Agenda Item #6, Public Forum
6-A, Public Appearance by Richard Allen, 1613 Mockingbird Lane,
Southlake. Mr. Allen expressed that he has been a member of the
Southlake Volunteer Fire Department for five (5) years . He stated
li he is President Elect of the SVFD and present to speak for quality
fire services . In Southlake the Fire and Police were separate
until October 1990 . He stated the Department feels it is in the
best interest of the City to have separate departments with a
IE separate Fire Chief and Police Chief. He alleged the firefighters
are currently under the supervision of an unqualified supervisor.
E Allen referenced: an accident in Highland Park; higher insurance
rates under the DPS system; and the fact that the department wants
an ordinance for each department with each department having their
own chiefs .
Mike Thompson, 250 Pine Drive, Southlake. Mr. Thompson is
currently employed with the City of Grapevine Fire Department. He
stated it has been brought to his attention that the Southlake paid
firefighters have been put on fifteen ( 15) hour days . He wants the
best medical and fire safety for his family. Men cannot function
at 2 : 00 a.m. after working fifteen ( 15) hour days . How free is
their free time? His tax dollars go to the City and he wants top
dollar service.
Mike Totin, 919 Emerald Blvd. , Southlake. He is a Volunteer
Firefighter for Southlake. He stated he feels the elected
officials should admit that the DPS Program is a mistake. He
referenced several areas where the concept was scrapped. He
suggested it is a "trip" comparing Southlake with DFW Airport.
Tony Gutierrez, 1225 Timberline Court, Southlake. Mr. Gutierrez is
a Southlake Volunteer Firemen. He read from a fire magazine, the
difference in training for fire and police officers. He asked
Council to reconsider the DPS program.
Chris Moore, 675 Cherry Lane, Southlake. Mr. Moore is a Southlake
Volunteer Firemen. He shared a list of items the volunteers have
purchased with their funds, adding, the Volunteers have come a long
way. He stated the City now has six (6) volunteer E.M.T. Officers,
and before long, there will be twelve ( 12) volunteer E.M.T.
ll Officers. He explained the problems he sees with a "DPS" Officer
on the fire scene. He stated the department has no Fire Chief or
Assistant Fire Chief, the moral is low and they are in need of
training. Since this is Public Safety, it is the public who will
pay.

Agenda Item #6, Continued
Rexenne Allen, 1613 Mockingbird Lane, Southlake. Mrs . Allen is a
Southlake Volunteer Firefighter. She stated, we are an excellent
Fire Department, both volunteer and paid. She stated many of the
men have grown up in Southlake and have gone to schools here. They
have taken the responsibility to make this a good organization.
They want it back where it was. She asked Council, to not subject
our citizens to higher insurance rates . Keep our Police Department
"pure" with a single task, and not rob them of their identity and
their pride. Don't rob our citizens of service.
Scott Rudduck, 217 Lilac Lane, Southlake. Mr. Rudduck is a
Southlake Volunteer Firefighter. He stated, a community needs
police and fire services . He read an opinion from the National
Fire Protection Association. He alleged men with divided
responsibilities cannot do an adequate job.
Vick Ashcraft, 1201 Emerald, Southlake. He is not a Volunteer
Fireman, however, he has served as a professional fireman in three
(3) Volunteer Fire Departments in Little Rock, Arkansas . The DPS
System is not working, nor has it worked in other Fire Departments
in the area.
ie.' Barbara Rudduck, 217 Lilac Lane, Southlake. She is the Mother of
Scott Rudduck, a volunteer fireman. She told a story about her
son, Scott, and how devoted he is to the Southlake Fire Department,
no matter what the conditions .
Mayor Fickes commented on how much the City Council appreciates the
Fire Department in Southlake. Fire and Police are the most
expensive departments in a city and because of the growth and
rural-low density, taxes are a problem. Southlake is the 3rd
largest city in Tarrant County. We must have the best service at
the lowest possible cost to the tax payer. The City Council was
told mandatory cross-training did not work. We must have our
volunteers . The City Council recognizes a system that will work,
I it will take years to implement and will not be done overnight. At
that time, we would hire DPS Officers who are already trained.
City Council felt this would be a system that would work well, at
the least cost to the tax payers . One year ago, the system was
brought in on an administrative level .

Mayor Pro Tem Rick Wilhelm stated he met with the board last night
and training was the most concern. He stated the City will provide
the training to those volunteers who want it. We must have trained
volunteers to back up the paid people. The City must stand behind
the volunteers . He stated he enjoyed meeting with each of the men
and talking about the By-Laws of the group.
Mike Totin, 919 Emerald, Southlake. Mr. Totin stated they were
told they would not get more paid firefighters, that the new men
would be Public Safety Officers .
Director Billy Campbell explained there has been absolutely no talk
in the administration about hiring Public Safety Officers at this
point and juncture. P.S.O. ' s would be established when we attain
the things the Mayor said, as far as minimum standards . He does
not feel it is for him to say. He feels the minimum standards
should be set at a time the volunteers can reach them. His only
concern is that they not put a volunteer in a position that he
I cannot respond to from a safety standpoint or a life safety
standpoint for his self or someone else.
We are not going to come in and say, the next person hired will be
ili- P.S.O. This is a budget item and it is not there. Campbell added,
when they talk about minimum staffing, they are talking about
minimum staffing of the paid men and not the volunteers .
IMayor Fickes stated if one person per shift is hired, it will be
four (4) new men. It will cost approximately 4 cents on the tax
I role in order to hire one person. That is why the volunteer system
is essential in this city, and this Council realizes this .
I The City will wait ninety (90) days to hire a Fire Chief. We have
someone serving in this capacity until that time.
City Manager, Curtis Hawk addressed working hours of the paid men.
I Until today, he did not know what the perception was about the
hours of the paid men. The paid personnel are working ten ( 10)
hours per day. On paper, they are working a twelve ( 12) hour
I shift, which is what they are getting paid to do. They work a
twenty-four (24) hour shift, two (2) , twelve( 12) hour days. Take
out two (2) hours for lunch and dinner, an hour for physical
training and two (2) hours for free time. He does not feel it is
onerous and he does not think they think it is onerous . It is just
different.
rHawk feels the Acting Deputy Director is qualified to over see
the fire services, and with the three (3) shift lieutenants, he
feels we will make it through until we have a Fire Chief.

Agenda Item #6, Continued
Councilmember Barry Emerson commented, he finds it strange that
this problem has grown relatively quickly for something that
happened one and one-half years ago. He agreed we need the
volunteers . There must be rules and the Volunteer Fire Department
' I must follow the rules. We do have an ordinance, in regards to
Volunteer Firemen, however, it has not been enforced since it was
approved in 1966 .
Mayor Fickes suggested a couple of Councilmembers meet with the
Volunteers to try and work out the misconceptions .
Fickes stated, the Volunteers give of their time and money and in
instances throughout this country, they have given their lives.
They must realize when they are out on a fire, they are
representing the city. In today's world of litigation, the city is
liable for everything they do. If the city does not have proper
documentation that the volunteers are properly training, the city
is liable. It is essential, when they are representing the city as
a volunteer, that the city gives them the proper training.
Councilmember Sally Hall stated in response to Mike Totin's
comments in regards to proper ordinances and fire codes . She
ii'l stated she has spend a year and one-half working with upgrading the
Fire Codes in the City. She reference the Fina, Conoco, and
I Diamond Shamrock fuel terminals . We now have a mowing ordinance,
and a Court of Record, which is necessary to enforce the Codes,
where the citations cannot be appealed to Tarrant County. Shake
Shingles have also been addressed in an ordinance.
CTom Snyder, President of the Volunteer Fire Department. The
Volunteers are not fighting the City, they are here fighting for
I their department. They have special needs, they are not properly
trained, they need special training. They are afraid, and their
moral is bad. If the City brakes the moral of the Volunteers, it
I will cost the city a lot of money.
Mayor Fickes stated he would like to see the City stay with the
Department of Public Safety System for awhile, give it a good try.
IChris Moore stated Don Wilson was the best person in support of
the system. He stated the City is about to loose about eight (8)
paid firemen if things don't change. He feels the problems have
been sheltered from the City Council by the Administration.

Wayne Malouf, Attorney in Dallas. He stated he does not reside in
Southlake but has been asked by members of the Fire Department to
check on two things : 1) If the DPS System went through, what
could be done legally, if the City Council decided to go through
with it; 2) If something were organized, could City Employees be
involved, as far as citizens organizations, without retaliation or
job discrimination.
Mr. Malouf feels it would go along way if the personnel were
reassured they would not be discriminated against for this activity.
Mayor Fickes stated he would be more than happy to meet with the
Volunteers and paid staff. Councilmembers Wilhelm and Emerson also
volunteered to meet.
Mrs . Gutierrez, Tony' s mother noted how much her son loves the
Volunteer Fire Department.
Rudy Fernandez, 1430 Brumlow Avenue, Southlake. Mr. Fernandez is a
citizen of Southlake and a current Lieutenant and nineteen year
veteran of the Dallas Fire Department. He is concerned that the
'i City of Southlake is leaning toward a Department of Public Safety.
He stated he hopes and prays for the sake and lives of the citizens
of Southlake that this is not true. He appreciates that this may
be budgetary good intentions . He hopes that this is not a power
seeking play by a public official . He asked what level of risk is
the City willing to accept. This may have been a good measure ten
to thirty years ago, this would be a step backwards today with all
the expensive construction going up in Southlake. If the citizens
were smart, they would sue the city for going this direction when
they have the option to specialize.
Police and Fire Departments do not want it and it is horrible for
moral . In summary, it might be cost efficient in the short run,
but a whole lot less fire and hazard safety effective in the long
run. The Fire Department needs a Fire Chief and a Police
Department needs a Police Chief.
Don Wilson, Southlake. Mr. Wilson, former Fire Chief, informed the
Mayor and Council the incidents surrounding his resignation on
October 21, 1991 . He stated he has been a sponsor of the Public
Safety Program since his becoming an employee of Southlake. He
stated he was told that they would have minimum maned Fire and
Police before they would have public safety officers . He read
from a memo dated August 6, 1991, signed by Director Billy
Campbell .
