EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR COUNTY VOTERS' PAMPHLET ~AME OF PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTENT ~AME OF ORGANIZATION PERSON REPRESENTS, IF ANY: J~ALLOT TITLE CAPTION: Fire Chief Keith Woodley City of Ashland THREE-YEAR SERIAL LEVY TO PURCHASE TWO F~RE BNGINES; j~EASURE NUMBER: 15 - 1 Explanatory Statement: This proposed three year serial levy is for the purpose of replacing two aged and unreliable firefighting vehicles. Both vehicles are pumpers, meaning they pump water on fires in emergency situations. One was manufactured in 1962 and the other in 1973. Heavy use of these vehicles has resulted in their depreciation and increased breakdowns requiring frequent repairs. The fire department has identified a need to replace these vehicles with four-wheel drive firefighting vehicles to improve emergency response capabilities in upper elevations and wildland areas of the City. Drought conditions in Southern Oregon over the past seven years have increased the need for the prompt and reliable response of fire department equipment to fire alarms within the City. Rapid control of fires is crucial to prevent the spread of fire into adjacent structures and wildland areas. Increased fire alarm responses create additional burdens on the old firefighting vehicles. New state and federal safety guidelines require improved firefighting vehicle safety to reduce the number of firefighter deaths and injuries which occur in equipment-related accidents. New firefighting vehicle designs reduce firefighter deaths and injuries, and improve efficiency of firefighting operations. A recent review by the Insurance Services Office, which establishes fire insurance ratings upon which some fire insurance premiums are based, reinforced the need for the City to maintain the service integrity of its firefighting vehicles. While the Fire Department has established a replacement account for capital equipment replacement projects, ~hese monies are only sufficient to cover the cost of replacing the emergency medical response vehicles within the depa~'~men~. The cost of fire equipment has dramatically increased as a result of safety regulations and liabili%y issues, forcing a need for funding outside of the department's annua) operating budget. If this levy is authorized by the voters of Ashland, the first firefighting vehicle will probably arrive in 3uly. 1993. WOR~ COiJNT TOTN.; 307 PiE TOTAL ~ COLINT CkNNOT F__XCEEO 325 WO~S.
