A mutual aid response is when an emergency service requests assistance from another. The spirit of a mutual aid agreement is to lend assistance to neighboring communities in time of need. This could be in the form of more personnel, equipment or to provide a specialized service. Currently, the only mutual aid that Waterloo Fire Rescue charges is for paramedic response. The charge for a paramedic response is $75.00. The $75.00 charge was set in 1997 to offset some of the expenses incurred by Waterloo Fire Rescue while providing these services, including supplies, medications, personnel. Since 1997, the cost of all these items has increased and a charge of$150.00 is necessary to continue to provide the mutual aid service. The $150.00 fee is to cover expenses and is comparable to what a Waterloo resident would pay for an Advanced Life Support call over a Basic Life Support call. Moved by Clark, seconded by Berry that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The Police Department has been given authorization to seek bids to replace Officer Harrington's police canine, which will be retired upon the purchase and training of a new canine. Officer Harrington has requested that he be allowed to keep his police canine as his personal dog after the dog's retirement. Officer Harrington would be the sole owner, provider and be responsible for the dog's care. Moved by Clark, seconded by Berry that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to seek bids for seven police patrol rifles was reviewed. Trends in law enforcement have changed dramatically over the years. The Police Department recently completed training department-wide on how to safely handle violent situations. It is not unusual for the first responding officer to be out gunned in these types of situations. The patrol rifles will enhance and provide the first responding officers another tool to meet violent, armed criminals who possess weapons larger and more powerful than the side arms the police officers are currently issued. The patrol rifles will not be used for general patrol or crowd control. The patrol rifles will be purchased using forfeiture funds. Moved by Getty, seconded by Clark that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to begin the Civil Service process for Battalion Chief and Fire Lieutenant was reviewed.

The request of the Police Chief for authorization to seek bids for a police canine was reviewed. Officer Jeffery Harrington's canine has been in service with the Police Department for more than ten years. The canine has reached its maximum years of productivity as a police canine, and the dog is beginning to shows signs of age and fatigue. The canine will be retired in the near future and will need to be replaced. The Police Department presently has three canines, and with the retirement of one dog, the Police Chief is requesting authorization to seek bids from appropriate suppliers to replace the retiring canine. The estimated cost to replace the police canine is between $4,000.00 and $5,000.00. Moved by Berry, seconded by Clark that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to purchase a Sam's Club Membership for the Police Department at a cost of$30.00 per year was reviewed. The Police Department has found they can purchase many supplies from Sam's Club at a much lower rate than from present suppliers. The Police Department uses many VCR tapes because of their in-car audio/video recording equipment and the Black Hawk County courtroom presentation system. The Police Department recently ordered 60 VCR tapes from their present supplier at a cost of$120.00, and the same 60 tapes can be purchased from Sam's Club for $50.00. In order to take advantage of the savings, the Police Department must purchase a membership, and Sam's Club will invoice the Police Department for the cost of the purchases. The Police Department anticipates purchasing items such as VCR tapes, batteries and cassette tapes. Moved by Clark, seconded by Berry that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Berry that the meeting be adjourned at 4:40 p.m. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

It is necessary to replace the present transmitter in order to enhance officer safety through better transmissions and better evidence collection for prosecution of narcotic drug law violations. Funds are available for the purchase of the transmitter through the Tri-County Drug Task Force budget. Moved by Getty, seconded by Berry that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The request of the Police Chief for authorization to sell 91 old bulletproof vests for $523.25 was reviewed. The Police Department has been replacing bulletproof vests through a grant with the Department of Justice, which is a 50 percent reimbursement grant. The department presently has 91 vests that have been replaced and needs to dispose of the old vests. A company has been located in Miami, Florida, PACORP, which will purchase the vests from the city for $5.75 each, for a total of $523.25. PACORP will pay for shipping and handling costs. PACORP redistributes the vests to law enforcement agencies in third world countries. The Police Chief is further requesting that the funds received from the sale of the vests be applied to offset the 50 percent match of future vest purchases. Moved by Clark, seconded by Getty that said request be approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Berry. Motion carried. The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to establish fees for Sprinkler and Fire Alarm System Review and Inspection on new installations was reviewed. Currently, Fire Department inspectors spend many hours reviewing and inspecting new sprinkler and fire alarm system installations. When a new sprinkler system is installed, the inspectors review the plans of the system and make numerous visits to the building at no charge. The Fire Chief is proposing that the fees for inspection of the system be set at the same rate as the building permit schedule. The city is looking at adopting the International Building Code, which allows less regulations for those buildings that have a sprinkler system, and the Fire Chief believes sprinkler systems will become an important factor during the inspection process. Moved by Clark, seconded by Getty that said request be approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Berry. Motion carried. With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Clark that the meeting be adjourned at 4:47 p.m. Ayes: Two. Absent: Berry. Motion carried.

The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to increase the fees for billable ambulance supplies was reviewed. Fire Chief Ned DeBerg stated that the supplies include items such as IVs, bandages, and cervical collars. Chief DeBerg is proposing a 25 percent across the board increase for said supplies. The cost for a typical advanced call would increase by approximately $11. The proposed increase should generate an additional $30,000 per year. The ambulance supplies fees have not been changed since 1997. Councilperson Hurley stated we are coming up with what is equitable and recovering our costs. Moved by Clark, seconded by Berry that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to increase fire investigation fees was reviewed.

The request of the Police Chief for authorization to hire three police officers on or about April 1, 2002 was reviewed. Sergeant Larry Thompson retired from the Police Department on February 2, 2002, and three additional officers have announced their intentions to retire in the near future. Sergeant Jack Lockett will retire on February 26, 2002, Sergeant Marisue Thompson will vest her retirement on April 1, 2002 and Officer Terry Slickers will retire on April 2, 2002. In order to maintain proper police services and provide community protection, the Police Chief is requesting authorization to fill three of the anticipated vacancies with three new officers on or about April 1, 2002. These appointments will deplete the current Civil Service list. If approved, these appointments will bring the police officer strength up to 120 sworn police officers. Funds for the positions have been budgeted in the Police Department's FY02 Budget. Police Chief Tom Jennings stated that he would like to hire the three police officers in order for them to attend the Police Academy on April 15, 2002. The next Police Academy is scheduled in September 2002. Councilperson Berry stated that the council is looking at the FY03 Budget, and she asked what would happen if there were layoffs. Chief Jennings responded that between April 2002 and July 1, 2002 an additional three officers will retire and over the next twelve months seven more officers are anticipated to retire. Chief Jennings stated that if we miss the opportunity for the new officers to attend the Academy in April, it will be a year before the officers will be on the street. Councilperson Clark stated that if the council decides to lower the levy for FY03, there may have to be layoffs, and he does not want to get into the situation where we hire new officers and then lay them off. Councilperson Clark recommended that the committee authorize hiring the three officers,but in the future will have to look at not filling vacant positions because of the budget. Councilperson Berry commented she is comfortable the three positions have been budgeted in the FY02 Budget, but she has the same concerns as Councilperson Clark.

The vehicles have been received at a total cost of$60,285.00, leaving a balance of $4,715.00. The city uses bond money to cover the cost of equipping the vehicles, with any needed equipment, striping the vehicles, transferring existing lights, sirens, cages, radio equipment, radar units, computer equipment, camera equipment, and the necessary hardware, wiring and miscellaneous items needed to complete the installation of equipment into the new vehicles. Exact cost is difficult to define as many of the items needed are unknown until the actual work is being performed and equipment is removed and fitted into a new vehicle.
