EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Providing all hazard response and Community Risk Reduction services is a dynamic and <br />a critical service for all communities. Traditional service models are the norm for most <br />organizations, which have served their communities well for a very long time. However, <br />circumstances may dictate an unconventional solution to providing service may be in order. The <br />SBMFD provides unconventional and unique services to its stakeholders. While not an exact fit <br />for each community, services primarily depend on risk profile, the size of the community and <br />other factors. <br />The SBMFD has operated an unconventional service model for decades, which includes <br />unique staffing for operations as well as innovative Community Risk Reduction programs, <br />coming together to create a balance between effectiveness and efficiency. This balance is <br />dependent upon many factors including response profile, apparatus and equipment, station <br />locations, personnel, corporate structure, leadership and organizational culture. <br />This proposal is lengthy and does not cover all facets of contractual language or all parts <br />of the implementation of a new service model. However, it does provide details as to what the <br />City of Fridley, and it stakeholders, can expect with the SBMFD leading the Fire Department <br />within their community. This proposal will create more questions about the implementation of <br />the different items contained within. Proper and effective implementation of this proposal will <br />require significant levels of communication as well as the collaboration of many different, and <br />equally important, internal and external stakeholders. <br />21page <br />
