In summation, adding another firefighter could be justified when looking at wages in the department, but not when the additional cost of benefits is factored in. It's pretty close though. Also, ambulance fees are a bit low although that is a complex situation. We are discussing whether we should bundle our fees as many peer communities have done, and probably don't want to make any changes until 1/1/17. Thanks, Bob Robert W.

Burns DATE: February 24, 2016 RE: FINCOM Request Regarding Ambulance Fees and Overtime FINCOM has requested information to determine if hiring an additional Firefighter will save enough overtime to fund the position. To determine if there are any savings in hiring an additional Firefighter, the Department's overtime expenditures were compiled from July 1, 2015 to February 19, 2016. The data was examined and the overtime hours that would be saved by staffing each group with an additional Firefighter was determined. Since the Fire Department is organized around four groups of Firefighters, overtime expenditures were compiled for each of the four groups. Please see figure 1 below: Overtime Hours an Additional Position Would Eliminate Group Period of July 1, 2015 to February 2, 2016 Average O.T. Per Hour Total O.T. Cost Group 1 730 50.65 36,974.50 Group 2 678 50.65 34,340.70 Group 3 900 50.65 45,585.00 Group 4 868 50.65 43,964.20 Figure 1 Next the cost of a new Firefighter's salary for the time period was calculated. In reviewing the data, if a new Firefighter was assigned to Group 3 it would have saved $5,013 in overtime for this time period. If an additional Firefighter was added to the group at top step with educational incentive, this would have resulted in $6,435 in additional salary costs. Please see Firefighter salary data for this time period in figure 2 below: Mr. Robert W. LeLacheur, Jr February 24, 2016 Page 2 Firefighter Cost New Hire Payrolls Cost Per Payroll Total Cost Step E 18 2254 40,572.00 Step 4 Associates 18 2890 52,020.00 Figure 2 It is important to note that when doing this type of analysis several items can impact the cost of overtime expenditures to cover the loss of a long term sick or injured Firefighter. These items include: group staffing, when the vacancy occurs (peak vacation time period) and the number and timing of the injuries. For example during a four month vacancy, the impact will be higher if two firefighters are out injured for two months at the same time during the summer peak vacation period. By comparison, a Firefighter out for the four months of January through April will in all likelihood result in lower overtime costs due to a period of lower vacation usage. Secondly, if we are fully staffed we would be able to transfer a Firefighter to cover the vacancy and mitigate the overtime expense. When we compared this fiscal year's overtime expenditures to last fiscal year's expenditures we found the following: • We had savings in July due to having four new replacement firefighters on board. • We had higher costs in August, September, and October. This is due to two long term injuries and our four new firefighters attending the fire academy • We had lower costs in November, December and January. This was due to the long term injuries returning to work and Firefighters completing their fire academy training. The data does clearly show that when on a group requires overtime to cover shifts in excess of 1160 hours or 53% of the assigned shifts, hiring an entry level Firefighter will result in savings. This percentage rises to 68% or 1487 hours for a Firefighter at top step with education incentive. Therefore, if we have two groups with a staffing level of 12 and two groups staffed at 11, we have the flexibility to transfer up to two Firefighters to cover any vacancies that arise over the fiscal year. By staffing the groups at this level, it will avoid spikes in overtime expenditures due to injuries or illness.

Phone: 781- 944 -3132 Fax: 781- 942 -9114 TO: Mr. Robert W. LeLacheur, Jr. CFA, Town Manager FROM: Chief Gregory J. Burns DATE: February 24, 2016 RE: FINCOM Request Regarding Ambulance Fees FINCOM has requested information to determine how our ambulance fees compared to communities that have been designated as "comparable communities ". To determine how our ambulance fees compared, a request for ambulance fee information was sent out to 26 communities. Information was received back from 13 of these communities. There are three service levels for emergency ambulance billing. The levels are Basic Life Support- Emergency (BLS -E), Advanced Life Support -1 (ALS -1) and Advanced Life Support-2 (ALS -2). The ALS -2 patient is the most critical level of care and requires the highest level of treatment and services. Looking at data from last fiscal year 44.88% of our patients were billed in the BLS -E category. 53.54% of our patients were billed in the ALS -1 category and 1.57% were billed at the ALS -2 category. With our current ambulance rate structure, we bill a fee for the level of service then add additional charges based upon the treatments received and number of miles of the transport to the hospital. Nine of the thirteen communities have gone to a bundled fee structure. Under a bundled fee structure the ambulance service bills a flat fee for the service Ievel (BLS -E, ALS -1 or ALS -2) and then adds a fee for the transport mileage to the hospital. To have as close a comparison as possible the cost of an average patient in each category was calculated with a 7 mile transport to a local hospital. The cost for the service level for each community was averaged and then compared to Reading's fees. 6) Mr. Robert W. LeLacheur, Jr February 24, 2016 Page 2 The result of that comparison shows our rates for BLS -E and ALS -1 is low compared to these communities. Our rates for ALS -2 are slightly above our comparable communities and this is because due to the critical nature of these patients we frequently add a third person (extra attendant) to the ambulance crew to assist in treatment. Our charge for this additional crew member is higher than all other comparable communities. Please see figure 1 below: Service Level Reading Average Patient Comparable Community Average Patient Percent Difference Basic Life Support - Emergency 1,103.00 1,368.22 - 19.38% Advanced Life Support 1 1,300.00 1,831.09 - 29.00% Advanced Life Support 2 2,425.00 2,378.28 1.960/.
