AGENDA ATTACHMENT ORANGE COUNTY FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION Request to the Orange County Commissioners for appointment of Orange County Fire Marshal Presented by Louis G. Freeland, Jr, , President May 16, 1978 The Orange County Fire Chiefs request the Orange County Commissioners to establish the position of County Fire Marshal,, approporiate the necessary funds and appoint the qualified person to the position withine the calendar year 1978, .Orange County is in dare need of a. Fire Marshal to coordinate all Fire Prevention programs and activities within the County. His services will benifit all the citizens of Orange County; all Fire Departments; all public institutions and will eventually show a savings in the cost of the County fire service. Public demand for Fire Prevention Programs are rapidly increasing. And the need is ever increasing for qualified coordinated training for all of the existing fire depa'rtments. Recent state legistation also shows that the County will need a full time fire Marshal to adequately meet the requirements of the State Education and Training ;P an (House Bill 992--Chapter 1064) enacted duly i, 1977. Recent research studies show that solutions to some of the high-risk rural fire areas problems can be solved by funding for organizing, train- ing and equipping fire fighters; developing educational programs and escape planning; and enactment and enforcement of codes pertaining to fire prevention. (Fire News, April 1978). A detailed list of the suggested duties for the County Fire Marshal is attached. It clearly shows that we now, in Orange County can do more in the way of providing more effective fire prevention, by adding a Fire Marshal to the county staff. Also a copy of a Fire Marshal 's Job Description is present for information. It is recommended that the Fire Marshal also be appointed the Civil Preparedness Officer. But he should not be obligated to any other positions. In the dual capacity as Fare Marshal and Civil Preparedness Officer, he will be in the position to effectively plan and execute emergency actions, utilizing the county fire equipment in order to render assistance to the county citizens. A recent example of this would be the ice storms of this past year. AGENDA ATTACHMENT" I The initial budget cost to fill, the Fire Marshals position should include salary, fringe benefits, transportation cost and limited part time lor share secretarial assistance.

Whitted to Mr. Walker: to One of the things we talked about earlier was combining the Civil Preparedness job with this. Mr. Forrest spoke to the point that he thought that at least for the first ear or longer, it would be a full time job just being a Fare Marshal. Some thought has to go into exactly what �osition we want to create. So Mr. Gattis is going to sort that out and come back with a recommendation along �i.th the budget to consider at that time.

The plumbing is generally in fair shape except all water closets are old model built without seats, Some W.C. 's need to be removed. The building manager mentioned the need for additional children's toilets near the kindergarten. 4. The hea ing problem is caused by the fact that there is no ceiling insulation and windows have broken glass as well as loose fitting. There is also a need for storm windows and weatherstripping. 5. The ceiling the consists of 2' x 41 the nailed to runners on the underside of ceiling joists. There is evidence of leaking on tiles. 6. The shingles on the roof must be replaced to cure roof leaks. 7. The rain ater gutters and down-spouts need replacing as well as the facia bo rd. K One doub Ile set of 3' x 7' doors needs to be replaced, with dour closers and closers need to be installed on the other set. — 9. Replace 11lumbing drain from dental laboratory area. _ 10.

(This sizing is predicated on - insulation and storm windows) (see my letter of date) $15,000.00 Items #1 thru #7 are a necessity. Items #8 through #10 are diseriable. Items #11 thr ugh #17 are general renovations. Of course, outside trim painting is needed, however, I did not get an estimate on, that. The building manager is talking about relocating some partitions in the future. ' Should it be decided to do this work., the build should be fit for occupancy for several years. It appears that it will cost approximately $21 ,60(1.00 to get the building in shape to be occupied with a reasonable heating bill. The remainder, with rewiring would be approximately $53,380,00. The total bill would be $75,980.00. This figure does not include fees or inflation. I trust hat this will give you the inform-ation which you desire. If there are any further questions, please call me. Respectfully submitted, _ M. Ray Ha den, Jr, , P,E. '. ` 1;6 Consulting Engineer MRH/i by i 1 :(5 A 1 JOINT ' WESTON A.
