City of Waupun
Executive Summary: Fire & Emergency Response Staffing Needs
Presented April 30, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Consolidation of fire services makes good fiscal sense for all parties involved. If left
separate, significant legal and administrative work is required to mitigate risks associated
with service delivery.
POC rosters must be expanded to ensure adequate coverage. Downward trends in
volunteerism and an aging roster of firefighters demands careful monitoring and eventual
adaptation of the service delivery model to ensure long-term sustainability. In any case,
reliance on Paid-on-Call Firefighters will remain a critical component of any service delivery
model the city adopts.
The addition of the EMR program supplements the current ambulance service delivery
model, has positively impacted patient outcomes; makes good fiscal sense; has reduced
EMS assists for POC firefighters; and, has saved police officer time and improve safety,
which is essential to address police staffing shortages. As such, the service should be
continued.
Downward trends in volunteerism will also impact EMR response and will need to be
monitored similar to fire staffing. An action plan will be needed to determine steps to address
emerging trends impacting service performance.
Contracts with contracted ambulance provider should be renegotiated to increase service
levels and address service gaps currently being experienced. The city should anticipate this
negotiation to impact cost (2018 cost was estimated at $350,000).
The City has leveraged grant funding to add capital equipment that enables an affordable
transition of the service delivery model. This creates a unique opportunity for the city to
consider changes that would strengthen response. Additional grant opportunities exist to
support this transition and should be explored as appropriate.
Both fire and EMS would benefit from shifting to a combination service delivery model with
more cross-trained, full-time staff. Ambulance revenues would allow the city to add FTE to
complement the Paid-on-Call rosters, increasing available staff for fire response while
improving quality of ambulance service and reliability. Even with this, the city must maintain
a strong Paid-on-Call roster of Firefighters and EMRs regardless of direction set.
FIRE SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Organizational Option 1: Maintain Community and City Fire Departments separate, with
some changes in staffing and continuing with the same provision of Emergency Medical
Services.
RECOMMENDED STAFFING CHANGES RECOMMENDED OPERATIONAL

1. Increase Number of Company Officers An Intergovernmental agreement

Option 1: Improve Current Service Delivery Model
FUTURE STEPS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY
1. Enhance recruitment strategies to fill and maintain EMR roster.
1. Negotiate the next contract with service provided and consider increasing on-time
standard from 90% to something higher, which would be consistent with
community expectation. NOTE: Contracted costs will increase with service
expectations and inflationary factors unaccounted for from current contract. If RFP
is issued, noted that landscape for contracted providers is changing and interest
may be limited for providers to expand service territories.

FUTURE STEPS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY
1. Enhance recruitment strategies to fill and maintain EMR roster but need to upskill
EMRs to Basic EMT level. Some EMRs already meet this standard, and some will
not want to train at the next level.

Subject City Hall Condition Assessment
Cedar Corporation has been working with the City of Waupun on their Municipal Facilities for the last
several years. In 2020, Cedar Corporation prepared a report of the City of Waupun outlining the
condition of the municipal facilities and a capital improvement plan that identified short, intermediate
and long-term needs for all city facilities. Within that report, City Hall building improvements totaled
nearly $4.0 million over the next ten (10) years.
To help with current capital planning needs, Cedar Corporation, the City Administrator and Public Works
Director evaluated the City Hall Building on April 23, 2024 by completing a walk through of the interior
spaces to discuss building systems condition and functionality, suitability for renovation and overall
condition of the structure. We also completed a review of the building exterior, focusing on the building
façade, windows and building access. Findings were compared to the 2020 report. There are several
areas of the building that have continued to age and deteriorate that are of notable concern.
1. Due to the building configuration with the upper-level auditorium, the site access is extensive and
includes multiple stairways and sidewalks which appear to be settling, shifting, and further
deteriorating since last evaluated in 2020. The site access needs to be repaired and, in most
instances, requires replacement. ADA accessibility will need to be addressed as part of any site
upgrades.
2. There are areas of the building that require tuck point and repair to prevent structural damage
caused whenever water is able to infiltrate brick structures.
3. A planned roof repair project budgeted in 2024 capital projects should proceed if at all possible.
Secondarily, the HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems have reached their useful life and require
replacement. There are no redundancies in the current HVAC system. A failure of that system would
result in probable closure of the building until repairs or replacement could be completed. Finally,
consideration should be given to building functionality, accessibility and security.
In 2024 dollars, we estimate that identified costs for all improvements now far exceed our original
estimate of $4 M. The current estimate should be updated to $5M for all identified improvements, with
the most immediate needs focused on the exterior improvements identified above.
