the Firefighter I level. In addition to other OEC classes, this allows students to graduate high school with EMR, EMT, FFI, FFII, HazMat Ops, NA-R, CPR Instructor certifications — eligible for 28 college credits and a value of over $1050006 III. Provide an additional responder to daytime emergency calls a. While Mr. Lindstrom only responds to calls on a limited basis, he has added critical staffing during school holidays and will be vital during the summer months. Summer represents a busier time of year with events, vacations, public outreach, and emergency calls. While conducting community outreach and education, he will also act as a primary responder like all of our full-time staff. IV. Supplement and support our Fire Exploring Program a. Mr. Lindstrom has become an integral part of our Exploring Program. Acting in a near identical capacity to his daytime duties, John has assisted at over a dozen Exploring meetings. With new Advisors in the Post, he has been able to provide expertise in many areas that would not otherwise be able to be taught. Additionally he has been able to bridge the gap with our Exploring Post and the OEC Exploring Post like never before. This provides additional opportunities into the future with joint training, cross -certification, event involvement, and more. We view the Exploring Program as a primary recruiting avenue as well as a strong tool for staff/leader/instructor development in a unique setting. To date we have hired 4 Explorers onto the Department in just 4 years of existence. V. Support the CRR Division through community outreach and public education a. The benefits of this aspect have not yet come to fruition with much of John's time currently dedicated to the High School. The summer months will be completely dedicated to CRR and we have a full slate already planned. As stated with Becky's position, there are numerous requests going unfulfilled and core programs that need redevelopment and revision. John's experience and skillset will suit the division very well this summer and every summer moving forward as the division experiences its busiest months of the year. John, like Becky, would spread his time and efforts to reflect our formula distribution as closely as possible. By nature of his position, more time will be spent in the school district of ISD# 16 though OEC has students from Mounds View, Irondale, Fridley, Totino-Grace, Centennial, Blaine, Coon Rapids, and home schools. NOTE: This position is pending an ongoing contract with ISD#16 and relies on the support of both the cities of SLP, Blaine, MV and the School District. Additionally, if over the next 4 months the pilot decreases in success, the Board of Directors and Managers/Administrators will be made aware. SBMFD Leadership Team
