3.1. Police And Fire Department Updates
Police – Three applicants are in the background process for police officer positions. Two officers
recently submitted their resignations, one police officer retired, and there will be two more
retirements coming end of 2024. A new wellness app, Cordico, is being built and implemented for the
department. This app will include current and retired members, expected to launch around January
2025. Chief Winterscheidt gave a brief update on calls and traffic stops for 2024. A new electric
Chevrolet Blazer has arrived and will get fitted with equipment soon. New Axon Body 4 cameras
have arrived; the department is under contract with Axon to have the cameras replaced at the 2.5 year
mark and once the contract is up, the current cameras will be owned by the department.
Fire – Chief Vollbrecht states there have been 3,874 calls year to date. This past Monday there was an
explosion at the grain elevator at Connors Point. There were no injuries, and the explosion is under
investigation. The Fire Department is hosting caregiver bootcamp on 11/22/24. In 2023, there were
over 700 calls for service for elderly falling/lift assists. The department has also been doing rescue
task force training with Superior Police Department in the last couple of weeks. One firefighter
recently completed probation.
4. NEW BUSINESS
4.1. Approve two stop signs to be installed at Logan Avenue and 17 th Street going East and
West – Request from Councilor Herrick
Councilor Herrick states he has been receiving phone calls from residents in the area requesting stop
signs going East and West to slow down traffic. Vehicles are likely taking this route to avoid the
roundabout. Public Works Director Todd Janigo agrees this problem may swell once the Blatnik
Bridge closes and the stop signs would help.
MOTION to approve by Councilor Elm, second by Mike Herrick, carried. Will forward to
Public Works.
4.2. Approve adding two stop signs to make it a four way stop at North 6 th St and Grand Ave –
Request from Raven Ford Moe-, Parent Policy Council Advisor for Head Start Center 2
Public Safety Committee Minutes – 11/21/2024; page 1 of 2
Jeanne Myer states Head Start Center 2 is now self-transport, in the past they were able to utilize
buses for students. Many families that live in the area walk their kids to school and the center goes
on walking field trips. They are requesting two additional stop signs to make it a four way stop for
safety reasons. Jeanne was made aware today by Councilor Graskey the bus stop there has been
moved down one block. A school zone sign was also recently placed. Director Todd Janigo states he
had a meeting yesterday and they discussed doing a road diet with paint and cones to make a median
and eliminate the center turn lane. The paint would have to wait until Spring 2025. There will likely
be a signal light placed at Grand Ave and Winter St in the next couple of years due to the Blatnik
Bridge closure. Lieutenant Trone did additional traffic detail at North 6th and Grand Avenue recently
and he will also be placing a digital speed sign there. Director Todd Janigo states they will place
additional speed limit signs going Northbound and Southbound, will place “No parking here to
corner” signs where 6th St meets Grand Avenue, and will proceed with road diet in the Spring of
2025.
MOTION to hold indefinitely by Councilor Elm, second by Councilor Herrick.
4.3. Approve to purchase First Due Software Suite – Chief Vollbrecht, Fire Department
Chief Vollbrecht would like to amend 4.3 to read “Approve and forward to CIT Committee to
purchase First Due Software Suite”. The software suite will replace 5 different software programs.
The Communications Center/Dispatch uses Spillman which does not integrate with the current
program the Fire Department uses. The current programs currently cost around $24,000 annually and
First Due Software Suite will cost around $30,000 annually with IT taking this cost in 2026.
MOTION to approve and forward to CIT Committee by Councilor Elm, second by Councilor
Ledin, carried. Will forward to CIT Committee.
4.4. Approve WEM Hazmat Regional Emergency Response/WHMRS Equipment grant and
purchase of hazmat equipment included in the grant for a total of $141,063.05 – Chief

3. RECURRING BUSINESS
3.1. Police And Fire Department Updates
Police - Chief Winterscheidt states there were approximately 1700 calls for the Police Department in
the month of September 2024. Hybrid squads are being implemented, all new squads have arrived to
the department and they are currently getting equipment and graphics installed. One electric vehicle is
on order, no timeline on when it will arrive yet.
Fire - RFQs for architecture and engineering on station 2 and 3; they are due on 10/22 and will
hopefully be presented to Public Safety in November. Two firefighters spent some time in North
Carolina with the Wisconsin Task Force 1 for relief due to the recent hurricane. October is Fire Safety
Month. The department has spent time in local schools to teach about fire safety, as well as inviting
home school kids to headquarters. Fire Department headquarters is hosting an open house this
Saturday, October 19th from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM; it is a free event open to the public. Two new
firefighters recently completed finishing school at Lake Superior College. There have been 3400 calls
year to date.
4. NEW BUSINESS
4.1. Discussion on Fire Insurance Rating for the City of Superior
Fire insurance rating for the City of Superior was recently discussed at a Public Works meeting. Chief
Vollbrecht explained the process of how the city receives their rating and handed out a packet from the
2015 and 2020 rating that was received (handouts included in minutes). Insurance Services Office
(ISO) collects and evaluates data from communities throughout the county and provides a credit rating
for fire protection. The scale ranges from 1-10 (1 being the best and 10 being the worst), and the City
of Superior is currently rated at 3. There are three elements to receiving a rating and they are:
Emergency Communications 10%, Fire Department 50%, and Water Supply 40%. Each element is
broken down into a point system (see attached handouts). ISO is likely going to be doing another
evaluation in 2025 for the City of Superior. The Fire Department will be meeting several times with
Superior Water Light and Power soon to be prepared for ISO. There was some discussion on
improvements the city and fire department could make to improve the score.
No action, discussion only.

Good morning,
I would like to request two stop signs to be installed at 17th Street (going east and west) at Logan
Avenue.
I have received complaints about cars speeding to access the Bong Bridge. This is also in the zone of
Cooper Elementary School. Hopefully this will slow down traffic. This should also help when
construction of the new bridge occurs.
Thank you,
Mike

Good morning, Raven.
My apologies, I don’t recall seeing the first email and not sure if anyone else has responded.
We will be sending this topic to the Public Safety Committee meeting which will be meeting on
November 21st in Room 204 of Government Center. Public Works will also be present and a DTA
representative will be invited as well.
With that group, we should be able to begin addressing the concerns that you’ve raised.
Thank you.

*I am re-sending this email to the public works, and now including the mayor and the
police department as I have not received a follow up email from back in September.
My name is Raven Ford-Moe, Parent Policy Council Advisor for our local Head Start Center
2.
I am reaching out to inquire on the steps to make a current 2-way stop into a 4-way stop
with a cross walk for our walking families. I am also hoping to establish a perimeter around
the school as a school zone with a reduced driving speed. We have very young children
ages 3-5 attending school here, some with disabilities, and it has become an increasing
concern regarding traffic safety and vehicle speeds on the road in front of the school. We
have already had multiple "almost accidents" occur this school year. If you could help
point me in the right direction to address our concerns and establish these signs in our
area I would greatly appreciate it.
We also have had many complaints about the city bus stop having been moved, as the
stop is at that same intersection. This is damaging the road beside the school, causing
problems with parent parking and for when our students do get to use the school bus for
field trips, as the bus stop is right where our bus parking is on North 6th. Secondly, the
public who are using the bus stop have been very inconsiderate, laying against our fences,
and littering both garbage and drug/ alcohol paraphernalia along our chain fences where
the kids play. I understand this is likely a different department altogether, but we are at a
loss on whom to contact to request the bus stop be moved elsewhere and not directly at
our fence line where the 3 year olds are playing.
The address of the school is 518 Grand Avenue Superior WI 54880. The corner of concern is
North 6th Street and Grand Avenue.
Thank you so much for any help. I would appreciate a follow-up email to ensure these
matters are being looked into.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 18th, 2024
To: Public Safety Committee
From: Camron Vollbrecht, Fire Chief
RE: Purchase of First Due Software Suite
1. Introduction:
It has been requested by the Fire Department to purchase First Due Software Suite. Total cost is
$6,700 for the one-time implementation fee and a $15,000 subscription fee for 2025 and a
$30,000 annual fee beginning in 2026. This software suite will serve the fire department by
supporting our required EMS (ePCR) and fire (NFIRS) reports, fire inspection program, fire
investigations, training records, training platform, inventory and asset management, response
preplans, call back alerting system, advanced hydrant management, scheduling, Spillman CAD
integration, event response preplan and management, and provide a community connection for
residential preplans.
Fire Chief Vollbrecht is requesting the Public Safety Committee recommend and approve the
purchase of the software and forward to the full City Council for approval.
2. Background:
The fire department currently utilizes five software programs plus google docs, excel spread
sheets, and hand-filled out forms to accomplish some of the tasks supported by the First Due
Suite. Our current reporting software will not integrate sufficiently with our CAD dispatching
software. This requires addresses and run times to be manually entered, increasing the potential
for mistakes corrupting the quality of the reporting data. Additionally, our current scheduling
software doesn’t integrate into our reporting software resulting in the manual entry of staffing on
every run report. The software was demoed at Superior Fire Headquarters by members of the
command, administrative, and response staff along with IT Director Shea.
Our current collections of software cost $24,000 per year for the respective subscriptions.
We received a competing quote for $32,977 from ERP systems for a similar software system.
3. Analysis/Discussion:
The First Due software system will significantly streamline and increase the accuracy of our
reporting efforts. Replacing multiple systems with one integrated software reduces input effort
and mistakes, and minimizes the numbers of log ins that our members need to track.
The system also includes several features that our current software doesn’t support. The fleet
management segment of the First Due software will allow the mechanic and Fire Chief to easily
assess the cost of each vehicle repair and produce reports on fleet maintenance costs.
The software includes a “Community Connect” feature that allows resident to input information
on their household that will populate on our IPADS while responding to an emergency. The Fire
Department can also send information to residents through the system.
The software has a very powerful preplan segment. It will allow firefighters to access a large
amount of building information including special hazards, FDC locations, hydrant locations and
flow, measure distance to hydrants, and exposures just by clicking the address on the dispatch
information on the IPAD in the fire trucks. This system also allows us to set up preplan layers, so
we could set up layers for special events like the 4th of July detailing road closures and staging
locations.
4. Budget Source:
The software requires a one-time implementation fee of $ 6,700 and a $15,000 subscription fee
for July through December of 2025. The cost will come from the Fire Department’s budget. The
full year annual fee of $30,000 will come from the IT Departments budget starting in 2026.
5. Recommendation:
I am recommending the City of Superior Fire Department purchase the First Due Software Suite.

Statement of Work | Superior Fire Department
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Statement of Work (SoW) document is to clearly define the Implementation, Training, Data
Migration, Integrations, Customer Success Manager, Customer Support, and Assumptions for Superior Fire
Department (“Customer”) from Locality Media, Inc. dba First Due (“First Due”) for the purchased product(s)
set forth in Exhibit A – Quote (“Purchased Products”) attached to the Agreement.
1.2 Scope:
This SOW includes the configuration, optimization, and deployment of the Purchased Products with the goal
of meeting the organizational needs of the Customer.
2. Implementation
2.1 Overview
First Due utilizes a combination waterfall and iterative approach to implementation. This includes Discovery,
Configuration, Optimization, Data Migration, Training, and Go-Live.
2.2 Implementation Resources
• Implementation Manager: Project lead and go-to person, acting as the primary liaison between the
Customer and the First Due project team. The Implementation Manager will develop and execute the
project plan, manage communication, and ensure adherence to predefined timelines and quality
standards. This individual is also responsible for helping to configure the core system and some of the
more straightforward modules.
• Implementation Product Specialist(s): While the Implementation Manager will lead the overall project,
Product Specialists will be brought in to help configure and optimize specialty modules such as Fire
Prevention, ePCR, Assets & Inventory, Training, Scheduling, and Reporting. They are product experts in First
Due and are versed in industry best practices for their specific product specialties. Depending on the
modules purchased and complexity, your project may be assigned 1-3 Product Specialists.
• Technical Implementation Specialist: Responsible for managing data migration from your current vendor
to First Due and the integration between First Due and CAD. The Technical Implementation Specialist
Locality Media, Inc. Agreement Aug 2024 Page 8 of 13
team comes from a diverse background, ranging from database management to public safety software
integration.
• Customer Success Manager: As the point person after project completion, the Customer Success
Manager (CSM) will be part of the implementation as an advocate and to ensure a seamless transition to
support post go-live. During the Implementation they will regularly check-in to ensure progress is being
made and help with the addition of new modules or scope from a commercial perspective. Post go-live,
they will provide regular check-ins to ensure the Customer is adopting the Purchased Products and
deriving value from them.
• Training Manager: Responsible for developing and executing the training plan, with the goal of effective
adoption of the Purchased Products by Customer. The Training Manager will be involved throughout the
project to ensure they have the Customer specific knowledge to design the most effective training plan
possible.
2.3 Implementation Phases
2.3.1 Discovery & Planning: Once the Project has been assigned, Customer will receive a set of tailored
discovery questionnaires. Once filled out, the Implementation Manager will schedule a Project Kick-Off.
During this meeting the Customer will receive access to the First Due platform, meet the project team
and receive an initial product tour. The Implementation Manager will also provide an overview of the
project plan, decide the meeting cadence, and formalize the next steps. CAD Integration and Data
Migration planning meetings are also held during this phase, if required. These meetings will be led by
the Technical Implementation Specialist.
• Key Meeting(s): Project Kick-Off, CAD Kick-Off, Data Migration Planning
• Milestone(s): Project Kick-Off, System Access
• Customer Task(s): Fill Discovery Questionnaires
• Deliverable(s): Welcome email, Initial Account Set-Up, System Logins Provided
2.3.2 Configuration: After planning is complete, the Implementation Manager will begin scheduling the
Configuration sessions. Before each configuration session there will be some light prep work for the
Customer to complete. Generally, there will generally be one (1) configuration session per module, but
in cases where there is more complexity, there may be multiple. These sessions will be either be run by
the Implementation Manager or the Implementation Product Specialist, depending on the module.
• Key Meeting(s): Module Configuration Sessions (1-2 per module)
• Milestone(s): N/A
• Customer Task(s): Configuration Prep Work (per module)
• Deliverable(s): Initial Module Configuration

2.3.3 Optimization: After the configuration is complete, the Customer will be provided with test work (module
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)) to complete. Following the completion of the UAT work, Optimization
Sessions will be held to review Customer feedback, correct any issues, and finalize the configuration of
the module. There will generally be one (1) Optimization session per module, but in cases where there is
more complexity, there may be multiple. Once a module is configured and optimized, the Customer
will be provided a module sign-off document to review and sign. Note Configuration and Optimization
sessions may run interchangeably to ensure the project stays on-track.
• Key Meeting(s): Module Optimization Sessions (1-2 per module)
• Milestone(s): Module Acceptance and Sign-Off (1 per module)
• Customer Task(s): Optimization Prep Work (UAT per module)
• Deliverable(s): Module Optimization resulting in Customer Acceptance
• Scope: All Purchase Products
Locality Media, Inc. Agreement Aug 2024 Page 9 of 13
2.3.4 Data Migration: Data Migration will occur through-out the project and can be summarized in three
steps: (1) initial data migration at the beginning of the project required for configuration, (2) import of
historical records, usually occurring throughout the project, and (3) final data migration immediately
before go-live. First Due’s Data Migration team will review your legacy data environment and provide
guidance on the best path to extract, map, and import the data into First Due.
• Key Meeting(s): Data Migration Planning
• Milestone(s): Data Migration Sign-Off
• Customer Task(s): Extract or provide access to legacy data based on guidance from First Due
Data Migration team, Data Mapping Assistance, review and approve data load.

2.3.5 Training: As the project is in the final stages, the Training Manager will work with the Customer to
arrange a training plan that will result in the successful adoption of the Purchased Products. Note that
while Webinar Administrator training will occur during configuration and optimization sessions, the
Training Manager will arrange formal Webinar and/or Onsite Train-the-Trainer and/or End User Training
Session(s). Additive to the provided training, Customer will also have access to live weekly training
academy sessions as well as on demand online training videos and training guides via the First Due
Knowledgebase.

3. Training
Training is an integral part of any successful implementation. First Due is focused on providing your agency
adequate training to ensure effective user adoption of the platform. As part of this Statement of Work, the
Customer shall receive:
• Formal training as outlined in Exhibit A - Quote
• Administrator Training as part of the Configuration / Optimization
• Access to live First Due Academy Webinars
• Access to online recorded training videos and guides via an interactive knowledgebase
Any additional scope or detail related to Training will be listed below.
Locality Media, Inc. Agreement Aug 2024 Page 10 of 13
4. Data Migration
First Due understands the importance of data migration to our customers and has extensive experience
working to migrate historical records into the platform. First Due will use best efforts to migrate applicable
data from Customer’s existing systems utilizing data migration best practices. This includes:
• Data Migration Planning Session
• Assistance/Guidance in extracting data from existing system/s
• Mapping extracted data to First Due import workbooks
• Importing of Data into First Due
The Data Migration scope of this Statement of Work will be to import legacy data from Customer existing
systems in order for the Purchased Products to be operational. This includes operational data and historic
records. Note that there are times when certain data is not seen as valuable to migrate to First Due. First Due
and Customer will agree during the planning phase on what data needs to be migrated and priorities
around data migration.
5. Integrations
As part of this Statement of Work, First Due will Implement all integrations and relevant scope outlined in
Exhibit A – Quote. Integrations will be implemented during the configuration and optimization phases outlined
above. In most cases, these integrations will be aligned with the module they are related. The only exception
to this is the CAD Integration which, if part of scope, will have its own dedicated session at the beginning of
an implementation. Customer or complex integrations may follow this same exception and have their own
sessions to implement.
First Due will support these integrations post go-live. Note First Due is not responsible for outages, issues, and
failures of 3rd Party Vendors. First Due will, however, always endeavor to work with Customer to resolve issues,
regardless of responsibility.
Any additional scope or detail related to Integrations will be listed below.
6. Customer Success Manager
First Due understands the value of ongoing Customer Success activities post go-live. As part of this Statement
of Work, Customer will receive a Customer Success Manager who will be the point person for Customer post
go-live. Customer will receive regular check-ins to ensure the adoption of the Purchased Products. As part of
the regular check-ins, the Customer Success Manager can help Customer with any major enhancements or
issues, new feature updates, interest in other modules and additional training needs.
7. Customer Support
A customer’s success is important to First Due and we understand having a reliable, knowledgeable
Customer Support (or Support) team there to help is vital. Customer Support provides a central point of
contact to ensure that all customer support requests are responded to and resolved. Below is a summary of
the support components.
7.1 Contacting Customer Support
Customer Support is a service provided to our customers when they have questions, requests, or issues with
the Services. When Customer submits a support request, a Support Ticket (or Ticket) is created within First
Due’s Support CRM and a unique ID (or ticket number) is assigned to track and document Customer’s
support request.
We offer a variety of channels to communicate with our Support team:
• Online: https://support.firstduesizeup.com/portal/en/kb/first-due-community-connect-support
• Email: support@firstdue.com
• Phone: (516) 874-5818
Locality Media, Inc. Agreement Aug 2024 Page 11 of 13
7.2 Self-Service Resources
First Due strives to provide useful, empowering self-service resources that are available 24/7 on our online
Support Center. Our Knowledgebase contains step-by-step/how-to articles, FAQs, videos, best practices,
etc.
7.3 Hours of Operation
Customer Support hours of operation (Business Hours) are:
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 6:00pm ET**
• ** 24x7 Support available for Sev 1 (Down/Urgent) issues.
8. Assumptions
8.1 Customer Participation
Every successful implementation requires adequate participation from the Customer. Although First Due is
ultimately responsible for deliverables in the SoW, Customer agrees to attend the necessary calls and
complete required preparatory work in order to help drive the project forward. At a minimum, Customer
resources will be required for one (1) hour per week for meetings, and half an hour to one (0.5-1) hour of prep
work per week by one or multiple individuals. Customer understands the importance of ensuring the correct
Customer resources are available when required.
8.2 Statement of Work Expiration
Excluding significant delays caused by the First Due team, this Statement of Work will expire within twelve (12)
months of the Subscription Start Date as detailed in Exhibit A – Quote. In situations where the project is
delayed for no fault of either party, First Due agrees to extend the term, only if there is an agreed plan to
complete the project within the extension period. Note the term expiration does not apply to section 6 & 7
above and will not impact First Due’s ability to support the Customer post go-live.
8.3 Best Practice and Standard Workflow
First Due intends to meet the organizational needs of the Customer and their respective software
requirements by configuring the Purchased Products to closely align with existing workflows. Although First
Due is incredibly flexible, there may be times when First Due recommends using standard functionality or best
practice to ensure a timely implementation, and simplification of current process. These workflows may differ
from Customer existing workflows. Customer understands the importance of collaboration to achieve the
ultimate goal of successfully adopting the Purchased Products and is aware there may be changes to
existing workflow to accomplish this.
8.4 Go-live Requirements & Gaps
Over the course of the Implementation, both parties may uncover functionality gaps in the Purchased
Products. Some of these gaps may have a material impact on the ability to implement or adopt the product.
Gaps of this nature, deemed Go-Live Requirements, will be prioritized to ensure a timely go-live and project
completion. However, in the case that certain features are not complete before go-live, they will be added
to module and system signoffs as exceptions and will be completed within an agreed upon timeframe.
