4 MONTECITO JOURNAL • The Voice of the Village • 18 – 25 October 2012 Editorial by Bob Hazard Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club Why We Need to Vote Yes on Measure F n less than three weeks, voters will decide whether the Board of the Montecito Fire Protection District (MFPD) should be expanded from three to five members. If Montecito votes in the affirmative, the four top vote getters forI the position will take a seat on the board. Our choices for the four seats available (current member John Venable is not up for reelection this cycle) are Susan Keller, John “Abe” Powell, Gene Sinser and Martha Collins. They have the strongest financial and entrepreneurial skills to provide community leadership, independence and transparency to the Fire District’s governing process. They will ask the toughest questions about fire regulations, equipment replacement, the need for Station #3, reciprocal agreements, community preparedness, evacuation plans, compensation, ben- efits, pensions and other urgent issues confronting the District. Why Increase the Fire Board Size from 3 to 5 Members? A five-member Board will allow the Board to act and avoid delay during an emergency if one member is absent or ill. It allows for community oversight and independence. It allows for working subcommittees to tackle financial and community issues. An expanded Board will also provide greater openness and transparency. Why New MFPD Leadership? The Board’s role is to deliver the best protection possible to a community susceptible to dangerous wind-driven wildfires. We want a fire department that continues to provide outstanding fire prevention programs, superior medical emergency services and world-class response times. But Board members also have a fiduciary responsibility to see that taxpayer money is being spent wisely and that District operations are sustainable and remain in the black. For almost 40 years, Roy Jensen, 87, a former firefighter, has dominated the decisions of the three-man Board of the Fire District. Director Jensen is a good and honorable man, but he will be 91 by the end of his 10th term, if re-elected. We are grateful for Director Jensen’s dedicated public service, but MFPD is now faced with tough long-range questions and needs a fresh approach to those problems. Is MFPD’s Pay Competitive? “Bewitching” Montecito’s current Fire Chief earns a base pay of $242,000 annually, roughly comparable to the Fire Chief of Los Angeles and about $100,000 more than most California Fire Chiefs. The Montecito Fire Chief dealt with 22 fires last year, less than two per month, counting all structure fires, car fires, vegetation fires and dumpster fires, and also serviced another 546 paramedic emergencies and 475 service calls and false alarms. The Los Angeles Fire Department, by contrast, responded to 826,924 calls last year, including 8,099 structure fires and 661,765 responses for emer- gency medical services. To put the current Montecito Chief’s base salary in context, the Mayor of Los Angeles earns less ($232,425 annually) to manage a city of 4.1 million people with 56,200 city employees and a budget of $7.2 billion. Also making less are the Vice President of the United States ($230,700); the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ($228,500); every U.S. Senator ($174,000); the Governor of California ($173,987); and Santa Barbara County Supervisors ($84,200). Since 88% of MFPD’s budget is now spent on public pay and benefits, includ- ing pension payments, the Board has a vital oversight role in matching fairness with fiscal prudence. Troubling Pension Commitments Montecito firefighters may retire at 55 years of age and receive an annual defined benefit lifetime pension of 3% of their final year’s compensation mul- tiplied by each year of service. With 30 years of service, this means they receive 3% x 30 years, or up to 90% of their final year’s compensation during each year of their retirement. Retirees also receive annual cost-of-living increases and free lifetime medical benefits. When the former Fire Chief retired this year at the age of 54, his starting pension totaled a quarter of a million dollars a year, along with health care for life. Montecito is a wealthy community and most homeowners may be pleased to read how well its firefighters are paid. But, at some point such Lana Marmé generous unfunded benefits will become problematic and/or unsustainable.

We don’t just work in this community, we live here, too. That’s why we’re committed to keeping local traditions alive, and as we’ll soon be uniting with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, it’s even more important that we do our part. We’ve celebrated at Old Spanish Days Fiesta in Santa Barbara, helped bring back the Monterey 4th of July Parade, and gotten in touch with our wild side at the Santa Barbara Zoo’s Zoofari Ball. While traditions like these are lots of fun, they also do a lot of good for local businesses and nonprofits—as well as boost local spirit. Of course, there are other ways a bank can support its communities. So Union Bank also commits millions of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours to local philanthropic causes that support education, economic development, the environment, the arts, human services, and more. It’s the right thing to do—after all, it’s our home.

A kiosk located on the property to welcome visitors and take payments was broken into; the door to the kiosk was kicked in. It appears the burglar attempted and failed to gain access to a locked cash register, but the suspect was able Globe Theatre to steal 10 two-way radios and one multi channel radio. It appears the suspect gained access to the property by jumping over a fence. Dominic Dromgoole and Bill Buckhurst, Directors Upon speaking with the facilities manager and the garden’s executive direc- tor, another issue on the property was raised. Six months ago, the garden’s staff filed a police report regarding crossbow arrows that had been found on the property. The arrows were stuck in the ground and in trees; it was assumed the Hamlet arrows were fired onto the property during the night when no one was on the property. Earlier this month, two more arrows were fired onto the property, this time during the day; a maintenance worker observed one of the arrows land in his vicinity. The executive director told the deputy she was concerned for the safety of her employees, due to the fact that the crossbows have each penetrated significantly into trees and into the ground where they land. The deputy con- ducted a search of the area, and spoke with all neighbors regarding the issue. A report was filed. Burglary on East Mountain Drive Monday, 15 October 9:29 am – Deputy Dickey was dispatched to East Mountain Drive on report of a burglary. The owner of the property reported that his hired workers had notified him that someone had cut the padlock on the access gate to the property, and subsequently cut off two locks on two storage containers. Several tools were stolen, including a generator, chainsaws, and weedwackers. A report was taken.
