mound Fire department continues to maintain a very high level of active volunteer (paid -on -call) firefighter staff. We currently have a staff of 42 volunteer firefighters, plus one full time administrative assistant and a full time fire chief. We currently have a luxury that many fire departments do not have in that we continue to have a substantial waiting list of firefighter applicants. (refer to our waiting list included in this report). The following points about organizational resources are supported by the documentation and graphs included in the pages that follow (please refer to the lists, graphs, and charts). • We did not have any new hires in 2008, and actually reduced our staff of firefighters by three. The three firefighters that left the department were due to: 2 left for retirement upon completion of 20 years of service and 1 firefighter that owns a business and could no longer dedicate the volunteer time. Our MFD Fire Companies and Staff information is included with this report. • Firefighters Ron Stallman (20 years of service) retired 8/01/07 and Kevin Grady (20 years of service) retired 8/11/08. Thank you to both of them for their service! • Fire and Rescue calls for service were at a normal level in 2008. The overall activity level however was quite demanding with a total of 11,786 personnel hours spent at fires and other emergency calls (refer to 2008 activity report). • Mutual Aid requests and hours for Mound Fire continue to rise. • Our fire department response consistently generates an average of 20 -22 firefighters per emergency call. This high number of responders is an extremely good response, as compared to many other volunteer or paid fire departments. • MFD firefighters also worked a significant amount of hours on apparatus, equipment, and station maintenance in 2008 for a total of 1,304 hours. • In 2008 our staff training hours was very high at 3,276 hours. Our fire department membership is better trained and more diversified than ever before. All of our members are 100% certified as Firefighter I and EMS First Responder. • Our fire department staff including all fire officers and firefighters is skilled as well with a total of 491 years of accumulated firefighting experience. Our firefighters, through hard work and dedication continue to put in many volunteer hours, with a conservative estimate of all work by firefighters in 2008 at 18,289 hours. Apparatus and Equipment In 2008, we made some minor changes in our apparatus fleet. Capital Expenditure spending on apparatus and equipment was relatively insignificant in 2008. Changes to our apparatus and equipment were as follows: We budgeted for and added a 2009 Polaris Ranger 6 x 6 to our fleet in 2008. It is special purpose Rescue Response Vehicle that cost $11,658. We returned one 1970 Gama Goat off -road grass rig (on loan from DNR) to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as it was no longer needed and was not cost effective. The use vs. the cost to operate was not justifiable. Our 1980 Sutphen 100' Aerial Ladder truck is now 29 years old and will need to be replaced sometime in the relatively near future. The ladder truck has had many operational and functional failures or problems prior to, and in 2008. The truck operational failures have often been a major safety concern. NOTE: The cost of replacement for a 100' ladder truck depends upon the path we choose (i.e. buy new truck, buy used truck, or refurbish existing truck). The cost of a new ladder truck that is similar in size and performance to ours would be approximately $925,000. In any case we need a ladder truck for fire response and suppression, high level rescue, in support if our fire protection contracts, and our ISO Public Protection Classification. In 2008 and early 2009, I made a difficult decision to spend $31,066.83 (refer to repair summary) to repair this truck and extend its life 2 -4 years. The truck is currently functioning well and operating safely, but the fire commission has asked me to make the ladder truck replacement a priority topic for our 2009 Fire Commission meetings. Important note: We continue to analyze our ever changing needs for fire apparatus and equipment. We believe our fire apparatus replacement program plan considers all of the practical and available options for prudent and cost effective apparatus replacement purchases in the future. The Fire Commission meeting discussions often deal with apparatus needs, replacement plan, and future purchases. Representatives from each contract city are given the opportunity to weigh in on the capital apparatus purchases. Facilities The Mound Public Safety Facility remains ideal for our daily administration, staff activities, apparatus housing, equipment storage, training, and emergency response operations. There are no significant facility issues at Mound Fire Department at this time. I am working on some other energy saving and efficiency projects for our fire station facility. There are no significant energy savings to report as these projects are ideas and concepts at this time that have dollar savings potential. More work to be done on this. I have frequently and persistently inquired with City Manger Kandis Hanson, Ehlers and Associates, and the Mound Finance Team about the possibility of refinancing the Public Safety Facility Debt (bonds) to lower our expenses. Everyone is receptive to the idea, if it and when it makes financial sense. Unfortunately, the call date on the bonds is not until 2011. This could be a savings in the future if we can achieve the same low interest rates similar to today. Time will tell, however refinancing cannot be justified at this time. An update on Minnetrista Fire Stations: at some point in time our friends and neighbors in Minnetrista will be pursuing fire stations in their growing community, but this project is currently on the back burner. The Minnetrista Fire Station project will be a Public Safety necessity for the city in the future, especially as the City of Minnetrista develops. The city officials in Minnetrista are very supportive of Mound Fire Department and will likely want us to be an active participant in the Minnetrista fire protection plan. We believe we have a great working relationship with all of our fire protection contract cities. In general, the Mound Fire Department expenses for 2008 were slightly under budget on the operations side. Please refer to the budget summary page in this report for the 2008 budget vs. spending and financial details. • The fire reserve fund balance at the beginning of 2008 was $102,332 with an estimated ending reserve balance of $149,332 at the end of 2008. The fire fund balance will increase by approximately $47,000. • The fire department apparatus repair occurrences and costs continue to rise as our fleet of apparatus gets older. In 2008 we spent a substantial amount of dollars on apparatus repair and maintenance with a total of $ 38,998 vs. a budget of $19,200. • In 2008, I submitted two Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) requests for a new fire apparatus ($173,601) and training ($19,130). Unfortunately these two requests were not approved or funded this year. I will apply for additional grant funds through the AFG process in 2009. • Significant progress was made in 2005 and 2006 on the Western Area Fire Training Academy (WAFTA) site investigation and cleanup. As President of the WAFTA Executive Board, I am seeking an additional $5 Million in Federal Aide to complete the site clean up and mitigation. The request for $5 million did not get approval in 2008, so I will continue to pursue grant funds in 2009. • The Mound Fire Department Relief Association Pension Fund took a major financial hit as the result of the financial turmoil and stack market decline in 2008. The MFD Relief Fund lost $1,020,628 in value throughout 2008 (refer to integrated performance review summary report). Fund value year end 12/31/07 - $4,451,266 vs. fund value year end 12/31/08 - $3,391,260. OUCH! • In January 2008 the Minnesota State Auditor asked the Mound Volunteer Fire Department to close all fire department bank accounts. For many years MFD was registered as an independent corporation and has had active payroll and checking accounts. MFD has cooperated with the Minnesota State Auditor and closed all non -city bank accounts at the end of 2008. Challenges for the Future Many of the following items remain on this list as challenges and are very important considerations for the future. This list of challenges will continue for the paid -on -call (volunteer) fire service. These challenges are not unique to the Mound Fire Department. Critically important items are to be addressed as part of the Mound Fire Department Strategic Plan. All of these topics have been clearly communicated and discussed with the MFD Fire Commission group who meets quarterly each year. • Managing budgets, cost controls, and overall financial management • Funding apparatus replacement adequately to support ISO PPC audit in 2008. • Recruiting and Retaining volunteer firefighters. • Studying and evaluating the existing MFD Pension Plan, funding and possibly updating the pension program plan. Future expansion of Mound Fire operations to support additional fire stations. Maintaining fire partnerships and fire contracts (i.e. the 5 cities we serve) Meeting all the requests for fire code and fire inspection services Strategic Plan and Initiatives In March 2004, I presented a Strategic Plan Initiative with a focus on four key areas including: Personnel, Budget and Financial Management, Equipment and Supplies, and Facilities. Many of the plan initiatives have been completed and /or are ongoing. Significant progress has been made on these initiatives, with more work to be done. Implementation of this strategic plan is essential to the successful fire operations of the Mound Fire Department in the future. A complete summary of the Strategic Plan and department accomplishments for the year 2008 is included in this report (refer to attachment). One major Mound Fire accomplishment for 2008 was the successful completion of a detailed and comprehensive Insurance Services Office (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) audit for all fire service cities. The ISO -PPC audit results were very positive as most of the cities received an improved PPC rating. The results of the audit have been published and became effective March 1, 2009 (refer to ISO detail). Summary The year 2008 was a very successful one for the fire department in many ways. We were able to extend our fire contracts with our neighboring city partners with a renewed Fire Service Protection Contract through 2012. Our staff of firefighters and office personnel, apparatus, and equipment has continued to be maintained as our key strong elements. We have an up -to -date fire station facility. In the future we anticipate improving and expanding our department operations further by partnering with Minnetrista as part of their fire service protection plan. A Minnetrista partnership will lead to more efficient use of our fire staff, apparatus, and equipment and likely be a financial benefit to all of the fire protection contract cities as well. We are currently not expanding staff or hiring, but are willing and able to expand our operations if need be. We thank our city officials, staff, fire commission members, and citizens for their continued cooperation and support of the Mound Fire Department. Respectfully submitted, Gregory S.

Z completes Insurance Services off ice , I Public r,' Classification of r, Department in May 2008! In May 2008, the Mound Fire Department completed an intense and detailed audit process that was performed by the staff of Insurance Service Office, Inc (ISO). Throughout March, April and May 2008, the expert Insurance Services Office staff audited the local fire protection resources by working with Mound Fire Department staff to collect information about the quality of public fire protection in the Mound Fire protection area. The MFD protection area includes the cities of Mound, Minnetrista, Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach, and Shorewood. The Insurance Services Office, Inc. is an independent company that many insurance companies rely on for providing important, up -to -date information about municipal fire protection services within communities like Mound. The ISO has established protection class ratings on more than 44,000 fire districts across the U.S. The result of the audit process will establish a Public Protection Classification (PPC) rating including a rating of. the Mound Fire Department, the overall fire protection, and the fire service quality in each community that MFD protects. This ISO Public Protection Classification rating is used by virtually all insurers of homes and business property in the U.S. The goal of, and purpose for this audit is to improve the Mound Fire Department PPC insurance rating in the Mound Fire Protection area. In general, the price of insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC. The final results of the audit will not be available for about six months. The Mound Fire department is confident that the results of the audit and the PPC rating will save our residents and businesses owners' money on their insurance premiums.
