Title
Adoption of Gainesville Fire Rescue Standards of Cover and Strategic Plan (B)
This item requests the City Commission adopt the 2014 Gainesville Fire Rescue Standards of Cover and Strategic Plan.
Explanation
Gainesville Fire Rescue (GFR) became an accredited agency on March 11, 2014. The Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) requires accredited fire rescue agencies to periodically submit their standards of cover (SOC) and strategic plans for adoption by their governing bodies. The Commission first adopted the GFR Strategic Plan and SOC on October 4, 2012.
In 2014, GFR updated its 2012 Strategic Plan and prepared its second edition of the SOC. These two documents work together to establish service level objectives and future planning to meet the fire, medical, rescue, and special hazard risk needs of the community and serve as the business plan for the City of Gainesville to deliver fire rescue services to the community.
Fiscal Note
There is no fiscal impact from adoption of these documents.
Recommendation
The City Commission adopt the 2014 Gainesville Fire Rescue Standards of Cover and Strategic Plan.
