1. Data to Deployment Clark County Fire Department IAFF 2007 EMS Conference

2. Early 2000 – Population Growth beyond service capability –Large residential development 5,000-6,000 new residents per month Growth in the outlying areas Extended response times with current resources Tax base could not support without mandates –Public Service –Customer Service 100,000 – 500,000 tourist each day Situation Overview

3. Rural Stations

4. Urban Stations

5. Quick Look at Statistics Population Served - *1,815,700 The number includes only the residents and is not indicative of the actual population served. Our community welcomes over 41 million visitors each year. This means that on average, the combined population of Clark County, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson nearly doubles its volume each month.

6. Quick Look at Statistics... Land Area Covered (in sq. miles)- 7,420 Paid Fire Stations- 25 / Paid Firefighters- 614 Volunteer Fire Stations- 13 / Volunteer Firefighters- 350 Inspectors & Investigators- 58 Support Employees- 50 Total Incidents- 103,944 Fire Incidents- 4,143 Medical Incidents- 76,120 Fire Prevention Inspections- 99,133 Construction Plan Reviews - 8,538

7. Proposed Solution Need for fire and EMS service to keep outpacing growth Developer-based agreements –Large scale builders –Ensure emergency services not compromised

8. Thoughts Behind the Idea Builder making large profits Builder needs planning and zoning permits Fire department involved in inspections for permits Builder would agree to build fire station Builder agree to equip station with adequate resources to service the population in the area –Based on stations in comparable areas of the county –Staffing to be absorbed by local tax base (new population of residential) Station built at the same time as the building under construction

9. Influence with the Builders Used in residential sales approach Large parcels of land almost used up No more lots available by 2012 –Timing is everything Little impact in areas that are already developed

10. Las Vegas Strip Corridor 2-3 miles in length Large scale impact on emergency service resources Open land parcels in this area are significantly smaller Older structures are being demolished to allow for newer innovative structures Three profit levels –Residential –Retail –Convention space As many as 70 new structures planned to be built in this area Scheduled to be completed by 2010

11. Significant Structures City Center – south of the Bellagio Hotel Twin 50-60 story high rise residential –250,000 new residents in less than 1 square mile Retail shops

12. Nuts and Bolts of Development Agreements Using City Center (owned by MGM) as example: Anticipated emergency services problems due to highly congested area Fire department committee formed for collaboration –Administration –Fire prevention –Labor (Local 1908) Met with developers to discuss anticipated problems upon occupation MGM management understood the issue and agreed proposals were in best interest of workers now and occupants upon completion City Center coordinators agreed to –build a fire station –furnish all living standards –purchase a new engine and two rescue units to be housed at the station Station to be opened 12 months prior to certificate of occupancy

13. Considerations of Developer Agreements Legal consult from District Attorney Data –Response projections –Geographic boundaries –Estimated financial impacts (now and future) Planning and Zoning understanding of intent of agreements to assure longevity Political leaders who understand the intent and won’t back door you with the builders Financial representative to assist you with the numbers Qualified architect A fire department representative to assure fire station is located appropriately for accessibility in conjunction with the building Inspectors to check plans and to be dedicated on site to assure no lag time

14. Methods for Station Planning for New Property Baseline of 3,000 responses per year is the maximum a unit can handle and still comply with mandated training requirements and other required activities. Response projection for new property is based on 4 years of response data from comparable existing properties

15. Data Points Collected Number of Annual Responses Types of Responses –Medical –Fire –Hazmat Type of units responding –Rescue –Engine –Truck –Special operations Number of units responding –Single unit response – medical, public assist –Two/three unit response – vehicle accident, elevator –Four or more unit response- fire, hazmat

16. Building Data Points Square Footage of convention space Square footage of retail space Number of rooms –Condo –Resort –Hotel Historical data for similar properties –Anticipated responses

17. Overhead Costs Estimated operating costs for suppression –Captain –Engineer –Firefighters –Etc… Support personnel –Training –Mechanics –Administrative staff Salary projection for 12 months from the opening date of the project

18. Facility Costs Assumptions: –Typical fire station with 3 bays –Single unit requires 1/3 fire station

19. Cost Projection Formula Example: –1500 projected calls /3000 = 50% –1 rescue unit needed at $806,140 $806,140 x 50% = $403,170 –1 fire engine at $1.3 million $1.3 million x 50% = 650,000 –Fire station costs = $10.5 million 2/3 of a station = $7 million $7 million x 50% = $3.5 million –Overhead Salary – 1 year/50% = $1.5 million TOTAL = $6,053,170

20. Proposals Alexander Villas –Station – 5% contribution –Engine – 18% contribution –Personnel – 18% contribution (1 year) –Fire Inspector (24 months- construction period) –Plans Checker (24 Months) –Fire Prevention vehicle and equipment –Total = $1,459,404

21. Proposals Gemstone –Station – 6% contribution –Engine – 21% contribution –Personnel – 21% contribution (1 year) –Fire Inspector (.83 for 24 months- construction period) –Plans Checker (.24 for 24 Months) –Fire Prevention vehicle and equipment –Total = $1,595,416

22. Proposals Echelon Place –Station – 24% contribution –Rescue (EMS) Unit – 0% –Engine – 60% contribution –Truck – 60% contribution –Personnel – 0% contribution –Fire Inspector (2 for 24 months- construction period) –Plans Checker (1 for 24 Months) –Fire Prevention vehicle, equipment and support staff –Total = $5,225,019

23. Proposals Fontainebleau –Station – 50% contribution –Rescue (EMS) Unit – 0% –Engine – 50% contribution –Truck – 50% contribution –Personnel – 0% contribution –Fire Inspector - 0 –Plans Checker -0 –Fire Prevention vehicle, equipment -0 –Total = $2,745,960

24. Proposals Las Palmas –Station – 34.4% contribution –Rescue (EMS) Unit – 0% –Engine – 22.9% contribution –Truck – 11.5% contribution –Personnel – 0% contribution –Fire Inspector - 0 –Plans Checker -0 –Fire Prevention vehicle, equipment -0 –Total = $1,822,440

25. Proposals Sands Expo –Station – 4.3% contribution –Rescue (EMS) Unit – 0% –Engine – 2.9% contribution –Truck – 1.4% contribution –Personnel – 4.3% contribution –Fire Inspector - 0 –Plans Checker -0 –Fire Prevention vehicle, equipment -0 –Total = $254,320
