2. Manpower Needed: Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, two Assistant Chiefs, three Captains and

3. 6eneral.Tasks Involved: Protection of life is given the first consideration in any
er�rgency. Size up starts at the tirrre of the alarm. Knowledge of the type of
siructure involved, weather condition, time of day, contents of building and the
number of people that might be involved, also exposures. Preplanning plays the a
iarge part in how the emergency will be handled. Prior knowtedge of building
involved, built-in fire protection such as sprinklers and standpipes; size of the
water mains, location of hydrants. Many evolutions are carr?ad out simultaneously:
checking to make certain no one is burned injured, trapped, or in the path of the
fire; laying hose lines, ventilating and attacking tha fire. If the fire is beyond
the capailities of the department, or all of our fire fighting force will be tied up
for a long period of time callin9 for mutual aid. Salvage and overhaul follow
attacking the fire. Investigation as to the cause usually begins before the fire is
extinguished. On the scene investigation is conducted by the Deputy Fire Chief; in
his absence, the highest ranking officer at the scene does so. On larqe loss or
suspicious fires the Chief Officer calls in the local police, the Anoka County Crime
Bureau and the State Fire Marshal's office. In the case of small fires salvage may
consist of vacuuming up the water of the floor and using a deodorant to kill the
smoke odor. On large fires it is usually necessary to cover openings in the roof,
broken windows or doors with plastic. After the fire it is necessary to drain the
hoses (wash them if dirty) and place them back on the truck. Cleaning of all
equ.ipment used and filling air mask tanks is done at the station after the fire. .

factor is that buildings and appliances grow older and so does the poiential for fire.

1981 Work Load Changes:
State and Federal requirements, increased susceptibly to Civil suits, increased
Public demands both in volume and desires for more individual attention, increased
group and individual attention desires of employees, have all Deen reflected in
1980. 7here is every reason to believe this will continue in 1981 requiring
continuous analysis and initiation of required chances to maintain organizational
efficiency.

residential and industrial, and the economy is stabilized. ' . .

pny reduction in the present staff will result in ineffective control and fragmented

1981 Nork �oad Changes:
The most time Consuming Report to process is the. "Driving under the Inftuence"
case. In this area alone. the number of DUI's have al•��ost tripled in the first 3
months of 1900 over the first tiiree months of 1979. There is every reason to believe
that the aork load of this program will continue to increase based on past history.
It is recommended that an additional office assistant be added to this prooram. The
technician assistant can tfien be assigned to Field ODerations and serve as a 6ackup
to Informational services.
Alternatives:
1. Continue the pro9ram at the same level, despite increase demands.
2. Continue the program at the same level with sugqested chanqe.

hours a day, stop the monitoring of the trouble alarms fer lift stations, alerting �
anA dispatching public works personnel during emergency conditions (severe weather,

Maintain the same level. In evaluating the present strength of tfie Police Department
and in consideration of the demand for service by the public in 1979, this course is
not recommended and could have a direct effect on public safety.
To reduce the patrol strength would detract from the services provided and directly
affect the crime rate and traffic enforcement as well as establish conditions for a
higher etement of risk to the welfare of the public. It also would result in an
increase in citizen complaints.
To :liminate the Police Department, contract with the Sheriff's Office or another
agency to patrol the City. 7he anticipated contractual estimated cost for

This unit was required to process a 5.5X increase in juveniles referred to juvenile
tourt from 1978 to 1979. With the advent of a newly created DUI statute and a nearly
tripling of DUI arrest the first 3 months of 1980 over the first 3 months of 1979,
this unit has been hard pressed ta comply with the Supreme Court 36 hr. rule. Many
z�iminal cases now go without the completion of investigation that the public should
�emand. In addition, civil mandated investigations of applicants such as weapons
applications is greatly increasing.
