Bellevue Fire Department BELLEVUE FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2016 BELLEVUE FIRE DEPARTMENT MISSION, VISION, VALUES, CORE VALUES Our Mission Assist the public in the protection of life and property by minimizing the impact of fire, medical emergencies, and potential disasters or uncontrolled events. Our Vision A protected, prepared and healthy community Our Values Bellevue Fire embraces the City of Bellevue’s Core Values and is committed to upholding and embodying them in our policies, culture and daily actions. City of Bellevue Core Values Exceptional Public Service, Stewardship, Commitment to Employees, Integrity, Innovation PAGE 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE FIRE CHIEF On behalf of the Bellevue Fire Department, I am very happy to present our Annual Report for 2016. I have often thought that the true test of any organization and the people within it is how they manage change. The last year has certainly provided that test for our organization on many fronts. Once again, we were faced with numerous retirements, promotions, new faces and the transfer of personnel between assignments. At that same time, we were also challenged with a significant increase in structure fires and an overall increase in our general workload in all areas; prevention inspections, Fire Chief Mark Risen administrative tasks, budgeting and levy development. All of these changes are the result of working in a city that is undergoing massive change before our very eyes. With a booming downtown, light rail implementation and the Spring District revitalization underway (to name just a few projects) there is substantial growth outside our windows at City Hall. The good news is that, once again, the extremely talented men and women of this organization met every challenge in the best possible manner. It was extremely gratifying to watch our staff tackle new challenges or promote into new positions and perform magnificently at all levels of the organization. It was also very rewarding to have our citizens show their support with the much needed Fire Facilities Levy. This levy will produce over $6 million dollars annually for construction and renovation of fire facilities for the next 20 years. This stable funding source, along with an increase in our general Capital Investment Program, will allow us to start land acquisition, design and construction of Fire Station 10 in the next few years. No amount of success is achieved in a vacuum and that is especially true for the Bellevue Fire Department. Without support from our City Council, the City Manager’s Office and other departments within the city, the achievement of our mission would simply be impossible. Our success and accomplishments are shared with them, and the supportive public that we serve. In closing, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for a successful 2016 to all members of the Bellevue Fire Department for their leadership and commitment at every level of the organization. Respectfully, Mark Risen, Fire Chief PAGE 3 BELLEVUE FIRE DEPARTMENT 2016 Department Statistics • Personnel – 235 (FTE/LTE’s) 199 (suppression/medical personnel) • Total incidents – 18,365 (81.4% medical, 18.6% suppression/fires) • Cardiac arrest save rate – 58% • Fires confirmed to room of origin – 80.16% • Emergency response time – 5:42 min/sec average (time from 911 call to first arriving fire apparatus on scene) • Patient transports – 8,330 (total with private ambulances) 5,928 (Bellevue Basic & Advanced Life Support Apparatus) • Maintenance inspections – 5,629 2016 Highlights • Successful passage of the Fire Facility Levy and associated public outreach • Selection of preferred site for Fire Station 10 and associated public outreach • 22.3% increase in structure fires and continuous outstanding service • Participated in King County opioid study and Bellevue Fire was the first agency to implement the use of Narcan • The Office of Emergency Management conducted three exercises spanning federal, state, county and local government.

The cities we protect continue to grow and develop, in particular the downtown Bellevue core. Our continuing charge moving forward will be to maintain and wherever possible improve service to an ever denser, taller, more populated service area, to effectively adapt to Deputy Chief, Bureau of such challenges as the East Link light rail project and to do Operations Mark Moulton so safely, nimbly and cost effectively. It’s a charge we’re eager to address. These dedicated men and women are tasked with maintaining optimum operational readiness in a wide variety of public safety disciplines to include: • Fire suppression • Emergency medical services (basic and advanced life support) • Technical rescue (structural collapse, confined space, trench, vehicle extrication, surface water, high angle, etc.) • Hazardous materials incident response • Fire prevention (company level inspections) • Fire education (station tours, school programs, etc.) • Station, apparatus and equipment maintenance • Miscellaneous support activities (commercial occupancy pre-fire planning, map updates, hydrant location and condition verification, etc.) PAGE 7 BELLEVUE FIRE DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES DIVISION 2016 was another successful year for the EMS Division. In the following paragraphs I will discuss some of the changes that occurred in our part of the organization and some of the change we effected. Call Volume and Transport Revenue The Department responded to a total of 18,365 alarms in 2016, 14,950 of which were EMS related calls, representing 81.4% of the total volume. 36.9% of these EMS incidents were ALS level responses and 18.5% were BSA (where we provide both ALS Battalion Commander, EMS and BLS) responses. The following is the breakdown: Division Andy Adolfson (not pictured) Captain Victor Bourque, Lieutenant Dan Trippel Bellevue & Contract Cities ALS Incidents 2,818 BLS Incidents 9,036 Total (BSA) 11,854 King County BLS Incidents 400 ALS Incidents 2,696 Total (King County) 3,096 Total EMS Incidents 14,950 Bellevue Fire transport units performed 5,928 transports to area hospitals in the past year, of which 61.7% were BLS transports. BLS transports created $1,187,342.63 in revenue with an estimate of another $130,000.00 that will likely be added to the 2016 total (completion of billing often occurs several months after the billing occurs due to processing time by the insurance companies). This could bring our total to around $1,300,000.00. Our CARES team made 399 visits to those needing additional assistance and had a very positive outcome rate. We are still consolidating these numbers but the initial reports are good. New personnel In 2016 EMS Training Lieutenant, Mark Weldon (May), and the Administrative Captain, Blaine Singleton (June), finished their esteemed careers by retiring. They were both big contributors to our EMS program as well as extremely hard workers. To fill these voids we have brought in Lieutenant. Dan Trippel and Captain Vic Bourque. Both are PAGE 8 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES DIVISION seasoned members of the organization and well in tune with what works, and what does not work, in the field. Dan and Vic have done a fantastic job getting up to speed and have really made the transition nearly effortless. New paramedics and new paramedic students Three Bellevue Firefighters completed the University of Washington Paramedic Training Program at the end of July.

Assistant Editor William Lie, Data analyst RMS reports Kieron Gillmore, Data Analyst Structural risk assessment Midge Tarvid, Sr. GIS analyst Structural risk assessment Page 2 BELLEVUE FIRE DEPARTMENT STANDARDS OF RESPONSE COVERAGE Introduction The following report serves as the Bellevue Fire Department Standard of Coverage. Its purpose is to assist the Department in ensuring a safe and effective response force for fire suppression, emergency medical services and specialty response situations. The Department’s accrediting body, The Commission of Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) defines the Standard of Coverage as, “a rational and systematic way of looking at the basic service provided by an emergency services agency.” In creating this report, the department analyzed many factors including: community profiles, community risks, fire-scene tasks, and both the type and quantity of emergency calls. This analysis drives the department to create performance standards which are also rooted in community expectations. Performance reports will demonstrate that the department is meeting its established standards, and performance outcomes will provide additional support. Ultimately, the analysis of all these factors leads to the justification for the placement and staffing of fire department resources as well as detailed response plans to handle the risks these resources are expected to face.

  • City of Sammamish 2015-2016 Budget
    City of S ammamish 2015-2016 Budget - in - Brief Investing in our Community Sammamish Community and Aquatics Center 2015 - 2016 Budget Message Since self-governance began in 1999, your elected representatives on the City Council have consistently made prudent financial choices on behalf of the entire community. That’s why the city of Sammamish, despite having to rebound from the Great Recession like other cities, boasts the lowest General Fund expenditures per capita of cities on the Eastside, is free of bonded debt, and has not raised property taxes for six years. This solid financial footing has been achieved even though the city has made impressive investments in new roads, parks, ball fields and other vital infrastructure over the past decade. As other cities struggle with their budgets, how has Sammamish managed to transform itself while remaining fiscally sound? The answer is simple: Sammamish City Councils have lived within their means. This simple approach, complemented by high performing city staff that continues to deliver an array of excellent government services both efficiently and cost effectively has proven to be a great formula for success. As this “Budget in Brief” makes clear, the City will continue this mode of operation in the 2015-2016 biennium. While the Great Recession forced us to make tough decisions and to focus on cost cutting measures, we are now experiencing a strong recovery in the local economy and the demand for our services continues to grow. Even so, we will continue to closely monitor our expenditures and continue to explore ways to maximize our resources.

The opportunity for this area to become part of the City’s PAA occurred as Klahanie residents declined to annex to the City of Issaquah in a recent vote. Subsequent cooperation between the Cities of Sammamish and Issaquah, and King County resulted in amendments to the City of Issaquah Comprehensive Plan to release the area and King County revision of the Countywide Planning Policies. The City of Sammamish has also completed a comprehensive plan amendment adding the area as a PAA and designating potential land use and zoning. This annexation is proposed by a resolution initiating the annexation and calling for an election to be held, in accordance with the process set forth at RCW 35A.14.015 et seq. Included with this submittal is the $50.00 filing fee. Please note, the City is not invoking the jurisdiction of the BRB, as an April 2015 election date is contemplated. Thank you for your assistance and preliminary review of the City’s materials.
