SUBJECT
A Presentation from the California High-Speed Rail Authority
Presented by: Representatives from the California High-Speed Rail Authority
Recommendation:
No action required by City Council. This is a presentation only.
Backgroud:
Ten years ago, when Californians went to the polls to decide whether the state should build a high-speed rail system,
they voted, “Yes.” They did so because they recognized that an environmentally clean, fast and efficient high-speed rail
system would fundamentally transform how people move around the state, put people to work building the system, spur
economic growth and new industries, and help achieve our state’s ambitious environmental objectives.
While high speed-rail promises many state and regional benefits, there are also significant impacts that high speed rail
will bring to the City of Vernon. Representatives from the California High-Speed Rail Authority will present information
on the status of this project and its potential impacts on the City of Vernon.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-282-2018
Submitted by: Matthew Ceballos
Submitting Department: City Clerk
Meeting Date: September 18, 2018
SUBJECT
Abolish the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency
Recommendation:
A. Find that the dissolution of the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency does not
constitute a “project” pursuant to section 15378(b)(2) of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), because it constitutes an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the
environment; and even if the adoption of the proposed resolution did constitute a project, it would be exempt from
CEQA in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an
effect on the environment; and
B. Abolish the Vernon Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency.
Backgroud:
California Health and Safety Code Section 34179 required that there be an oversight board consisting of seven
members established for each of the former California redevelopment agencies' successor agencies to supervise the
activities of the successor agency and the wind down of the dissolved redevelopment agency's affairs pursuant to AB26.
Due to Senate Bill 107, the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency (OB) duties have
now been consolidated into one of five Countywide Oversight Boards, as of July 1, 2018. The Los Angeles County
Auditor-Controller (A-C) is responsible for providing administrative support staff to the consolidated Oversight Boards.
Because the Vernon OB has no present purpose due to the County consolidation, Staff recommends it be abolished.
Successor Agency staff will be responsible for submitting Agenda Entries and corresponding Supporting Documents to
County Commission Staff per the County instructions.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY OVERSIGHT BOARDS
CONSOLIDATION-JULY 1, 2018
In September 2015, the State of California approved Senate Bill No. 107 (SB 1 07) which
guides the final technical steps in the dissolution of local redevelopment agencies. SB
1 07 calls for significant changes to the redevelopment dissolution process, with additional
clarifications and regulatory amendments that are intended to streamline the dissolution
process.
SB 1 07 makes several process changes related to Oversight Boards. The legislation
calls for counties with more than 40 Oversight Boards (i.e., Los Angeles County) to
consolidate into five Oversight Boards. One Oversight Board for each of the five County
Supervisorial Districts. Each consolidated Oversight Board shall have jurisdiction over
each Successor Agency located within its borders. If a Successor Agency has territory
located within more than one Supervisorial District, the County Board of Supervisors shall,
no later than July 15, 2018, determine which Oversight Board shall have jurisdiction over
that Successor Agency.
SB 107 moves the date of Oversight Board consolidation from July 1, 2016 to July 1,
2018. Because of these provisions, on July 1, 2018 each of the local Oversight Boards
in Los Angeles County will be consolidated into one of five Countywide Oversight Boards.

The five consolidated Oversight Boards will have the authority to oversee and direct the
Successor Agencies to expeditiously retire all enforceable obligations and liquidate or
dispose of assets identified in the Long Range Property Management Plan. The
Oversight Board will also continue its role in approving the administrative cost allowance,
as well as reviewing the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. SB 107 provides
that the Oversight Board for a particular Successor Agency will cease to exist when the
Successor Agency has been formally dissolved. The consolidated Oversight Boards will
cease to exist when all of the Successor Agencies in the County have been formally
dissolved.
Pursuant to SB 1 07, each of the five consolidated Oversight Board members are
appointed as follows:
{1) One member may be appointed by the County Board of Supervisors.
{2) One member may be appointed by the City Selection Committee established
pursuant to Government Code Section 50270.
{3) One member may be appointed by the Independent Special District Selection
Committee established pursuant to Government Code Section 56332 for the types
of special districts that are eligible to receive property tax revenues pursuant to
Section 34188.
{4) One member may be appointed by the County Superintendent of Education to
represent schools if the superintendent is elected. If the County Superintendent of
Education is appointed, then the appointment made pursuant to this paragraph shall
be made by the County Board of Education.
{5) One member may be appointed by the Chancellor of the California Community
Colleges to represent community college districts in the County.
{6) One member of the public may be appointed by the County Board of Supervisors.
{7) One member may be appointed by the recognized employee organization
representing the largest number of Successor Agency employees in the County.
The Governor may appoint individuals to fill any Oversi'ght Board member position that
has not been filled by July 15, 2018 or any member position that remains vacant for more
than 60 days.
The A-C will work with appointing entities to identify consolidated Oversight Board
members and alternates. As previously mentioned, the A-C will be surveying jurisdictions
to identify cities that are interested in providing administrative support staffing to the
consolidated Oversight Boards.
If you have questions or concerns about the Oversight Board consolidation process
please contact me at (213) 97 4-8533 or gzelenski@auditor.lacounty.gov and Kristina

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-223-2018
Submitted by: Matthew Ceballos
Submitting Department: City Clerk
Meeting Date: September 18, 2018
SUBJECT
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon adopting an amended Biennial Code Review Update to the
Master Conflict of Interest Code for the City of Vernon and all Agencies, Boards, and Commissions affiliated with the
City
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review,
because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve resolution adopting an amended and updated Master Conflict of Interest Code for the City of Vernon and
all affiliated agencies, boards and commissions, which incorporates all recommendations from the various affiliated City
of Vernon governing bodies and City staff review effective immediately; and
C. Repeal all other existing Conflict of Interest Codes for the City of Vernon and all other City of Vernon affiliated
governing bodies.
Backgroud:
The Political Reform Act requires each local agency to adopt and update its Conflict of Interest Code ("Code")
biennially. The Code must enumerate the positions "which involve the making or participation in the making of decisions
which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest of that position." The Code must also specify the
categories of financial disclosure that are required for each designated position. Each individual holding a position listed
within the Code must file a "Statement of Economic Interest" (the "Form 700") and disclose his or her financial interests
in the specified categories.
The City, and its affiliated agencies, boards and commissions reviewed their conflict of interest codes in the manner
prescribed by Government Code Sections 87302 (a) and 87303. Staff recommends the approval of the proposed
Master Conflict of Interest Code which incorporates the review and recommendations from City Staff, and
City-affiliated agencies, boards, and commissions. All recommendations have been reviewed and approved by the
Office of the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-301-2018
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos
Submitting Department: Fire Department
Meeting Date: September 18, 2018
SUBJECT
Approval of Second Amendment to Agreement Number C-127390 of City of Los Angeles Contract between the City
of Los Angeles and the City of Vernon in Connection with the Fiscal Year 2015 Urban Areas Security Initiative Grant
Program
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the amendment proposed is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
review, because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve the Second Amendment to Agreement Number C-127390 of City of Los Angeles Contract between the
City of Los Angeles and the City of Vernon in connection with the Fiscal Year 2015 Urban Areas Security Initiative
(“2015 UASI”) grant program, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, and authorize the Mayor to
execute all necessary documents. Due to a reallocation of 2015 UASI funds, the City of Los Angeles approved and
increased the City of Vernon’s grant funds by $99,601.00.
Backgroud:
On March 15, 2016, the City Council of the City of Vernon adopted Resolution No. 2016-12 approving participation
in the 2015 UASI grant program. The City of Los Angeles approved and awarded $144,599.00 to the City of
Vernon’s Fire and Police Departments to fund the purchase of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive
(“CBRNE”), Hazardous Materials and Urban Search & Rescue training and equipment, Physical Security Enhancement
Equipment and Personal Protective Equipment.
On September 20, 2016, the City Council of the City of Vernon approved the First Amendment to Agreement Number
C-127390 of City of Los Angeles Contract between the City of Los Angeles and the City of Vernon, to reallocate
$70,000.00 of the approved UASI 15 grant funds to the City of Long Beach Fire Department to fund a contractor that
would provide education curriculum for the LA/LBUA region. As a result of the reallocation, the total awarded amount
of UASI 15 grant funds was decreased to $74,599.00.
On April 19, 2018, the California Office of Emergency Services approved an extension of the UASI 15 performance

Drug Enforcement Administration Agreement
Recommendation:
A. Find that the approval of the proposed agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)

participation in the Southwest Border Initiative (SWBI) taskforce with an effective date of October 1, 2018.
Backgroud:
Since 2008, the Vernon Police Department (VPD) has dedicated one Detective to participate in the SWBI narcotics
investigation taskforce. The goal of the SWBI narcotics taskforce is to disrupt illicit drug traffic in the region by
immobilizing targeted violators and trafficking organizations, and gather and report intelligence data relating to narcotics
trafficking and dangerous drugs.
Participation in the SWBI taskforce has been advantageous for the VPD. The assigned Detective has gained vast
experience and knowledge from the taskforce investigations. The VPD has also utilized resources from the taskforce
with multifaceted investigations when there is a need for additional personnel and expertise. In addition, participation in
the taskforce provides the VPD revenues from asset forfeiture proceeds related to narcotics investigations.
In order to continue its participation in the SWBI taskforce, the VPD must enter into an annual agreement with DEA.
City legal staff has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by the approval of the SWBI taskforce agreement.

Office of Traffic Safety Grant Agreement
Recommendation:
A. Find that the approval of the proposed agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the

Reduce the number of persons killed and/or injured in traffic collisions; reduce the number of persons killed and/or
injured in DUI related collisions; and raise public awareness about DUI enforcement activities in the Los Angeles
County region.
In order to accomplish the goals of the program, participating agencies will be required to take part in various
enforcement activities which include saturation patrol details, motorcycle safety enforcement, distracted driving
enforcement, pedestrian and bicycle enforcement, and DUI checkpoints.
VPD staff will coordinate enforcement activities as required on an overtime basis. The VPD will receive reimbursement
for a majority of the overtime related costs (benefits cost not included). The VPD has participated in this program for a
number of years and has been successful in attaining the goals specified.
To participate in the program, law enforcement agencies are required to sign an agreement to receive reimbursement for
personnel overtime costs. Reimbursements will be made within 90 days of receipt of an invoice, activity log, and
quarterly traffic collision reports. The term of this agreement shall remain in effect until September 30, 2019.
Legal staff has reviewed and approved the proposed agreement as to form.
Fiscal Impact:

There are sufficient overtime funds in the FY2018-2019 VPD budget for participation in STEP. The projected

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Vernon's target population for enforcement efforts is DUI drivers, as well as those who commit other
violations (speed, distracted driving, turning/yielding violations, etc.) that may contribute to traffic collisions. Our
mission is to continue to be simple in concept: reduce traffic collisions and in doing so, reduce injuries and deaths
associated to such collisions.
The City of Vernon Public Works Traffic Engineering Division conducted a Traffic Collision Review Report in
2014. Included in the report are the most frequent locations of traffic collisions and a list of the top primary collision
factors. Current statistics (refer to Traffic Data Summary below) from 2015-2017 indicate the top primary collision
factors have remained the same.
In examining the OTS Collision Rankings for 2015, we have also identified the below problem areas that we recognize
need to be addressed. As a part of the Group G, Vernon had the following rankings:
Total Fatal and Injury: 3/12
Alcohol Involved: 2/12
Had Been Drinking Driver < 21: 1/12
Had Been Drinking Driver 21 - 34: 3/12
Motorcycles: 3/12
Pedestrians: 3/12
Bicyclists: 1/12
Composite: 2/12
Speed Related: 5/12
Nighttime (9:00 pm - 2:59am) 2/12
Hit and Run: 1/12
Grant funds and activities will help us to reduce traffic collisions, therefore reducing associated injuries and deaths.
Our target population is not just limited to "infractions violators" and/or "DUI suspects." The Vernon Police
Department sincerely wants our entire community to know that traffic safety is a major priority to us. That is one of
the reasons why the Press Release (via newspapers and social media) during the cycle of the grant is so important; it
communicates to the public that there is an emphasis and priority on traffic safety in our City. We intend to continue to
drive home this message, through educational handouts at checkpoints and/or during routine public contacts.
The following is a traffic data summary, including 2017 statistics:
3 fatal collisions with 3 victims (2 more than 2016)
167 collisions with 249 victims (7 more collisions and 17 more victims than 2016)
7 alcohol involved collisions with injuries, with 14 injured victims (3 more collisions and 7 more victims than
2016)
6 collisions involving injured pedestrian victims (1 more than 2016), with no fatalities
13 collisions involving injured bicycle victims (1 more than 2016), with no fatalities

overall deterrent effect and promote high visibility, it is recommended the grantee issue an
advance press release and conduct social media activity for each checkpoint. For
combination DUI/DL checkpoints, departments should issue press releases that mention
DL's will be checked at the DUI/DL checkpoint. Signs for DUI/DL checkpoints should
read "DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint Ahead." OTS does not fund or support
independent DL checkpoints. Only on an exception basis and with OTS pre-approval will
OTS fund checkpoints that begin prior to 1800 hours. When possible, DUI/DL Checkpoint
screeners should be DRE- or ARIDE-trained.

3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year)
The department will develop operational plans to implement the “best practice” strategies outlined in the
objectives section.
All training needed to implement the program should be conducted this quarter.
All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made this quarter.
In order to develop/maintain the “Hot Sheets,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of the
worst” repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI convictions. The Hot
143
8/15/2018 10:35:10 AM Page 5 of 15
Sheets may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB, description, current license status, and the
number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. Hot Sheets should be updated and distributed to traffic and
patrol officers at least monthly.
Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high collision
locations.Media Requirements
Issue a press release announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, but no earlier than October
1. If unable to meet the November 15 date, communicate reasons to your OTS Coordinator. The kick-off
press releases and any related media advisories, alerts, and materials must be emailed for approval to the
OTS Public Information Officer at pio@ots.ca.gov, and copied to your OTS Coordinator, 14 days prior to
the issuance date of the release.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year)
The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call attention to the
innovative program strategies and outcomes.Media Requirements
Send all grant-related activity press releases, media advisories, alerts and general public materials to the
OTS Public Information Officer (PIO) at pio@ots.ca.gov, with a copy to your OTS Coordinator. The
following requirements are for grant-related activities and are different from those regarding any grant
kick-off release or announcement.
If an OTS-supplied, template-based press release is used, there is no need for pre-approval,
however, the OTS PIO and Coordinator should be copied when at the same time as the release is
distributed to the press.
If an OTS-supplied template is not used, or is substantially changed, a draft press release shall be
sent to the OTS PIO for approval. Optimum lead-time would be 10 days prior to the release
distribution date, but should be no less than 5 working days prior to the release distribution date.
Press releases reporting the immediate and time-valued results of grant activities such as
enforcement operations are exempt from the recommended advance approval process, but still
should be copied to the OTS PIO and Coordinator when the release is distributed to the press.
Activities such as warrant or probation sweeps and court stings that could be compromised by
advanced publicity are exempt from pre-publicity, but are encouraged to offer embargoed media
coverage and to report the results.
Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials: Funding for this program
was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
Email the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 30 days in advance, a short
description of any significant grant-related traffic safety event or program so OTS has sufficient notice to
arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all printed or recorded material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer
graphics, etc.) to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval 14 days
prior to the production or duplication.
Space permitting, include the OTS logo, on grant-funded print materials; consult your OTS Coordinator for
specifics and format-appropriate logos.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator, sufficiently far enough in advance of need, for
consultation when deviation from any of the above requirements might be contemplated

accomplishments.
Provide a brief summary of quarterly accomplishments and explanations for objectives not
completed or plans for upcoming activities.
Collect, analyze and report statistical data relating to the grant goals and objectives.
4. METHOD OF EVALUATION

BUY AMERICA ACT
(applies to subrecipients as well as States)
The State and each subrecipient will comply with the Bu y America requirement (23 U.S.C. 313) when purchasing items
using Federal funds. Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase with Federal funds only steel, iron and
manufactured products produced in the United States, unless the Secretary of Transportation determines that such
domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public interest, that such materials are not reasonably
available and of a satisfactory quality, or
that inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In
order to use Federal funds to purchase forei gn produced items, the State must submit a
waiver request that provides an adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of
Transportation.
PROHIBITION ON USING GRANT FUNDS TO CHECK FOR HELMET USAGE
(applies to subrecipients as well as States)
The State and each subrecipient will not use 23 U.S.C. Chapter 4 grant funds for programs to check helmet usage or
to create checkpoints that specifically target motorcyclists.
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
All subrecipient law enforcement agencies shall comply with California law regarding profiling. Penal Code section
13519.4, subdivision (e), defines “racial profiling” as the “practice of detaining a suspect based on a broad set of criteria
which casts suspicion on an entire class of people without any individualized suspicion of the particular person being
stopped.” Then, subdivision (f) of that section goes on to provide, “A law enforcement officer shall not engage in racial
profiling.”

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-303-2018
Submitted by: Fred Cardenas
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: September 18, 2018
SUBJECT
Notification to the California Water Resources Control Board of City’s Intent to Destroy Well 5
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because
notifying a state agency of the City’s intent to destroy a well is an administrative activity that does not constitute a
“project” under CEQA Guidelines section 15378. When actual plans for destruction of the subject well are presented to
the City Council, further CEQA analysis will be conducted; and
B. Authorize the City Administrator to notify the California Water Resources Control Board that the City plans to
destroy Well 5.
Backgroud:
The City owns and operates a domestic water distribution system that provides high quality drinking water to
approximately 1,000 metered connections. Construction of the system started in the mid-1930s and at peak operations
served up to 12,000 acre feet per year of water in the mid-1990s. The City relied on a combination of imported and
ground water to supply the customer demands. Today, the demand for water has dropped to 7,000 acre feet per year
and the City provides daily demands purely with groundwater. Between the mid-1930s through 2018, the City
constructed 21 wells to meet customer demand. Currently, there are eight (8) active wells (and one back-up well) that
produce 7,800 acre feet per year on a five-day week pumping schedule. In order to improve the ground water
production reliability, the Water Division initiated plans to construct two new wells (Wells 22 and 23) and rehabilitate
three (3) existing wells. The two proposed wells will increase annual production to approximately 12,300 acre feet per
year.
On April 25, 1938 the City completed construction of Well 5. The well was operated until 1977 and, at that time,
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and excessive sand were detected in the well. The well is 81 years in age and
records could not be found that indicate the date when the well was decommissioned and the wellhead equipment was
removed. Due to drought conditions, the Water Division staff commissioned several technical memoranda in 2008 to
determine if retrofitting of the well was feasible. The memoranda defined the following:
•State’s compliance process to restore the well
•Recommended well development and pump testing to address the water quality and sanding issues
•Recommended the installation of an expensive liner due to the condition of the well’s original casing.
Since commissioning of the technical memoranda, the well has remained idle and it is uncertain whether or not further
degradation of the well has occurred.
155
The State Water Resources Control Board (Board) is the ruling regulatory compliance agency which oversees how
production wells are destroyed. Prior to Board standards, wells were abandoned by capping the well port 12 to 18
inches below grade. Today, the standard requires destruction of the well casing by sealing it with concrete or by other
more drastic methods such as explosives. The sole purpose of destroying wells by these methods is to prevent
groundwater contamination. The process requires the City to submit a destruction plan to the Board based on the
Board's established minimum standards (Attachment 2). The Board reviews the plan and issues an order as to the
preferred method for destruction of the well based on information provided by the City. As a point of reference, the
City has abandoned or destroyed 11 wells since becoming a water purveyor.
On August 21, 2017 the Board completed an inspection of the City of Vernon’s water system and listed Well 5 as a
deficiency (Attachment 1). A deficiency is an order requiring definitive action. The Board ordered the City to respond
by January 1, 2018 to either rehabilitate or destroy the well. Staff responded in January 2018 that more time was
needed to investigate possible rehabilitation of the well. The Board agreed to allow time for further investigation. Staff
completed the investigation and determined that Well 5 has met its intended life. To confirm the water quality and
sanding issues requires expensive well development and pump testing. The cost to perform the well development,
installation of the liner, pump testing and wellhead retrofit is estimated between $600,000 and $700,000. It would be of
greater benefit if the funds were redirected to the rehabilitation of an existing well which does not contain known
contaminates and is younger in age.
The following process will be used to destroy Well 5:
•Notification to the Board of the City intent to destroy the well
•Receipt of Board acknowledgement or recommendations
•Preparation of destruction specifications based on minimum Board standards
•Review and approval of specifications by the Board
•Preparation of Cost Estimate and Notice Inviting Bids
•Approval (as to form) of Notice Inviting Bids by City’s Legal Office
•Review and approval of specifications and Notice Inviting Bids by City Administration
•Award of contract by City Council
Fiscal Impact:
None.

Water Well Standards
CHAPTER II. STANDARDS
Section 23. Requirements for Destroying Wells.
A. Preliminary Work. Before the well is destroyed, it shall be investigated to
determine its condition, details of construction, and whether there are
obstructions that will interfere with the process of filling and sealing. This may
include the use of downhole television and photography for visual inspection of
the well.
1. Obstructions. The well shall be cleaned, as needed, so that all
undesirable materials, including obstructions to filling and sealing,
debris, oil from oil-lubricated pumps, or pollutants and contaminants that
could interfere with well destruction are removed for disposal.
The enforcing agency shall be notified as soon as possible if pollutants
and contaminants are known or suspected to be in a well to be destroyed.
Well destruction operations may then proceed only at the approval of the
enforcing agency.
The enforcing agency should be contacted to determine requirements for
proper disposal of materials removed from a well to be destroyed.
2. Where necessary, to ensure that sealing material fills not only the well
casing but also any annular space or nearby voids within the zone(s) to
be sealed, the casing should be perforated or otherwise punctured.
3. In some wells, it may be necessary or desirable to remove a part of the
casing. However, in many instances this can be done only as the well is
filled. For dug wells, as much of the lining as possible (or safe) should
be removed prior to filling.
179
B. Filling and Sealing
Conditions. Following are
requirements to be
observed when certain
conditions are
encountered:
1. Wells situated in
unconsolidated
material in an
unconfined
groundwater
zone.In all cases
the upper 20 feet
of the well shall
be sealed with
suitable sealing
material and the
remainder of the
well shall be filled
with suitable fill,
or sealing
material. (See
Figure 9A, of
Bulletin 74- 81.)
2. Well penetrating
several aquifers
or formations. In all cases the upper 20 feet of the well shall be sealed
with impervious material.
In areas where the interchange of water between aquifers will result in a
significantNote 22 deterioration of the quality of water in one or more
aquifers, or will result in a loss of artesian pressure, the well shall be
filled and sealed so as to prevent such interchange. Sand or other suitable
inorganic material may be placed opposite the producing aquifers and
other formations where impervious sealing material is not required. To
prevent the vertical movement of water from the producing formation,
impervious material must be placed opposite confining formations above
and below the producing formations for a distance of 10 feet or more.
The formation producing the deleterious water shall be sealed by placing
impervious material opposite the formation, and opposite the confining
formations for a sufficient vertical distance (but no less than 10 feet) in
180
both directions, or in the case of "bottom" waters, in the upward
direction. (See Figure 9B.)
In locations where interchange is in no way detrimental, suitable
inorganic material may be placed opposite the formations penetrated.
When the boundaries of the various formations are unknown, alternate
layers of impervious and pervious material shall be placed in the well.
3. Well penetrating creviced or fractured rock. If creviced or fractured rock
formations are encountered just below the surface, the portions of the
well opposite this formation shall be sealed with neat cement, sand-
cement grout, or concrete. If these formations extend to considerable
depth, alternate layers of coarse stoneNote 23 and cement grout or concrete
may be used to fill the well. Fine grained material shall not be used as
fill material for creviced or fractured rock formations.
4. Well in noncreviced, consolidated formation. The upper 20 feet of a well
in a noncreviced, consolidated formation shall be filled with impervious
material. The remainder of the well may be filled with clay or other
suitable inorganic material.
5. Well penetrating specific aquifers, local conditions. Under certain local
conditions, the enforcing agency may require that specific aquifers or
formations be sealed off during destruction of the well.
C. Placement of Material. The following requirements shall be observed in placing
fill or sealing material in wells to be destroyed:
1. The well shall be filled with the appropriate material (as described
inSubsection D of this section) from the bottom of the well up.
2. Where neat cement grout, sand-cement grout, or concrete is used, it shall
be poured in one continuous operation.
181
3. Sealing material shall be placed in the interval or intervals to be sealed
by methods that prevent free fall, dilution, and/or separation of aggregate
from cementing materials.
4. Where the head (pressure) producing flow is great, special care and
methods must be used to restrict the flow while placing the sealing
material. In such cases, the casing must be perforated opposite the area
to be sealed and the sealing material forced out under pressure into the
surrounding formation.
5. In destroying gravel-packed wells, the casing shall be perforated or
otherwise punctured opposite the area to be sealed. The sealing material
shall then be placed within the casing, completely filling the portion
adjacent to the area to be sealed and then forced out under pressure into
the gravel envelope.
6. When pressure is applied to force sealing material into the annular space,
the pressure shall be maintained for a length of time sufficient for the
cementing mixture to set.
7. To assure that the well is filled and there has been no jamming or
"bridging" of the material, verification shall be made that the volume of
material placed in the well installation at least equals the volume of the
empty hole.
D. Materials. Requirements for sealing and fill materials are as follows:
1. Impervious Sealing Materials. No material is completely impervious.
However, sealing materials shall have such low permeability that the
volume of water passing through them is of small consequence.
Suitable impervious materials include neat cement, sand-cement grout,
concrete, and bentonite clay, all of which are described in Section 9,
Subsection D, "Sealing Material" of these standards; and well-
182
proportioned mixes of silts, sands, and clays (or cement), and native soils
that have a coefficient of permeability of less than 10 feet per year.Note
24 Used drilling muds are not acceptable.
2. Filler Material. Many materials are suitable for use as a filler in
destroying wells. These include clay, silt, sand, gravel, crushed stone,
native soils, mixtures of the aforementioned types, and those described
in the preceding paragraph. Material containing organic matter shall not
be used.
E. Additional Requirements for Wells in Urban Areas.
In incorporated areas or unincorporated areas developed for multiple habitation,
to make further use of the well site, the following additional requirements must
be met (see Figure 9C):
1. A hole shall be excavated around the well casing to a depth of 5 feet
below the ground surface and the well casing removed to the bottom of
the excavation.
2. The sealing material used for the upper portion of the well shall be
allowed to spill over into the excavation to form a cap.
3. After the well has been properly filled, including sufficient time for
sealing material in the excavation to set, the excavation shall be filled
with native soil.
F. Temporary Cover. During periods when no work is being done on the well, such
as overnight or while waiting for sealing material to set, the well and
surrounding excavation, if any, shall be covered. The cover shall be sufficiently
strong and well enough anchored to prevent the introduction of foreign material
into the well and to protect the public from a potentially hazardous situation.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-309-2018
Submitted by: Diana Figueroa
Submitting Department: City Administration
Meeting Date: September 18, 2018
SUBJECT
Negotiations with the Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County for the Provision of Fire Protection, Paramedic
and Incidental Services
Recommendation:
A. Find that authorizing negotiations with the Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County is exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is an administrative action that will not result in direct or
indirect physical changes in the environment and, therefore, does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA
Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Authorize the City Administrator to initiate exploratory negotiations with the Fire Protection District of Los Angeles
County ("LA County Fire") to ascertain service scope and costs associated with the provision of fire protection,
paramedic, and incidental services for the City of Vernon.
Backgroud:
The City periodically reviews its fire protection and related services to ensure that community needs are effectively met,
that department staffing is appropriate, and that the City is utilizing the most cost effective option for service delivery. In
June 2012, the City of Vernon requested a proposal for the provision of Fire Protection, Paramedic, and Incidental
Services from LA County Fire. Accordingly, a feasibility study was prepared by LA County Fire to outline the
recommendations for proposed staffing in the City, and to provide preliminary findings regarding the benefits to such an
arrangement, the evaluation of any increased risk exposures and costs, and the evaluation of the City's financial solvency
(Attachment 1). The study/proposal from LA County Fire was evaluated by City leaders and, ultimately, the City opted
to retain its own Fire Department.
Since the initial feasibility study was completed in September of 2013, the City has continued to focus on streamlining
costs, analyzing new revenue streams, increasing efficiencies Citywide, and is committed to securing the City's long-term
future. Each department has been instructed to focus upon cost containment and resource optimization. Because of the
fact that Fire Department expenditures, year-over-year, make up a large percentage of the City's general fund budget,
the costs for such services remain under scrutiny by the general public and City staff responsible for ensuring fiscal
responsibility. It is the duty of City leadership to ascertain its most viable options for serving the residents and
businesses of Vernon in the most cost effective, efficient manner possible.
Discussion
City management staff have pursued an analysis of Fire Department operations and fiscal landscape in recent months. A
Vernon Fire Department Standards of Cover assessment was conducted by Matrix Consulting Group (“Matrix”)
wherein a multitude of factors in the department were identified and analyzed (Attachment 2). The study was
comprehensive and accounted for the large industrial composition of the City, the Class 1 Fire Department rating,
minimum staffing levels, call volume, effective response, city size, number of fire stations and equipment, etc. In sum, the191
data compiled in the final report equated to very specific recommendations from the consulting firm. According to
Matrix, strategic improvement opportunities exist in the areas of minimum staffing levels and station numbers/locations.
Matrix has recommended a reduction in staffing levels for each shift from 21 personnel to 17 personnel and has
recommended the closure of Station 78, with the relocation of the rescue ambulance. The implementation of each of
these recommendations would result in significant savings for the City.
The information obtained through the Matrix study provides a valuable tool with which staff may navigate and evaluate
options as it relates to the City’s long-term objectives and best interests. The City is not unique in its pursuit for overall
cost savings, as financial obligations related to Other Post Employment Benefits (“OPEB”) and pensions present
monumental challenges on the horizon for all municipalities. A trend that is becoming more widespread is that in which
cities are opting to establish contracts with county agencies for the provision of fire protection, paramedic, and incidental
services due to the savings they are able to recognize.
Consistent with the prior feasibility review in 2012, and as a counterpart to the Matrix study results, City staff is now
recommending an updated comparison of costs and services available through LA Country Fire. For context, LA
County currently maintains a contractual agreement with the City of Commerce. The City of Commerce, although not
identical to Vernon, has many characteristics in common with the City. Based upon current figures, it is estimated that
the City of Commerce will pay approximately $11.0 million in fiscal year 2018/2019 for services rendered by LA
County Fire versus the City of Vernon which is estimating that this year’s fiscal year expenditures for the Fire
Department will be approximately $19.2 million.
In an effort to uphold good governance practices, maintain transparency and fiscal accountability, and exhaust all due
diligence, the City Administrator is seeking City Council’s authorization to enter into negotiations with LA County Fire
to determine the cost for services rendered in the City of Vernon. At the time of their last feasibility study, the estimated
cost of service deliverables was $11.9 million. It is the City Administrator’s recommendation that an updated cost
assessment of services be acquired in order to properly evaluate all options for the City as they pertain to Fire
Protection, Paramedic, and Incidental Services.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated to the authorization of negotiations with LA County Fire.

1 Introduction and Executive Summary
In early 2018, the Matrix Consulting Group began a project to create a Community Risk
Assessment and Standard of Cover document for the City of Vernon. This report includes
the project teams’ research and analysis of the department and community that includes
risk assessment, staffing, response capabilities, and deployment analysis.
1. Study Scope of Work
The periodic review of fire protection services should occur on a regular basis to ensure
appropriate availability of resources, operation readiness, and management practices are
in place. The focus of this study is a review of the operations of the Fire Department and
its operational needs. As a result, the scope of this project was comprehensive and
included:
• Community Risk Assessment;
• Response time analysis;
• Resource locations;
• Response network;
• Staffing and manpower.
This assessment is intended to provide an analysis of the fire protection system and
identify areas the department can become more effective and efficient in the response to
calls for service for fire and emergency medical needs.
2. Methodology Used in the Study
To understand and evaluate fire protection issues facing Vernon, the project team
undertook an assessment of Department’s operations. The principal approaches utilized
by the project team in this study included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Internal Interviews – members of the project team individually interviewed
executive, management, and supervisory staff of the City of Vernon and the Fire
Chief.
• Data Collection – the project team collected a wide variety of external and internal
data documenting the structure, operations and organization, including:
– Department staffing and scheduling
234
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 2
– Documentation reflecting operations management
– Numerous output data reflecting services provided
– Various other performance information
This data was summarized in a ‘descriptive profile’ of the Department, which was
reviewed by the City of Vernon staff to ensure we had a factual foundation for the
study. This approach ensured that the project team had an appropriate
understanding of the Department.
Data was collected over the past several months and presented in interim deliverab les.
Throughout this process, the project team reviewed facts, findings, and conclusions
through these interim deliverables with the Fire Department.
3. Summary of Recommendations
Throughout this report the project team provides evaluation and analysis o f the staffing,
organization, and services provided by the Vernon Fire Department. The table below
provides a summary list of all the recommendations appearing at the end of this report.
OPERATIONS
Reduce the minimum staffing of each shift from 21 personnel to 17 personnel.
Establish call processing time benchmark performance objectives of 64 seconds of the emergency calls
for service 90% of the time
Establish turnout time benchmark performance objectives of 60 seconds for EMS responses and 80
seconds for fire and special operations responses 90% of the time.
Establish travel time baseline performance objectives for the first arriving unit of 5 minutes 12 seconds
and baseline performance objectives of 10 minutes 24 seconds for a first alarm as signment 90% of the
time.
Develop a mechanism to monitor and report the performance against the established benchmark and
baseline objectives at least annually.
Develop a mechanism to annually update the Community Risk Assessment and Standard of Cover
document.

2 Organization and Area Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the governance, organization and general
characteristics of the City of Vernon and the Vernon Fire Department.
1. Area Characteristics
Vernon is located about 5 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and encompasses 5
square miles. The population is 112 according to the 2010 census or 22 people per square
mile. It was incorporated in 1905 in an effort to promote industrial development along the
railroads in the area. The industrial era began in 1919 with two stockyards and the meat
packing industry. Through the years a variety of indust ries have been located in Vernon
including Alcoa, Studebaker, and Vernon Kilns. Today, there are approximately 1,800
businesses with the main industries including food service manufacturing, metalworking,
and the manufacture of glass and plastic equipment employing about 55,000 people.
Vernon is governed by a five-member City Council. Each member of the council is elected
to a five-year term with elections for one member held each year during the April municipal
elections. The City Administrator oversees daily operations that includes pu blic relations
and finance. Vernon also owns its own distribution systems for water, electric, natural gas
and fiber optic.
Initially fire protection services to the City was provided by local company fire brigades,
land owners, and the Los Angeles City Fire Department. Other cities in the area such as
Maywood and Huntington Park had organized fire departments and provided some
support. In the mid to late 1920’s the Vernon Fire Department was organized by
ordinance. The Fire Department began operations from a single station expanding to the
4 stations used today.
2. Climate
The climate for the area is a Mediterranean style climate. The average high is 75 degrees
and the average low is 55 degrees. Rainfall in the area averages 15 inches with January,
February, and March recorded as the wettest months and June, July, and August being
the driest. The area is also subject the El Niño and La Niño conditions creating wetter and
drier conditions respectively.
236
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 4
3. Topography
Covering an area of 5 square miles the area is relatively flat. Outside the City limits the
San Gabriel Mountains are to the north and considered a recreational area. The Los
Angeles River transverses the northeast section of the City and is a primary drainage
channel for the region. It is concrete lined allowing for water to move freely.
4. Financial Resources
The Fire Department is supported primarily through the general fund of the City. This fund
has a variety of revenue sources with the larger revenue amounts coming from property
taxes, utility users tax, sales tax, business licenses, and franchise fees. General
administrative services, grant proceeds, in-lieu taxes add to the revenues as well.
In addition to the General Fund, the Fire Department generates revenue through permit
fees, inspection fees and other reimbursements. The table below outlines the revenue
collected for the past three years and the final approved budget for the current fiscal year.
Vernon Fire Department Revenue
2015 Actual 2016 Actual 2017 Actual 2018 Budget
Fire Permit Fees $45,429 $63,240 $55,361 $60,000

Plan Check Fees $45,075 $46,216 $42,567 $40,000
Copies and Publications $58 $53 $77 $250
Miscellaneous Revenues $7,661 $59,878 $41,115 $7,000
Strike Team Overtime Reimbursement $76,050 $262,621 $124,793 $150,000
EMS Transport Fees $119,131 $173,397 $151,892 $135,000
Grant Revenues $260,494 $303,285 $1,062,239 $95,000
Total Revenue $828,744 $1,335,988 $1,777,021 $878,950
It is important to note that there has been a significant decline in grant revenues over the
4-year period. This is due to the fact that the Los Angeles County Area has diverted
significant amounts of Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) and State Homeland
Security Program (SHSP) funding to the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable
237
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 5
Communications System (LA RICS) initiative. The funding diversions to LA RICS will
continue until grant year 2019. Additionally, grants such as Staffing for Adequate Fire &
Emergency Response (SAFER) are being awarded to fire departments that have seen a
reduction in staffing due to budget shortfalls. Despite the supply of funds being limited,
the City and Fire Department should work together to identify and apply for grant funds
to help offset rising operating costs.
The following table illustrates the operating expenditures and capital investments for the
Fire Department.

The post-employment benefits are not necessarily operating costs but are shown here to
identify unfunded benefits that do have an impact on the cost of fire protection in the City.
It is expected that the City’s financial obligation for OPEB liability will increase slightly
over the next several years. For example, the Fire Department Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued Liability Increased from $14.95 million to $15.54 million from FY 2017 – FY 2018.
The City’s costs relative to retirement are also anticipated to rise year over year. For
example, in FY 2018, the City calculated that the retirement obligation for the Fire
Department was approximately $4.62 million. This figure is projected to steadily increase
239
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 7
over the course of the next 10 years to an amount of approximately $10.20 million in FY
2028.

For 2018 the time and full-time equivalent is through March 31 or the first nine months of
the fiscal year. Based on the firefighter’s schedule, there is an average of 2,928 hours
worked for the year. For 2015 dividing the hours for the injury, 4,248, by the hours
available, 2,928, the full-time equivalent of 1.46 is shown.

3 Fire Department Services
This chapter provides an overview of the fire protection system including organization of
the department, resources available to the department, and services provided by the
department.
1. Organization of the Fire Department
In the mid to late 1920’s the Vernon Fire Department was organized by ordinance. The
VFD is an all hazard response agency, responding to fires, emergency medical
emergencies, hazardous materials incidents, natural and man -made disasters, mutual aid
assistance to neighboring departments and related emergencies in an effort to reduce life
and property loss. The Department provides support to the regional specialized rescue
and hazardous material team. In addition, Fire Rescue inspects businesses and
properties to ensure compliance with the adopted fire code and City Ordinances, performs
origin and cause fire investigations, provides plan review, assists with code enforcement,
and conducts public education programs.

In further support of the mission, the VFD provides fire prevention services to the City
through inspections and public education. There is one full time personnel assigned to
Fire Prevention that performs regular inspection services for the City. There is also a Sr.
Administrative Assistant that assist the Fire Prevention Services with counter duties and
the general programming of day-to-day operations.
4. Automatic and Mutual Aid Resources
Vernon participates in mutual aid and automatic aid programs within the Los Angeles
area. Through these agreements, additional resources can be accessed when assistance
is needed in the City. Although mutual aid is not always guaranteed, the combined mutual
aid and automatic aid agreements in place provide additional coverage in the City in the
event of a major incident. Automatic Aid agreements allow resources from nearby stations
to simultaneously respond with Vernon Fire units to calls in the City. The following types
of mutual and automatic aid are available to Vernon:
• Mutual Aid Unified Response via Verdugo Fire Communications (VFCC ): As a
contract city with Verdugo Fire Communications, the response matrix provid es
each member with resources from other VFCC member departments.
• Automatic Aid with LA County (LaCoFD): Vernon has an automatic aid agreement
with LaCoFD which provides one (1) staffed truck company, one (1) staffed engine
company and one (1) staffed paramedic squad. The IV automatic aid agreement
boundaries are limited to the Maywood/Huntington Park areas.
• Automatic Aid with Los Angeles City Fire Department: The automatic aid
agreement is for Alameda Corridor responses only.
• Mutual Aid with Area E: Vernon is within Area E. Vernon can request available
resources from the Cities of Compton, Downey, Santa Fe Springs and La Habra
Heights Volunteer Fire Department.

In 2006 the Vernon Fire Department combined with Compton, Montebello, Santa Fe
Springs, and Downey to create an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Regional Task
Force. This established a team that could be self -sufficient for about 24 hours prior to
other regional or national assets becoming available. It also provides additional personnel
that are generally needed in technical rescue type incidents. A similar arrangement has
been made for hazardous materials incidents that also includes the City of Long Beach.

5. Insurance Services Office
The Insurance Services Office (ISO) surveys communities across the country to assign a
public protection classification (PPC) grade. This grade is used as a tool to establish
property insurance rates for an area. While this survey should not be used as a
standalone plan for providing fire suppression services it does have some usefu l
information for the fire protection system in general.
In December 2014 the ISO performed a survey for the City of Vernon and City recently
underwent an ISO recertification review. The survey reviews communications, water
supply, and the Fire Rescue Division. The results of the ISO survey graded the Vernon
Fire Department as a Class 1 on a scale of 1 – 10 with 1 being the best. The table below
outline the scores for each of these components.

4 Community Risk Assessment
Risk is defined as the possibility of loss or injury or other unwelcome adverse
circumstance or event. As a community, we try to reduce the effects of the unwanted
events through mitigation efforts prior to an emergency and using services such as police
departments, public works, health departments and fire departments.
1. Risk Factors and Categories
Determining the fire and non-fire risks in a community provides the foundation to develop
resource deployment strategies to reduce the effects of the unwanted events or
circumstances. There are three primary components used in the risk assessment.
• Identification – what are the hazards faced by the community.
• Probability – the likelihood that an unwanted event will occur within a given period
of time. Events that occur daily is highly probable while those that occur annually
are less likely.
• Consequence – the measure of disparate outcome that can be defined by loss of
life, loss of property and loss of historic values.
• Occupancy Risk – an assessment of the built upon area and the types of structures
in the area, their occupancies, and any special risks that may be present.
The graph above illustrates the correlation between the probability of occurrence and
consequences of that occurrence. The result of this graph then allows for the identification

of the hazard class. The four hazard classes are defin ed as follows:
(1) Maximum Risk
An area classified as maximum risk should be of substantial size and contain properties
presenting a high risk of life loss, loss of economic value to the community, or large loss
damage to property if destroyed. Such areas would ordinarily be the highest fire flow
areas and have a high probability of events. The structures within them may lack built in
fire protection features and may contain occupants not capable of self -preservation.
Maximum risk areas include the following:
• Major shopping and business centers, large department stores, shopping malls,
multi-story hotels, and office properties.
• Concentrations of high risk industrial and commercial properties including
hazardous materials facilities.
• Concentrations of theaters, cinemas, clubs, dance halls, bars and other areas with
potential for large life loss.
• Occupancies with occupants that may require assistance such as non-ambulatory
or restrained persons (i.e., nursing homes and hospitals).
• Any occupancy over 10,000 square feet without built-in fire protection.
• Emergency medical, rescue, special operations incidents requiring multiple
alarms.
Maximum risks frequently impact a fire agency's needs for multiple alarm capability and
an adequate assessment of its ability to concentrate resources. Failure to identify these
risks often results in the inability to effectively control these incidents.
(2) High Risk
A high-risk area is defined as one that contains properties or hazards presenting a
substantial risk of life loss, a severe financial impact on the community, or unusual
potential damage to property if there is a fire and has a low probability of events.
Examples of such areas include the following:
• Strip shopping centers and business centers not exceeding two stories.
• Concentrated areas of revenue generating properties or high job loss to the
community if business is lost.
251
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 19
• Infrastructure facilities such as schools, city, state, and federal facilities.
• Properties deemed to be of historical value to the community.
• Any building with life safety and fire load beyond the reach of pre-connected hose
lines (200 feet).
• Concentrated areas of single or two story multi-family dwellings.
• Any occupancy over 10,000 square feet with built -in fire protection not
classified as a maximum risk.
• Emergency medical, rescue, special operations incidents requiring a first alarm.
(3) Moderate/Typical Risk
An area is classified as a moderate fire risk when it contains built up areas of average
size and the risk of life loss or damage to property if there is a fire in a single occupancy
is usually limited to the occupants. In certain areas such as small apartment complexes,
the risk of death or injury may be relatively high. Concentrations of property may vary,
but generally will be of limited extent. Probability of f ire events are high along with
frequent, routine non-fire risks resulting in a service demand other than fire. Examples of
moderate risk areas include the following:
• Developments of generally detached single family housing.
• Apartments with pre-connected hose line access (200 feet).
• Industrial or commercial buildings under 5,000 square feet without built in fire
protection.
• Emergency medical, rescue, special operations incidents requiring three units or
less.
These risks are often the greatest factor in the distribution of fire stations to ensure fair
and equitable access to initial attack capability.

2. Wildland Fires
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection identify the wildland fire threat
areas and assigns a fire hazard severity to the various areas. The City is not within a
hazard zone as identified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
However, there are areas around the City and in the region that are in the high hazard
zones that may affect the City in terms of mutual aid response, increased traffic patterns,
or other non-fire related activities. The map below outlines the local responsibility areas
that are relatively close to the City of Vernon that could impact the City.
253
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 21
3. Flood Zones
The City is not located in a FEMA designated flood zone, and therefore, does not have to
abide by any flood mitigation requirements. However, the LA River basin runs through the
northeast sector of the City. This concrete lined basin provides a pathway for storm water
run-off from heavy rains and thunderstorms. It has been reported the water flow can reach
speeds of 45 mph through this spillway. Based on calculations from FEMA, the probability
of flooding is 0.2% over the course of one year for the area shown.
4. Earthquakes
254
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 22
There are not any fault lines directly involving the City. An earthquake event that could
impact Vernon would trigger the deployment of agencies with whom the City has
contracted for mutual aid resources; and they would work in tandem with available City
resources. Because of its location in Southern California, Vernon is in a region that has a
significant threat of earthquakes. There are several fault zones in the area that include
the San Andreas Fault, the Newport-Inglewood Fault, the San Jacinto Fault, and the
Whittier-Elsinore Fault. A significant earthquake along any one of these faults could cause
significant damage, casualties, and other threats to life and property. These effects could
be aggravated by aftershocks along with fires, landslides and da m failures. A major
earthquake could exceed the response capability of not only the City but also the County
and State. Earthquakes are not predictable however; the Southern California Earthquake
Center indicates the probability of an earthquake of magnitude 7 or larger in the region
before 2024 is 80% to 90%. The map below outlines the faults in the region.
6. Transportation Hazards
255
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 23
(1) Railroads
There is a significant presence of railroads in the City. This includes a small rail yard in
the middle of the City that serves the industry in the area. Use of rail for the transportation
of hazardous chemicals is very common in the industrial setting along other raw materials
used in the manufacturing process. Rail companies, like other commercial transportation
companies, are regulated and have controls in place to mitigate risks associated with the
transportation of hazardous materials. The map below displays the rail lines in the City.
There are rail yards in the City with others just outside the City Limits.
(2) Roadway Network
256
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 24
There are no interstate expressway systems that are directly within the City. However,
Interstate 5 and the Santa Monica Freeway are nearby. Within the mutual aid framework,
responses to the freeway system may be required to assist other departments. Any
hazardous material incidents on the freeways may influence the City through increased
traffic or an actual release. There is a network of roadways in the City that serve a high
volume of truck traffic through the area. The map below outlines the major roadways and
secondary roadways within the City and in the adjacent areas.
257
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 25
7. Physical Hazards
With a very small population it makes the City of Vernon unique in that the entire City is
virtually an industrial area. This results in a small number of places of assembly, day care
center, and educational facilities. However, it increases the number and types of industrial
and storage facilities in the area. Businesses operating in the City are highly regulated
and have in place their own internal controls to mitigate hazards to their employees, and
businesses and residents in the surrounding areas. Additionally, Vernon’s Health
Department enforces standards that address hazardous conditions. A specific list of
physical target hazards was developed for the City and the table below displays the target
hazard and the number of facilities in the City.
Physical Target Hazards
Type of Hazard Number of
Facilities
Aerosol Products greater than 500 lbs. 256
Combustible Dust Producing Operations. 19
Combustible Fibers greater than 100 cubic feet. 8
Flammable and Combustible Liquids. 49
Hazardous Materials Storage Facilities. 74
High Piled Storage greater than 500 square feet. 146

Miscellaneous Combustibles Storage greater than 2,500 cubic feet. 22
Repair Garages and Motor Fuel Dispensing. 24
Spraying and Dipping Operations. 18
Waste Handling Operations. 7
Should a catastrophic event occur, the City would call upon its automatic and mutual aid
partners to assist in the mitigation of the incident. Mutual aid responses are not always
guaranteed; however, the City has armed itself with multiple automatic and mutual aid
agreements to adequately prepare itself in the event of a major situation impacting
Vernon. The maps on the following pages highlight the locations of these facilities in the
City.

5 Fire Protection System Dynamics
In making decisions about a fire protection system, it is important to understand the
science behind the location of resources, the deployment strategies of those resources,
and the other parts necessary to form an effective fire protection system.
For many years the Insurance Services Office (ISO) set a standard through their efforts
with the Public Protection Classification system. This system is designed to limit the
exposure of insurers to large losses and catastrophic events. There are now three major
sources of information to which responders, local policymakers, and the public can refer
when determining the most appropriate response objectives for their community:
The Insurance Services Office (ISO) provides basic information regarding
distances between fire stations. However, this “objective” does little to recognize
the unique nature of every community’s road network, population, calls for service,
call density, etc. The scoring is based on the distances between fire stations, fire
department resources, emergency communication systems, water supply and fire
prevention activities. The better each of these areas score, the higher the grade.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) promulgated a document entitled:
“NFPA 1710: Objective for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public
by Career Fire Departments.” This document (NFPA 1710) was published in 2001
and generated a great deal of dialogue and debate – which is still ongoing.
The Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) in its “Objectives of
Coverage” manual places the responsibility for identifying “appropriate ” response
objectives on the locality. These objectives should be developed following a
comprehensive exercise in which the risks and hazards in the community are
compared to the likelihood of their occurrence.
Nationally, a great deal of effort and research has been put into developing performance
objectives for the delivery of fire and emergency medical services. This effort is critical
for local governments making decisions about deployment and location of emergency
287
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 55
resources. The objectives promoted for Fire/Rescue and EMS providers have their basis
derived from research that has been conducted in these two critical issues:
• What is the key point in a fire’s “life” for gaining control of the blaze while minimizing
the impact on the structure of origin and on those structures around it?
• What is the impact of the passage of time on survivability for victims of cardiac
arrest?
1. Fire Protection Services
The chart that follows, shows a typical “flashover” curve for interior structure fires. T he
point in time represented by the occurrence of “flashover” is critical because it defines
when all of the contents of a room become involved in the fire. This is also the point at
which a fire typically shifts from “room and contents” to a “structure” fire – involving a
wider area of the building and posing a potential risk to the structures surrounding the
original location of the fire.
Note that this illustration depicts a fire from the moment of inception – not from the
moment that a fire is detected or reported. This demonstrates the importance of early
detection and fast reporting as well as rapid dispatch of responding units. This also shows
the critical need for a rapid (and sufficiently staffed) initial response – by quickly initiating
the attack on a fire, “flashover” can be averted. The points below describe the major
changes that occur at a fire when “flashover” occurs:
288
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 56
• It is the end of time for effective search and rescue in a room involved in the fire.
It means the likely death of any person trapped in the room – either civilian or
firefighter.
• After this point in a fire is reached, portable extinguishers can no longer have a
successful impact on controlling the blaze. Only larger hand-lines will have enough
water supply to affect a fire after this point.
• The fire has reached the end of the “growth” phase and has entered the fully
developed phase. During this phase, every combustible object is subject to the
full impact of the fire.
• This also signals the changeover from “contents” to “structure” fire. This is also
the beginning of collapse danger for the structure. Structural collapse begins to
become a major risk at this point and reaches the highest point during the decay
stage of the fire (after the fire has been extinguished).
It should be noted that not every fire will reach flashover – and that not every fire will “wait”
for the 8-minute mark to reach flashover. A quickly responding fire crew can do things to
prevent or delay the occurrence of flashover. These op tions include:
• Application of portable extinguisher or other “fast attack” methodology.
• Venting the room to allow hot gases to escape before they can cause the ignition
of other materials in the room.
• Not venting a room – under some circumstances this will actually stifle a fire and
prevent flashover from occurring.
Each of these techniques requires the rapid response of appropriately trained fire
suppression resources that can safely initiate these actions. In the absence of automatic
fire suppression systems, access to interior fires can again be limited by a safety
requirement related to staffing levels. OSHA and related industry standards require the
presence of at least 2-firefighters on the exterior of a building before entry can be made
to a structure in which the environment has been contaminated by a fire. In the absence
of a threat to life demanding immediate rescue, interior fire suppression operations are
limited to the extent a fire service delivery system can staff, to assuring a mi nimum of 4-
people actively involved in firefighting operations.
2. Emergency Medical Services
The second issue to consider is the delivery of emergency medical services. One of the
primary factors in the design of emergency medical systems is the ability to deliver basic
289
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 57
CPR and defibrillation to victims of cardiac arrest. The graph below, demonstrates the
survivability of cardiac patients as related to time from onset:
This graph illustrates that the chances of survival of cardiac arrest diminish approximately
10% for each minute that passes before the initiation of CPR and/or defibrillation. These
dynamics are the result of extensive studies of the survivability of patients suffering from
cardiac arrest. While the demand for services in EMS is wide ranging, the survival rates
for full-arrests are often utilized as benchmarks for response time standards as they are
more readily evaluated because of the ease in defining patient outcomes (a patient either
survives or does not). This research results in the recommended objective of provision
of basic life support within 4-minutes of notification and the provision of advanced life
support within 8 minutes of notification. Considering the response time continuum, the
response time goal for emergency services is to provide BLS within 6 minutes of the onset
of the incident (including detection, dispatch and travel time) and ALS within 10 minutes.
This is often used as the foundation for a two-tier system where fire resources function
as first responders with additional (ALS) assistance provided by responding ambulance
units and personnel.
Additionally, recent research is beginning to show the impact and efficacy of rapid
deployment of automatic defibrillators to cardiac arrests. This research – conducted in
King County (WA), Houston (TX) and as part of the OPALS study in Ontario, Canada –
shows that the AED can be the largest single contributor to the successful outcome of a
cardiac arrest – particularly when accompanied by early delivery of CPR. It is al so
important to note that these medical research efforts have been focused on a small
fraction of the emergency responses handled by typical EMS systems – non-cardiac
events make up the large majority of EMS and total system responses and this research
does not attempt to address the need for such rapid (and expensive) intervention on these
events.
290
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 58
3. Response Time Goals and Objectives
Response time to an emergency or call for assistance has been broken down into
measurable and non-measurable segments. The response time continuum begins when
the state of normalcy changes to a recognizable emergency. The following chart outlines
the cascade of events that occurs once an emergency starts or is recognized. Those
highlighted points represent hard data or that which is quantitative versus soft data or that
which is subjective and unknown.
Response Time Continuum
State of Normalcy
Discovery of Emergency
Reaction to Emergency
Call Received by PSAP
Call Processing
Response Units Notified
Turnout Time
Units Responding
Travel Time
Units Arriving
Mitigation Begins
Mitigation Completed
State of Normalcy Returns
The highlighted points in the chart above represent three segments that can be used for
evaluation; call processing, turnout time, and travel time. Each of these components
represent a different point in the response time continuum and through their measurement
and evaluation areas for improvement can be identified. Below are the definitions for the
three components:
Call Processing is the defined as beginning when the call taker answers the call
and ends with the dispatching of appropriate emergency services.
Turnout Time is defined as beginning when the emergency service receives the
call and is on the apparatus responding (wheels rolling) to the call.
291
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 59
Travel Time is defined as beginning when the apparatus and personnel begin the
response (wheels rolling) and ends once on location of the emergency (wheels
stopped).
The National Fire Protections Association (NFPA), Center for Publics Safety Excellence
(CPSE), and the Insurance Services Office (ISO) offered reference points for
communities to follow relative to fire service responses, however, only NFPA 1710 offers
any specificity. It is important to note that the performance objectives (in terms of
response times) provided in the NFPA 1710 document are derived from the basic
research previously described. These include the following (all are taken from section
4.1.2.1.1 of NFPA 1710):
One minute four seconds (64 seconds) for the processing of an incoming
emergency phone call, including the completion of the dispatching of fire response
units.
“One minute twenty seconds (80 seconds) for turnout time for fire related
incidents.” This is also called reflex time, reaction time, “out -the-chute” time, etc.
This is the time that elapses between dispatch and when the units are actively
responding.
“One minute (60 seconds) for turnout time for emergency medical incidents.” This
is also called reflex time, reaction time, “out-the-chute” time, etc. This is the time
that elapses between dispatch and when the units are actively responding.
“Four minutes (240 seconds) or less for the arrival of the first arriving engine
company at a fire suppression incident and / or 8 minutes (480 seconds) or less
for the deployment of a full first-alarm assignment at a fire suppression incident.”
“Four minutes (240 seconds) or less for the arrival of a unit with first responder or
higher-level capability at an emergency medical incident.”
“Eight minutes (480 seconds) or less for the arrival of an advanced life support unit
at an emergency medical incident, where this service is provided by the fire
department.”
In section 4.1.2.1.2, NFPA 1710 goes on to state: “The fire department shall
establish a performance objective of not less than 90 percent for the achievement
of each response time objective specified in 4.1.2.1.1”
It is important to note the “and / or” found in the initial response objective statement. This
indicates that a system would meet the intent of the standard if it can reasonably plan to
deliver either the single unit, 4-minute travel time standard, the first alarm, 8-minute travel
292
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 60
time standard, or both. It should also be noted that it is implied that the total time allotted
is additive with each successive event. For example, a system which arrived on -scene
in 6-minutes or less 90% of the time (from time of dispatch) would be in compliance –
even if the turnout time was longer than a minute (though that should clearly be improved).
It is also critical to note that these time objectives apply to emergency calls for service –
there is nothing in NFPA 1710 (nor in any other objective) that suggests that communities
cannot establish a differential response to calls for service determined to be non -
emergency in nature.
Previously the Center for Public Safety Excellence had defined benchmark and baseline
response times for each of the three components. They have since determined they are
not a standard making organization and decided to leave the establishment of response
time standards to others. However, their body of work is significant and has been used
by numerous communities across the country and is included here.
The Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) uses a population and density
component to determine what the performance of the fire department should be to meet
best practices and does not require a set number of personnel per piece of apparatus,
but rather that an effective response force can be delivered to an emergency scene in a
timely manner.
293
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 61
The table below defines the population demographics as it relates to the delivery of
emergency services.
Demographic Risk Categories
Risk Category Definition
Urban An area with a population density greater than
1,000 people per square mile.
Suburban Area An area with a population density of 500 - 1,000
people per square mile.
Rural Area An area with a population density of less than
500 people per square mile.
The expression of response time has changed. In years past the measurement was
expressed as an average of time. This essentially represents how the system or
department is performing 50% of the time and is not a true reflection of how a department
is performing. With the research that has been performed in developing performance
standards and practices the use of fractal time has become the best practice in the
measurement and presentation of response time components. Fractal response time
measures how often (as a percent of calls) a department can perform within each
response time component. The NFPA and CPSE use the 90th percentile as the standard
to meet for benchmark and baseline crite ria.
The definitions for the criteria of each service area are defined in the table below. CPSE
also gives a community a range of acceptable performance standards from “Baseline”,
minimally accepted performance to “Benchmark”, fully compliant with best p ractices.
CPSE had previously set the following performance standards for urban, suburban and
rural areas:
Service Area / Population Density Response Travel Time Standards

4. Effective Response Force
There are several tasks, which must occur simultaneously to adequately combat different
types of fires. The absence of adequate personnel to perform these tasks requires each
task to be prioritized and completed in chronological order. These fire ground tasks
include command, scene safety, search and rescue, water supply, fire attack, pump
operations, ventilation, back up, and rapid intervention.
An initial full alarm assignment should be able to provide personnel to accomplish the
following tasks:
Establish incident command outside of the hazard area. This will allow coordination
and direction of the incoming emergency response personnel and apparatus. A
minimum of one person should be dedicated to this task.
Establish an uninterrupted water supply of at least 400 gallons per minute for 30
minutes. Once established the supply line can be maintained by the pump operator
to ensure uninterrupted water supply. A minimum of one person is assigned to this
task that can then assume support role.
Establish an effective water flow rate of 300 gallons per minute. This will be
supplied to a minimum of two hand lines each operating at a minimum flow of 100
gallons per minute. Each hand line must have two individuals assigned with one
serving as the attack line and the other as a back-up line.
Provision of one support person to handle the hydrant hookup, utility control,
forcible entry, and assist in deploying fire hose lines.
Establish a search and rescue team. Each team will consist of a minimum of two.
Establish a ventilation team. Each team will consist of a minimum of two personnel.
Establish an initial rapid intervention team (RIT). Each RIT team shall consist of a
minimum of two properly trained and equipped personnel.
Critical tasking will vary depending on the size and nature of the incident. The Center for
Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) provides a suggestive list of tasks that need to be
completed at a fire situation based on the risk. A similar list is provided wi thin the NFPA
1710 document. The CPSE analysis, from the 8th edition, is summarized in the table below
showing the minimum required personnel to mitigate the initial emergency response
requirements by occupancy risk.

Occupancy risks in the table above are generally defined as:
Low Risk – Small out-buildings or single car detached garages. These are
generally less than 500 square feet.
Moderate Risk – Single family homes of wood frame construction generally 2,000
square feet in size.
High Risk – Apartment buildings, offices, mercantile and industrial occupancies.
Maximum Risk – Schools, nursing homes hospitals or other high life hazard
occupancies. Explosive plants and high-rise buildings are also included in this
category.
It is interesting to note that the four-person companies discussed in some areas of NFPA
1710 are not maintained in the description of primary tasks to be accomplished on the fire
ground – recognition that the requirements of the response in the field are dynamic and
296
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 64
do not fit neatly into size and shape of any particular response configuration. These
objectives apply to the initial and follow-up response for reported structure fires. The
document does not suggest that this response be mounted for all incidents.
A task analysis for emergency medical calls analyzes three different types of calls or
patient conditions. These three types of calls usually require the most effort on the part of
the response team. Other calls or patient types can generally be handled with two or three
personnel. Many times, especially in trauma calls, there are multiple patients. The table
below outlines the tasks for handling these critical patients and the number of responders
it may require for a successful outcome.

It is incumbent upon the fire department to have a response plan in place to ensure
enough personnel are on scene to accomplish the stated critical tasks in a timely fashion.
Structure fires are very labor-intensive incidents with any number of factors, su ch as
weather, making the task that much more difficult.
Adding to the critical tasks and staffing issues is the OSHA requirement of two in – two
out in 1910.134(g)(4). This regulation states that if entry into an Immediately Dangerous
to Life and Health (IDLH) atmosphere is necessary, two firefighters must enter together
and remain in contact with each other. In addition, there must be two firefighters located
outside the IDLH atmosphere for potential rescue if needed. This is a mandatory
requirement.
The concept of an effective response force carries through for other responses by the fire
department. The tables below outline the critical tasks for an effective response force for
those responses.

For Vernon the typical risks present require an initial response force of between 15 – 22
personnel. There is a robust mutual aid system in the region that also factors into the
development of an effective response force that does not require daily staffin g levels of
22 personnel as neighboring agencies are able to quickly respond to provide personnel
to make up the response force. This provides Vernon with options for staffing that will be
discussed in the next section of the report.

6 Evaluation of Deployment and Performance
This chapter compares and evaluates the deployment and performance of the Fire
Department as it relates to the performance objectives outlined and described in the
previous chapter.
1. Response Time
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) data for 2015, 2016, and 2017 was examined and
evaluated. The data is not without issues such as coding problems, transcription errors,
and equipment failures. The project team uses the following mechanism to address these
issues.
Only qualified data is used to calculate response time and any related components. To
be considered the data must meet the following criteria:
• The incident must have been unique
• The incident must have involved at least one fire department unit being
dispatched to the call.
• Calls that are missing data are not used in the computations for call
processing, turnout time, travel time, or call duration.
• Any call with usually long times or times sorted incorrectly (arrived
before dispatch time) were removed.
• Non-emergency responses are removed, only emergency responses
are included.
After filtering the data using the methodology outlined above, the remaining incidents
represent the response time for calls for service handled by the Fire Department. The
table below outlines the filtering process in terms of records used in the response time
calculations.

Matrix Consulting Group Page 68
Within the discussion of response time there are two terms used that must be defined.
Both benchmark and baseline provide a point in which measurement can be made. The
benchmark is the point that is the goal or industry best practice. The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) standards are generally regarded as industry best
practice. Baseline is generally based on the initial observations or otherwise what is
acceptable to the community. The Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) had
previously established baseline times but has since determined they are not a standard
making organization and decided to leave the establishment of response time standards
to others. However, their body of work is significant and has been used by numerous
communities across the country and is included here. Their baseline times are calculated
as 70% of the benchmark times.
2. Call Processing
The public safety answering point (PSAP) is within the Vernon Police Department and
handles dispatching services for police, emergency medical, and fire services. A backup
dispatch center is located in another sector of the City. NFPA 1221 Standard for the
Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems
establishes the call processing benchmarks as outlined in the table below.
NFPA 1221 Time Requirements
Component Target Performance
Calls Answered Within 15 seconds 95%
Within 40 seconds 99%
Call Processing Within 64 seconds 90%
Within 106 seconds 95%
Call Processing for:
Within 90 seconds 90% * EMD
* Language Translation
* TTY/TDD Device Services
* Hazardous Materials
Within 120 seconds 99% * Technical Rescue
* Text Message
* Unable to Determine Location
Additionally, NFPA 1710: Objective for the Organization and Deployment of Fire
Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the
Public by Career Fire Departments in section 4.1.2.1.1 provides a benchmark call
processing time: One minute four seconds (64 seconds) for the processing of an incoming
emergency phone call, including the completion of the dispatching of fire response units.
The table below illustrates the performance of the dispatch center for the City of Vernon.

The times are shown in two formats, the average and the 90 th fractal time. The average
response time is an average of the call processing time for the calls evaluated. The
benchmark time shown is a measurement using a 90% fractal time and represents the
goal or industry best practice. For example, the turnout time benchmark is 60 seconds at
90% of the time for emergency medical calls and the City of Vernon has a turnout time of
1:55 90% of the time in 2017. The column marked as variance represents the difference
between the benchmark and the actual performance. For example, in 2017 the
department was 55 seconds over the benchmark of 1 minute .
3. Turnout Time
Turnout time is a measurable time segment that begins when the emergency service
receives the call and is on the apparatus responding (wheels rolling) to the call. NFPA
1710: Objective for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations,
Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire
Departments in section 4.1.2.1.1 provides the following performance objectives for
turnout time:
“One minute twenty seconds (80 seconds) for turnout time for fire and special
operations.”
“One minute (60 seconds) for turnout time for emergency medical services.”
The tables below illustrate the performance of the Vernon Department for turnout time for
emergency medical calls and fire related calls.

The times are shown in two formats, the average and the 90 th fractal time. The average
response time is an average of the turnout time for the calls evaluated. The benchmark
time shown is a measurement using a 90% fractal time and represents the goal or industry
best practice. For example, the turnout time benchmark is 60 seconds at 90% of the time
for emergency medical calls and the City of Vernon has a turnout time of 1:55 90% of the
time in 2017. The column marked as variance represents the difference between the
benchmark and the actual performance. For example, in 2017 the department was 55
seconds over the benchmark of 1 minute for emergency medical calls.
The tables on the following pages illustrate the turnout time for each unit in the Vernon
Fire Department for emergency medical calls and fire related calls.

4. Distribution of Resources
Distribution is the measure of getting initial resources to an emergency to begin mitigation
efforts. This is measured in a variety of ways including percentage of square miles,
percentage of road miles and travel time. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) has used
road miles for many years. With the advent of GIS technology and improved computer
aided dispatch (CAD) systems, the use of actual travel time is another more accurate
measure for the distribution of resources.
Travel time is a measurable time segment that begins when the apparatus and personnel
begin the response (wheels rolling) and ends once on location of the emergency (wheels
stopped). NFPA 1710: Objective for the Organization and Deployment of Fire
Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the
Public by Career Fire Departments in section 4.1.2.1.1 provides the following
performance objectives for travel time of the first arriving unit:
“Four minutes (240 seconds) or less for the arrival of the first ar riving engine
305
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 73
company at a fire suppression incident.”
“Four minutes (240 seconds) or less for the arrival of a unit with first responder or
higher-level capability at an emergency medical incident.”
The performance measures shown above are benchmark tra vel times. These times
represent the industry best practices. The baseline performance measure is generally
defined as the travel time the fire department is currently achieving and is acceptable to
the community. For Vernon, the baseline time of 5:12 is used and is based on the CPSE
model for travel time in an urban demographic.
The table below illustrates the travel time for initial arriving unit of the Vernon Fire
Department.

best practice. For example, the travel time benchmark is 4 minutes at 90% of the time for
calls for service and the City of Vernon has a travel time of 5:16 90% of the time in 2017.
The column marked as variance represents the difference between the benchmark and
the actual performance. For example, in 2017 the department was 1 minute and 16
seconds over the benchmark of 4 minutes. Using the same data for 2017 the department
was 4 seconds over the baseline travel time of 5 :12 minutes.
There is an extensive use of mutual and automatic aid in the area. The foll owing table

The response times are shown in two formats, the average and the 90th fractal time. The
average time is an average of the time for the calls in each category. The benchmark time
shown is a measurement using a 90% fractal time and represents the goal or industry
best practice. For example, the travel time benchmark is 4 minutes at 90% of the time
and Engine 76 has a travel time of 4:32 90% of the time in 2017. The column marked as

5. Concentration
Concentration is generally described as the ability of the fire department to get the
appropriate number of personnel and resources to the scene of an emergency to
effectively mitigate the incident. There are two parts to this component whic h is an
effective response force and the amount of time to get the resources in place.
(1) First Alarm Assignment Travel Time
The first part to the concentration model is the travel time for the remainder of the first
alarm assignment. The concentration of resources is necessary to ensure the effective
response force arrives in a timely manner. Much like the distribution of resources, the
concentration is dependent on the population density. It is not reasonable or financially
possible for a rural area to have the same concentration of resources that is in an urban
setting.
Travel time is a measurable time segment that begins when the apparatus and personnel
begin the response (wheels rolling) and ends once on location of the emergency (wheels
stopped). NFPA 1710: Objective for the Organization and Deployment of Fire
Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the
Public by Career Fire Departments in section 4.1.2.1.1 provides the following
performance objectives for travel time of the first arriving unit:
“Eight minutes (480 seconds) or less for the deployment of a full first -alarm
assignment at a fire suppression incident.”
The performance measures shown above are benchmark travel times. These times
represent the industry best practices. The baseline performance measure is generally
defined as the travel time the fire department is currently achieving and is acceptable to
the community. Vernon does not have a baseline travel time set for the full first -alarm
assignment. CPSE has previously established a baseline travel time of 10 minutes and
24 seconds for the full first alarm assignment. For purposes of evaluation this travel time
will be used.
(2) Effective Response Force
There are several tasks, which must occur simultaneously to adequately combat different
types of fires. The absence of adequate personnel to perform these tasks requires each
task to be prioritized and completed in chronological order. These fire ground tasks
include command, scene safety, search and rescue, water supply, fire attack, pump
operations, ventilation, back up, and rapid intervention.
309
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 77
An initial full alarm assignment should be able to provide personnel to accomplish the
following tasks:
Establish incident command outside of the hazard area. This will allow coordination
and direction of the incoming emergency response personnel and apparatus. A
minimum of one person should be dedicated to this task.
Establish an uninterrupted water supply of at least 400 gallons per minute for 30
minutes. Once established the supply line can be maintained by the pump operator
to ensure uninterrupted water supply. A minimum of one person is assigned to this
task that can then assume support role.
Establish an effective water flow rate of 300 gallons per minute. This will be
supplied to a minimum of two hand lines each operating at a minimum flow of 100
gallons per minute. Each hand line must have two individuals assigned with one
serving as the attack line and the other as a back-up line.
Provision of one support person to handle the hydrant hookup, utility control,
forcible entry, and assist in deploying fire hose lines.
Establish a search and rescue team. Each team will consist of a minimum of two.
Establish a ventilation team. Each team will consist of a minimum of two personnel.
Establish an initial rapid intervention team (RIT). Each RIT team shall consist of a
minimum of two properly trained and equipped personnel.
(3) Evaluation of the Concentration of Resources
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) data for 2015, 2016, and 2017 was examined and
evaluated for the table below. To be considered for inclusion the following conditions were
required to be met:
The incident must have building fire as the incident type.
All the units dispatched must have an enroute time and an arrival time recorded. It
was assumed if the unit did not arrive on scene that it was cancelled.
To be considered as meeting the concentration both the travel time and a minimum of 21
personnel had to arrive on location. Apparatus staffing was counted based on the
minimum staffing of the apparatus. Cross staffed apparatus was considered as a part of
the response and counted as a tandem unit with the Engine Company in the same station.
For example, US&R 78 and Engine 78 combined did not exceed the staffing for the
310

station.

The automatic aid companies were not included in the CAD data beginning in 2016, which
is the reason for the drop in meeting the concentration component as the project team
was unable to account for their arrival time.
The map below illustrates the concentration of resources with an eight-minute travel time.
This includes resources from Vernon and automatic aid resources.
311

Matrix Consulting Group Page 79
Within the eight-minute travel time Vernon has 41 – 50 personnel in the western and
northeastern portions of the City and 31 – 40 personnel through the central section of
the City well within the 21 personnel measurements. The following map illustrates the
concentration of resources using the baseline travel time of 10 minutes and 24 seconds.

and west city limits.

6. Concurrent Calls and Reliability
The concept of distribution and concentration of resources can be influenced by other
contributing factors including unit hour utilization and concurrent calls for service. Unit
hour utilization is calculated by taking the total hours the unit is committed to an incident
divided by the total available hours. Expressed as a percentage, it identifies the amount
of time the unit is committed but more importantly the amount of time the unit is available.
Within the framework of the 90th percentile performance standards the amount of
available time can have an impact in meeting that standard. If utilization rates are too
high the units are often unavailable for immediate response.

A review of this data indicates the units are not over utilized. Strike team calls were not considered as those calls typical ly
do not utilize on-duty crews and do not influence the unit utilization of the Fire Department in its daily responses.

Concurrent calls for service also play a part in the fire protection system and the delivery
of service. The table below illustrates the concurrent calls for service for 2015 through
2017.

7 Strategic Improvement Opportunities
This chapter provides the project team recommendations for providing appropriate fire
and rescue services for the City of Vernon.
Recommendation: Reduce the minimum staffing of each shift from 21 personnel to
17 personnel.
A review of several performance measurements indicates the reduction of staffing will not
adversely affect the fire protection system in the City of Vernon. Over 76% of the calls in
Vernon are for emergency medical calls, auto accidents, and alarm activations. These
calls are generally dispatched with one engine company. Structure fires in Vernon
account for 1.9% of the call volume.
Call concurrence and unit utilization are other performance measures to identify the
resources needs of a community. In Vernon, over 80% of the time the calls for service
are single calls with about 15% of the time there are two concurrent calls. The unit hour
utilization identifies the amount of time response units are committed to incidents. The
resources in Vernon are committed to incidents in a range of 2% to 6% of the time.
Uncommitted time is consistently over 95% for all units. This indicates these units are
generally available when a call for service occurs.
The extensive use of automatic mutual aid and the availability of mutual aid companies
provides additional resources to the City when needed. Over the past three years the City
has provided more assistance to its neighbors than it has received.
This should be accomplished by closing Station 78 and relocating the rescue ambulance.
This staffing and deployment will result in having 2 engine companies (76 and 79) staffed
with 3 personnel, one engine company (77) staffed with 4 personnel, the l adder company
staffed with 4 personnel, rescue staffed with 2 personnel and a Battalion Chief daily.
There may be several other cost savings resulting from the closure of Station 78. These
depend on the City’s utilization plans for the building. The first is cost avoidance of up to
$655,700 in planed capital improvements to the station and potential costs of up to
$190,353 in annual operating costs for the station may be avoided.
Any further reductions in personnel may impact service delivery in the City. The current
use of shift personnel to conduct business fire and life safety inspections has eliminated
the need for fire prevention personnel, but requires adequate staffing to ensure there is
317
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 85
time to conduct these inspections during the work day. The Fire Department also serves
as the OSHA required confined space rescue component for several businesses in the
City. These businesses file the appropriate OSHA required permit to have the Fire
Department serve as the team. Fire personnel also provide other services such as fully
restoring sprinkler systems to service when heads are damaged, which saves the
businesses from having to hire a private contractor.
If further reductions are required in the Fire Department the City could reduce staffing to
16 personnel daily by staffing engine 77 with 3 personnel daily. This engine also cross
staffs the hazardous materials unit. This would impact the ability of the Fire Department
to staff the hazardous materials unit and respond to State calls as the State requir es 4
personnel on a hazardous materials response.
The City could also reduce by eliminating the to practice of providing EMS transport
services in the City and contracting with a private EMS firm to provide the service. Not
staffing the EMS transport unit would result in a daily staffing of 15 personnel. This may
result in longer scene times as the low call volume in Vernon would not necessitate the
need for a private provider to keep an ambulance in the City at all time, resulting in VFD
personnel responding to initiate care and await the arrival of an ambulance.
The closure of Station 78 may open several other issues related to travel time and
concentration of resources. The map below illustrates the benchmark and basel ine travel
time for the City of Vernon.
318
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 86
In terms of the benchmark 4-minute travel time there are some small areas along the
northern City limits that cannot be reached in a 4 minute travel time with the closure of
station 78; however, this area is in the range of the baseline travel time of 5 minutes and
12 seconds.
319
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 87
Using the benchmark travel time of 8 minutes, the map below illustrates the change in the
concentration of resources if Station 78 is closed.
Within the eight-minute benchmark travel time an effective response force of over 21
personnel can be maintained with the closure of Station 78. Using the baseline travel time
320
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 88
of 10 minutes and 24 seconds, the map below illustrates the change in the concentration
of resources if Station 78 is closed.
The concentration of resources using the baseline travel time still has the number of
personnel above the 21 personnel needed on the first alarm assignment.
321
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 89
Recommendation: Establish call processing time benchmark performance
objectives of 64 seconds of the emergency calls for service 90% of the time.
Recommendation: Establish turnout time benchmark performance objectives of 60
seconds for EMS responses and 80 seconds for fire and special operations
responses 90% of the time.
Recommendation: Establish travel time baseline performance objectives for the
first arriving unit of 5 minutes 12 seconds and baseline performance objectives of
10 minutes 24 seconds for a first alarm assignment 90% of the time.
The fire protection system contains several components including response time,
personnel, and other resources designed to reduce the effects of unfriendly fires. The
creation of these performance objectives provides direction to the members of the
department and establishes the expectations of their performance related to response
time. In addition, through these objectives the public understands and knows what to
expect from the Fire Department.
Recommendation: Develop a mechanism to monitor and report the performance
against the established benchmark and baseline objectives at least annually.
Once the performance objectives are established , the Fire Department will need to
monitor its performance on a regular basis. There is no cost associated with this other
than the time for an individual to compile and analyze the data. These performance
measures are typically reported quarterly, but should be done a minimum of annually to
allow the City to be informed of the performance of the Fire Department relative to
established objectives.
It is important to note that the Vernon Fire Department has been working with the
Interagency Communications Interoperability (ICI) radio system and Verdugo Fire
Communications to upgrade electronic features to improve the reliability of response data.
At this time, data utilized for this report is via a Radio Frequency (RF) network that has
limited coverage within the stations. The following technological improvements are now
being implemented to create a more reliable data network for the Vernon Fire
Department.
• Updating Mobile Data Computers (MDC’s)
• Transitioning from the RF network to a more reliable broadband connectivity
network.
322
FINAL Standard of Cover Document VERNON, CALIFORNIA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 90
• Installing an ICI tower, which will provide increased “in building” radio
communications.
The data from the CAD program can have issues that will affect the results. One
mechanism to address these issues includes using only qualified data to calculate
response time and any related components. To be considered the data must meet the
following criteria:
• The incident must have been unique
• The incident must have involved at least one fire department unit being dispatched
to the call.
• Calls that are missing data are not used in the computations for call processing,
turnout time, travel time, or call duration.
• Any call with usually long times or times sorted incorrectly (arrived before dispatch
time) should be removed.
• Non-emergency responses are removed, only emergency responses are included.
After filtering the data in this manner, the remaining incidents can be used to determine
compliance with the established performance objectives.
Recommendation: Develop a mechanism to annually update the Community Risk
Assessment and Standard of Cover document.
The risk to the community will change through a variety of mechanisms such as new
development, changes in the occupancies and buildings. changes in the demographics
of the community, or other changes in the emergency services. As these changes occur
the Fire Department should evaluate its deployment strategy to ensure adequate service
levels continue to be provide. Significant changes may require a change in resource
allocations to address the new risk profile of the City. Monitoring the performance
objectives will provide an additional mechanism to address any changes in the fire
protection system. The community risk analysis and standard of cover provides a
mechanism for the Fire Department to address those changing needs and be responsive
to the community.
