<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR <br /> <br /> COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br /> FEBRUARY 21, 2012 <br /> TITLE: APPROVED <br /> OUTSOURCING FIRE AND EMERGENCY ? As Recommended <br /> MEDICAL SERVICES ? As Amended <br /> ? Ordinance on 15f Reading <br /> ? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br /> ? Implementing Resolution <br /> ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with the Orange <br /> County Fire Authority for the purposes of outsourcing fire and emergency medical services effective <br /> April 20, 2012 for an eight-year term with renewal options, subject to non-substantive changes <br /> approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br /> <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) is one of the largest regional fire service providers in <br /> California. The Authority responds to over 87,000 emergency incidents throughout its fire protection <br /> area. The OCFA currently serves 1.4 million residents in an area of 550 square miles. The service <br /> area consists of 23 jurisdictions including the unincorporated county and 22 member cities with real <br /> property having an assessed valuation in excess of $213 billion dollars. OCFA is one of 12 fire <br /> agencies that are accredited by the Commission of Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) in <br /> California. This accreditation establishes high performance standards that its members must comply <br /> with, thereby ensuring the highest level of fire protection. <br /> <br /> The principle benefits of a regional system are reduced costs, increased effectiveness, and a larger <br /> depth of resources such as hazmat, swift water, urban search and rescue, and rotor and fixed wing <br /> aircraft. This agreement represents the following scope of services: all emergency fire, and <br /> emergency medical services, Fire Investigation, Training, Hazardous Materials response, Urban <br /> Search and Rescue response, Fire Prevention, Communications and Dispatch services, Information <br /> Technology services, facility and apparatus maintenance and administrative support by OFCA. <br /> <br /> The level of service provided to the City will be the same as the general level of similar services <br /> provided by OCFA elsewhere within its boundaries. Service criteria specific to Santa Ana are set forth <br /> in the proposed agreement. Any changes to such levels and method of service shall be agreed upon <br /> by the Board of Directors of the OCFA and the City. <br /> <br /> 60C-1 <br />
