1 .. December 4, 1984 FRESCOPE OPERATONS COORDNATON CENTER P.O. BOX RVERSDE. CALFORNA DRAfT Ronald Bogardus, P. E. Cha i rman State Board of Fire Services 7171 Bowling Drive, Suite 600 Sacramento, CA Dear ~r. Bogardus: At its meeting on October 29-30, 1984, the FRESCOPE Operations Team devoted lengthy discussion to the confusing and frustrating issue of CS training in relation to a statewide delivery system. t was unanimously agreed there is an obvious misunderstanding regarning the roles of the State Fire Marshal's Office and the FRESCOPE Program. Currently the problem centers on CS training and its place in the "Certified" training programs of the State Fire Marshal's Office. To be specific, efforts have been underway for many months to identify and provide gualified instructors within the FRESCOPE partner agencies to teach initial instructor classes for use in the statewide delivery system. n the process, we have discussed the issue with Fire Marshal Representatives who originally indicated that our (FRESCOPE) instructors had to be "Certified" under SBFS standards to present "Certified" CS Courses. We were later informed that es was not part of any "Certified" training package, thus, instructor "Certification" may not be necessary! prepare and submit a letter to the State clarification. (Submitted ) Mr. 1984, failed to clarify the issu~e~'-tl~31~~~~~ 4, ed "'W..~~ The Operations Team concluded it was time to put the CS Training issue into oro per perspective, particularly with regard to the past, current and futur~ role of FRESCOPE Partner Agencies. To that end, the Operations Team requested Dick Barrows, OES; Jim McFadden, CDF; and Dick Montague, USFS to meet with the State Fire Marshal as soon as possible. The following position was established: FRESCOPE responsibility, concerns and committment o FRESCOPE was and is responsible for deve100ment of the es and all related training docllments.

2 o FRESCOPE Partner Agencies will test, evaluate and implement training of CS within their respective agencies and departments. o FRESCOPE will deliver completed CS training documents to the State (SBFS) and federal levels (NWCG/USFS) for implementation. o FRESCOPE Partners will provide initial instructors (where needed) to "train-the-trainer". Unfortunately a meeting with the Fire Marshal did not materialize. Mr. Bogardus related through Dick Wharton that he didn't think such a meetinq would be productive. FRESCOPE Concerns From the inception of the CS Program there was strong concerns that CS be implemented through a standardized, coordinated delivery system, and that all training materials be maintained in the purest context. To that end, FRESCOPE has worked continually with the SBFS to establish such an "approved" system. FRESCOPE Partner Agencies are not concerned with the semantics applied to such training, i.e. "Certified".. "Certificated", as much as they are with the actual control and coordination of the system. However, we did agree that the word "Approved", if applied uniformly, would satisfy our concerns. The following questions were presented: 1. What needs to be done to have approved CS instructors? 2. s it SBFS intent to have CS included in fire officer and chief officer "Certified" course? 3. What needs to be done to have a statewide CS training coordinator? 4. s there a need to certifv FRESCOPE instructors? Are there any fees associated? The FRESCOPE Partners primary interest is to help establish and implement the standard training as described. t is not our intent to dictate how a delivery system works, or to interfere with~r duplicate efforts of the Fire Marshal's Office. We do feel this matter demands a coooerative effort by all parties and are disappointed that the State Fire Marshal did not see a need to meet with Operations Team Members as requested. -2-

3 ,. ~ We will be happy to provide an Operations Team ~eoresentative to discuss this matter with the State Board of Fire Services; and thus, respectfully request it be included as an agenda item at the next SBFS meeting. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, MCHAEL P. SCHERR, Chairman FRESCOPE Operations Team -3-

6 STATE Of CALfORNA GEORGE OEUKMEJAN. Gove,nor _ OFFCE OF EMERGENCY SERVCES MEADOWVEW ROAD MENTO, CALFORNA November 13, 1984 ~, -~ - A meeting of the OES Fire & Rescue Service Advisory Committee has been set for December 6, 1984, hours at OES Headquarters, 2800 Meadowview Road, Sacramento, California. As stated in our letter of October 19, we propose to expand the Committee role to provide oversight to the continued expansion of FRESCOPE technologies statewide and to other issues which demand involvement of the fire services, such as Earthquake Preparedness. The Committee's involvement in these programs coupled with continued oversight of the Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid Program will most assurably provide OES and the statewide fire services with increased continuity of effort. To that end, it is essential that we establish, clear and attainable goals and objectives which can be supported by Committee members. To accomplish this, requires that we dedicate a full day of concentrated effo~t at this meeting. Agenda will focus on the following: 1. Review of Committee history and accomplishments. 2. Review and discussion on "expanded role" of Committee. 3. Review and update on FRESCOPE Program. 4. Review of Earthquake Preparedness Program - State Task Force. 5. Fire & Rescue Mutual Aid Program - General. "'~ Travel and per diem expense will be reimbursed by OES for Committee members including one night's lodging. Also, we will provide transportation to and from the Sacramento Airport for thqse who may need it upon request. For your convenience we have included a list of motels and their rates. Should you desire accommodations, we will be happy to arrange them at the hotel or motel of your choice. Considering the full day's agenda, possible winter weather, etc., those flying to Sacramento may want to consider arrival the night before.

CALFORNA November 9, 1984 TO: FRESCOPE OPERATONS TEAM MEMBERS SUBJECT: CS TRANNG - STATE FRE MARSHAL Per direction received at the October 30 meeting in Orange County, attempted to arrange a meeting between myself, Dick Montague, USFS; Jim McFadden, CDF; and Ron Bogardus, State Fire Marshal. Following several unsuccessful attempts by Mr. Bogardus' secretary to confirm a date and time for the meeting, was referred to Dick Wharton who advised that Mr. Bogardus did not feel such a meeting was necessary and that it would not be productive at this time. Wharton further stated that Mr. Bogardus was working on some effort relative to CS Training that we could discuss after the first of the year. The exact nature of of that messag~ was not clear to me. Dick Wharton did advise we could meet with himself and/or Bill Vandervort. declined on the basis of our discussion and your instructions to me at the meeting. Having pursued this mission on your behalf with little success, see no point in my pursuing the matter further. do recommend that a formal letter be submitted from the Operations Team to the State Board of Fire Services stating our position relative to the CS Training issue. Further, that one Operations Team member, preferrably local government, be designated co represent our position at the next meeting of the State Board of Fire Services. n the interim, suggest it would be counter productive for any of us to take further independent action.

Smith, OES (Guest). Opened Meeting and reviewed Minutes from last meeting. M. Scherr made some opening comments and handed out copies of the following material: - California O.E.S. Fire and Rescue Service Advisory Committee Roster - FRESCOPE Budget (Proposed FY 84-85) - Copy of Broadcast concerning Accountable Property Officer - Letter to R. G. Barrows from State Fire Marshal's Office - Letter from D. Castleman (Operations Team Chairman) Request Form (Task Force Chairman) to concerning ncident Weather M. Scherr Forecast - Letter to Chief Perry (SBC) from Chief McElwee (SEC) concerning FRESCOPE Map Book. R. Griggs made the introductin of the CDF personnel present. M. Scherr introduced Terry Haney (TEMJAM), representative for the RECOPE Program. A correction was made to the minutes from the last Operations Team Meeting. On page 3, the name "M. Scherr" was changed to read "M. Sellers". A motion were made to have the minutes approved, provided the correction was penciled in. There was a second and all members present voted in favor of the motion. D. Montague mentioned that it is quite apparent the RECOPE Program is not going to threaten FRESCOPE Operations in any manner. R. Griggs mentioned it would be a wise decision to keep abreast of RECOPE's progress in order to determine whether this concept can be useful to the FRESCOPE Program.

25 M. Scherr suggested the Operations Team stay on top of RECOPE and development through its association with Terry Haney. Also, information about the program be kept at a high level of visibility, to if any part of the program would be beneficial to FRESCOPE. its that see. RECOPE Program Presentation Terry Haney shed some light on the concept for the RECOPE Program. Terry said 4 months ago a plan was initiated to create an 80 acre site at the Rialto Airport for an Emergency Management Site and Training Facility by the County of San Bernardino. Terry handed out a Concept Summary Report for RECOPE. He also displayed a blue print of the proposed site and then went on to describe what the space utilization of the 80 acre site will be. R. Griggs mentioned to Terry Haney there was ng that~ indicated CDF was buying into the program. He made it perfe y clear to Terry that as far as he knew no such commitment has been mad and that CDF's participation would be clearly through its affiliation wi San Bernardino County. R. Griggs asked Terry to share any information he had concerning OES's involvement with RECOPE. Terry informed the group that the Director of OES has expressed a desire occupy some space at the site for OES's Region 6 Headquarters. R. Griggs also brought up the fact, that indication of participation or interest by the not seem Government. to be any Terry responded by saying certain Federal agencies have been approached or have inquired about the concept, but have shown no interest in it to date. R. Barrows asked Terry what the estimated cost would be for the main building. to~. Terry Haney told the group it was estimated about 3 million dollars for a Seismic, 3 Level (one level above ground and two underground) non-nuclear protected building and 7.6 million dollars for a Seismic 3 level underground nuclear protected building. Terry also mentioned the preference is with the latter. The proposed completion of the RECOPE Master Plan is scheduled for November. Terry also mentioned that the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department currently has a bid out for a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System. M. Sellers asked Terry if RECOPE has created a group that could try and attain some kind of funding assistance. Terry responded by saying FEMA was approached and there was some lobbying being done on RECOPE's behalf. Old Business A. Copy Machine: M. Scherr informed the Operations Team that OES has leased a Minolta Copier that meets or exceeds the specifications set by the Board, but the lease will only last through the month of December at which time OES would have to purchase a machine, because State 2

26 B. C. D. Regulations prohibit leasing a machine for a period longer than 90 days. The approximate cost of the machine is about $10,000 which M. Scherr has been able to extract from the current FRESCGPE Budget. But purchasing the machine would sharply cut into the Maintenance Budget for copying. R. Barrows approached CDF and USFS about possibly funding the maintenance at an estimated cost of $900 a month. Red Flag Alert Program: M. Scherr infonned the group the MACS Red Flag Alert Notification Guide has been approved by the Operations Team and is to be utilized. He also stated distribution of the Red Flag Alert Notification Guides to the operational areas was under way. GCC Conference Room: M. Scherr infonned the group the cabinets installed in the GCC Conference Room were currently being stained and when the staining is completed the final preparations for the room would be made. FRESCOPE Cooperative Agreement: R. Barrows briefly covered what was in the actual Agreement Package. D. Montague asked R. Barrows a question about the increase in the USFS share. R. Barrows explained the increase to D. Montague. E. Tenninal Agreeements: R. Griggs asked M. Scherr to have all CDF Units Tenninal Agreements sent to his office at Region V Headquarters. R. Barrows felt M. Scherr should also have an agreement signed for every piece of equipment turned over by the USFS. F. Lesson Plans: M. right along and Scherr infonned the group the Lesson Plans are moving those that were submitted are currently being reviewed for approval. J. McFadden mentioned to the group that those submitted to his officer are being processed and preparations are under way for attaining and training qualified instructors. J. McFadden also mentioned the lastest Lesson Plan, Strike Team Leader ~ D~ Engines, is almost finished and would be submitted for final review. ~ U D. Castleman ffi'id ".-llafaadill'l said they had circumvented the current system, so they could present their latest Lesson Plan at this meeting;r for review. R. Griggs expressed some concern r what they had done and strongly suggested that this type of lty be avoided and approved procedures and guidelines be utilize J. McFadden distributed a copy of the lastest CS Contract Lesson Plan Development, which showed the progress of all Lesson Plans submitted G. SFM, CS Lesson Plans and nstructor Certification: D. Montague suggested a face to face meeting with the State Fire Marshal representative in order to clarify certain matters that have been addressed and no response has been returned by that office. 3

27 R. Barrows reminded the group the current system for Lesson Plan review and approval was designed and implemented solely for FRESCOPE and it should remain within the systems structure. f statewide implementation is desired later on, let those agencies interested pursue the matter with FRESCOPE Program. For the present, return all control for Lesson Plan approval back within the FRESCOPE System. R. Barrows also suggested this matter of Lesson Plan approval or certification be brought up at the next State Advisory Committee Meeting, to get their input on this matter. After a lengthy discussion on this matter, it was agreed that the following question would be presented to the State Fire Marshal: - What needs to be done to have Approved Courses? H. - What needs to be done to have Approved nstructors? - What needs to be done to have a Fire Officer and Chief Officer Certified courses using Approved CS courses as a standard? - What needs to be done to have a statewide.c.s. Coordinator? J. Radley made a motion that D. Montague, R. Barrows, and J. McFadden set up a face to face meeting with the Fire Mashal in order to get answers to the above questions and clarification on other Lesson Plan matters. D. Perry seconded the motion, and all members present voted in favor of the motion. Mapping Program-SMAC/Coordinator: R. Barrows said the Mapping Coordinator matter is being pursued and a lot of interest is being generated. R. Barrows informed the group that Caltrans, Department of Conservation, Department of Forestry and the Department of Water Resources are very interested in supporting both the Map Products and the Mapping Coordinator position. ~ R. Barrows informed the group the Cali a Highway Patrol was willing to contribute money for the M rogram, but no PY. R. Barrows said it would take approximately $65,000 to get the Mapping Coordinator position implemented. t will be a $3,000 contribution per agency. R. Barrows reminded the group both the Board of Directors and this group (Operations Team) had agreed they would provide funding if OES got the program started. R. Barrows informed the group USGS and OES agreed that the State would have full control of the Mapping Coordinator (Resident Cartographer). R. Barrows asked the group to show support for this program by lobbying to whatever level or body is necessary. 4

28 1. J. RETRACK Program- San Bernardino Area Coordinator R. Manzo informed the group on the progress and functionality of the proposed Strike Team Tracking Program. t was mentioned that the program description has been completed and the program development has begun. (" {}~...9 R asked how this program would be le.intained and showed some\...('~ T'2J concern as to its usefulness. t was explained to the group this program would be exclusively tested and used by San Bernardino County as a possible prototype for future FRESCOPE implementation. FRESCOPE-Augmentation Budget Request R. Barrows informed the group about the current Budget Change Proposal, the progress of getting a technological study done and the Radio Cache. R. Barrows said there were currently 5 items for which the Office of Emergency Services is trying to get support and funding. They are as follows: 1. State Sponsorship of FRESCOPE- as estimated million dollars a year for a 5 year period. 2. Full-time Mapping Coordinator position. 3. Mapping Products for Regions and V (approximately $158,000 for 386 quads in Southern California) 4. A Computer Programmer position for OES Sacramento. 5. Continuing budget of the OCC. R. Barrows also informed the group these items were to be totally State sponsored and hoped all Local and Federal agencies will benefit from these programs would share some of the expense. R. Barrows and M. Scherr explained to the group the concept of the Document Control Revolving Fund. R. Barrows informed the group about the Hazardous Material Form and Data Base created on the Prime Computer for the OES Hazardous Material Section. He went on to explain its relationship with the Hazmat Specialty Group of FRESCOPE and its potential informational benefits at our disposal. R. Barrows also mentioned the State asked OES about possibly using a satellite link for the two computer systems on an experimental basis and OES said yes. K. CALFRMS-FRESCOPE Extension North R. Barrows informed the group various key people on the Fire and Rescue Service Advisory Committee will provide vital FRESCOPE representation in CALFRMS (FRESCOPE North). 5

29 L. V. Silent 700's: The copy of the letter informing the FRESCOPE Coordination Points how the Silent 700 Portable Terminals can be obtained and where they will be located, also explaining the procedure was handed out. R. Griggs suggested this letter be submitted to the Task Force in order to have guidelines set up for requisition of these terminals according to current procedures used. This matter was then discussed by the group and a motion was made that the letter be re-done, including a procedure for maintaining and ordering. This letter is to be returned to R. Praytor (SSM). D. Montague second the motion, and all members present approved the motion. Task Force Report D. Castleman informed the group about the criteria for admission into FRESCOPE. Membership Criteria was presented. Task Force's establishing of The report FRESCOPE Program D. Perry then question was, major wildand asked a question about item 5, page 2 of this report.
