The need for this project(for instance-Our county wide ambulance service has been BLS since its inception. We have become a favorite retirement spot for many Colorado residents in the past 5 years. The complexity of our calls has increased along with the number. We want to upgrade to ALS withing the next year. We need to replace our worn out transport ambulance) Our fire district is experiencing a rapid growth of residents and persons moving into and traveling through the district. This population expansion has increased our call volume as well as the number of responses we are providing initial EMS care for. Our on scene times have increased due to the district's addition of a 24 hour career first response unit and waiting for mutual aid ambulances when our primary provider is unavailable. The district's primary budget goals are directed toward the addition of paid personnel to meet the demands of the increased call volume. This has reduced funds available for new purchases, but allows for maintenance and upgrades of current fire/rescue equipment. Our goal is to upgrade our first response unit to full time ALS within 4 to 5 years. Presently this unit is staffed with a Paramedic one third of the time,and an EMT-B two thirds of the time. 2. A description of the project(for instance-Priority#1 We would like to upgrade the level of service countywide to 24 hr ALS; a)training for 6 new EMT'I; b)2 manual defibs;c: radios for EMT-Is,Priority #2 ambulance to replace 1980 Type II with 150,000 miles on it,etc.) Purchase a Semiautomatic External Defibrillator with manual paramedic override and monitoring capability and train all department Emergency Medical Technicians to operate the unit in conjunction with our Physician advisors and the State EMS guidelines. 9q'©yi& LEGAL NAME OF AGENCY FEDERAL TAX ID Frederick Area Fire Protection District 98-06225 CONTACT PERSON PHONE(DAY) PHONE(NIGHT) Domenic Chioda 303-833-2742 303-651-3104 AGENCY MAILING ADDRESS PO Box 129 STREET CITY ZIP 31 Walnut Drive Frederick 80530 LEGAL STATUS OF AGENCY/ORGANIZATION(Mark all that apply): _PRIVATE NOT FOR PROFIT PRIVATE FOR PROFIT COUNTY/CITY GOVERNMENT _STATE AGENCY X SPECIAL DISTRICT OTHER PROJECT AREA(Mark all that apply): Communications _Training X MedicaURescue Equipment _Continuing Education X Manual X Automated Defibrillator _Training Equipment _Public Education _PIER/Injury Prevention Programs Other Emergency Vehicle _Ambulance_Quick Response Rescue County Wide Grant _Regional Grant _State-wide Grant X Individual Agency Grant X 50% CASH MATCH REQUIREMENT MET WAIVER HAS BEEN REQUESTED I,the undersigned,do hereby attest that the information contained within this application is true to the best of my knowledge.

Domenic A.Chioda District Fire Chief PRINTED NAME TITLE ,D % - � SIGNATURE DATE 1 990 c JUSTIFY WHY THIS PROJECT IS NEEDED(see instructions on opposite page) FAFPD (Frederick Area Fire Protection District) is requesting funds from the Colorado State EMS Subsidy Grant for the purchase of an Semi-Automatic defibrillator with manual override and monitoring capability. We are specifically wishing to purchase this unit for the following reasons: 1: the unit can be operated as an AED with voice recording and code summary printout. 2) it is capable of being used as a manual defibrillator and ECG monitor by ALS crews. FAFPD currently has one full time Paramedic/Shift Officer , one EMT-Basic/Shift Officer and one EMT-Basic/Chief who provide twenty four coverage to the district via a quick response unit on a"Kelly" schedule. The District plans to provide ALS coverage on all shifts within the next four to five years by increasing our full time staff and levels of EMS certification to that of EMT-Intermediates and Paramedics. FAFPD has experienced an increase in call volume of 20%this past year and 35%over the past 4 years. Our population base has increased 23% this past year with one of the towns we serve placing in the top three fastest growing communities in Weld County. Utilization of mutual aid ambulances doubled in 1997 and doubled again in 1998. Mutual aid ambulances are located eight to twenty miles from our district when available. Run reports show an average of 5 cardiac arrest per year in the district. An alarming statistical increase is the number of 911 calls that are cardiac related. The 3:5 ratio of EMS verse Fire/Hazmat related calls has remained consistent over the past three years, but the cardiac related EMS calls within that ratio have increased by 15 %. Future increases are expected at a conservative 16%based on Claritas Inc. and Weld County Demographic reports. Our district is rapidly changing from a rural area of bedroom communities and farm land to an urban development. Presently nine residential and four commercial/industrial developments are actively breaking ground. The district is responsible for providing service as soon as sites are cleared for occupancy, but do not receive tax entities until the following year. Donations have been aggressively asked for and received to provide for improvements and purchases of fire/rescue apparatus and equipment. A local business provided donations this past year for the district to purchase an AED trainer to help us in preparing our EMT's for future EMS service improvements and to educate the community and local emergency services in CPR/AED through American Heart Association courses. Over the last few years the fire district has evolved from a volunteer department to a combination of career, reserves and volunteers. By adding 24 hour paid staff, a second station, apparatus, equipment for additional members and additional training for new members the district has exhausted budget funds. Assistance is needed to meet the current demands of our growing district. FAFPD will continue to increase its services and prepare maintenance funds within the budget for training and equipment upgrades. County Plan Reference(see instructions on opposite page): 2.3.A EXISTING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION-TREATMENT 5. Manpower and staffing issues are addressed by each agency. 2.3.B IDENTIFY ANY AREAS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT-TREATMENT Continue to identify training issues through needs assessments, surveys,and call review. 2.3.C Treatment Goal#5 With an increase in the population, and additional strains on resources, we need to pay special attention to the critical incidents that are becoming more frequent. 2 q90 Vi 6 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND HOW YOUR PROJECT UPGRADES EMS (See instructions on opposite page) Goal#1: Improve response times to alarms in the district. Over the last three years, FAFPD has actively improved response times to all alarms by adding career personnel. The district board of directors has prioritized budget funds for salaries to improve services and responses by implementing a progressive transition of becoming a combination department. Initial plans provided for paid personnel on week days during regular business hours. This has since progressed to three career positions that operate a rapid response unit for initial on scene size up, safety, triage, patient assessment, patient treatment and incident command establishment. Presently we are increasing our staff by adding a career position on week days and plan to increase our first response unit to two persons on all twenty-four hour shifts in January of 2000. Goal#2: Increase number of responders in the district. FAFPD has consistently had twenty to thirty volunteer members on the department. The district has implemented a Reserve program and recruit drive to increase this number due to increased call volume and decreased ability of present volunteers to respond to as many calls. Funding has been established within the budget to recruit, train and provide personal protective equipment for additional personnel. The cost to bring on additional personnel is over $2,000.00 per each member. Policy and procedures for minimum training requirements include State Firefighter I, Hazmat Operations and Emergency Medical Technician Basic certifications within one year of completion of the fire academy. Goal#3: Continue to upgrade the level of Fire/Rescue service provided. FAFPD provides EMS care at a basic life support level under Dr. Massey, Physician Advisor, North Suburban Medical Center. We have received official acceptance by Dr. Massey to advance our level of care to advance life support with our current career paramedic and future inclusion of additional ALS providers. This advancement of care is necessary due to the increased number of alarms that we arrive to before an ALS transport agency, as well as the increase in on scene time while our primary transport agency is unavailable and ambulances are responding to these calls from other cities. The addition of an automated/manual defibrillator enhances the function of our first response unit on alarms under these conditions that are cardiac related, which have also increased. It is our goal to obtain a full compliment of ALS equipment as additional ALS providers are brought onto to the department. The recruitment for the reserve program is actively seeking members that are already ALS certified to assist in supplementing the career shifts that are staffed with EMT-Basics. Staff increases for January 2000 will be focused on providing full time ALS coverage for the district. Goal#4: Upgrade and add essential equipment in conjunction with level of service provided. Increasing the level of service provided obviously requires additional personnel, training and equipment. To achieve this, EMS equipment on the first response unit shall be upgraded to ALS. The district will seek ways to do this by purchasing equipment that will improve our current level of BLS care and that has the capability of serving our future level of ALS care. Simple purchases will include advanced airway kits, medication kits and special pediatric ALS equipment. Major purchases will include an automated/manual defibrillator with ECG capabilities. FAFPD already maintains all BLS level equipment, including, basic airway kits, portable and fixed oxygen supply units,Intravenous fluids and ancillary IV equipment,basic pediatric and Obstetrical equipment. Goal#5: Seek funding assistance to upgrade and add new services. The district has been and continues to be successful in procuring funds for adding and upgrading services. Past projects have included: Successful voter approval of"de-Brucing" to allow the district to keep all allocated funds; low interest rate financial funding and donations to build a second station and primary training center; purchasing additional fire and rescue response apparatus from district neighbors by trading services and mutual aid agreements to substantially reduce the purchase price or to receive the equipment for cost of repairs only; seeking donations of money and goods from area businesses for special projects such as our Easter Egg hunt and Christmas candy sacks for elementary and preschool students; donations from area merchants for training equipment-Valley Bank donated funds for an AED trainer.; and State funded training programs such as Hazmat awareness and operations. Goal#6: Implement funding for maintenance of added and improved services and equipment. The rapid growth within our district increases the need for service now, however, tax funding for the district will continue to increase with this growth. Tax funds are not immediately available from new residents and 3a 990q/ (� DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND HOW YOUR PROJECT UPGRADES EMS (continued) (See instructions on opposite page) commercial/industrial developments until the year following occupancy. This increase in revenue is necessary to maintain services but does little for increasing services as fast it as it required. Therefore, the district is presently seeking assistance to provide for the current demands of increased service and shall utilize future funds to maintain these programs and provide for additional personnel to provide such services. FAFPD's primary source of funds is from tax subsidies with supplements from donations and grants, the district is not allowed to assess charges for specific services at this time. Should the district pursue other extensions of service, such as transportation of patients or Technician level Hazmat operations, then fees will be assessed for recoupment of such services for the maintenance of such programs. 3b How will the project provide for a long-term solution to the current problem? The purchase of an automated/manual defibrillator will enable current and future staff to provide a better first response service, improving the quality of care provided to patients now and in the future. Financial assistance from the state for this project will enable our district to implement the upgrade of more advanced emergency medical services one to two years sooner by purchasing a unit that will meet our current level of BLS care and still be usable by current and future ALS providers. This will allow for better use of future funds that would otherwise have to be used to purchase a separate ECG/defibrillator that would also require additional funds for maintenance. When Reserve and Paid paramedics are presently available, they will be able to the use their knowledge and skills to the level of their certification which would be a more efficient use of resources and an incentive for recruiting additional reserves and future paid personnel. If this project is funded,how will the project be sustained in subsequent years? Maintenance programs provided by the manufacture for AED units are at reasonable rates that our budget has the ability to provide for. Training requirements for maintaining certifications are already funded for within the budget and therefore will not provide an additional burden. Replacement costs for equipment parts that are not under warranty or supplied for by maintenance agreements are already provided for within the budget for all equipment utilized by the district. Replacement of single use/disposable medical equipment is replaced by the transporting agency,and therefore is not a financial consideration. Based on the above,we do not have any reason to believe that substantial funding will be required to maintain the addition of an automated/manual defibrillator to our current medical equipment. List other any options you have researched to meet the need, and provide dollar amounts of other options you have explored.

The purchase of just an AED at present would cost approximately$2,000 less at this time but would only provide for an upgrade of BLS care to BLS with AED and would only serve 3%of our medical EMS related alarms. The purchase of an automated/manual defibrillator with ECG would serve 32%of our medical EMS related alarms and improve our current personnel efficiency utilization by 33%now and 100%in two to four years. Furthermore,the depreciation of an AED that would need to be replaced to an automated/manual defibrillator with ECG in two years would most likely cost an additional estimated $5,000 to upgrade,while the level of care would remain at its current ability for an additional two to four years. This additional$5,000 can be better used to ensure a better salary base for providing additional personnel that are ALS certified or training current career personnel to the level of ALS. 4 9gioyi6, EQUIPMENT LIST(Listing brands will not preclude applicant from having to obtain bids for the generic equipment types) (see instruction on opposite page) Priority uanti Description Cost #1 1 #920030 Heartstart 3000OR without $6,412.00 tape cassette recorder.

This was expanded in 1995 by 8.5 square miles of primary rural area consisting of mostly farm land and 4.5 miles of Interstate 25, including both frontage roads, and three miles of Colorado Highway 52. The district provides service for the town of Frederick Town of Firestone,unincorporated Evanston, 3 existing subdivisions, 5 existing industrial parks and populated small acre rural dwellings. Currently the district has over nine residential developments and four commercial developments that are presently under construction with several additional developments being proposed to the local governments. Population of the district is approximately 8,000. This is an increase of 23%in the last year alone, however, population served is substantially higher during peak hours of commuter traffic and business operations due to the high traffic volume of 1-25 and the large employee population of several Industrial plants in the district. Claritas Inc. projects an additional 16%increase in population in the existing town boundaries of Firestone and Frederick. This does not include the population growth of future annexations by the towns of land that is being planned for development and that already exists in the current FAFPD district boundaries. The same agency that has predicted a population growth with in the district has predicted an increase of 19%in the population of persons over the age of 40. Therefore, it is only reasonable to expect an increase in cardiac related calls. Average response times in the district are less than 5 minutes with the incorporation of the rapid response unit that is staffed with full time paid personnel twenty four hours a day and the completion of station 2 on the western edge of our district. The placement of both stations allows for no more than a 5 mile response to any area of the district. Tri-Area Ambulance District coexist as a tax district for part of our response area, and provides primary transport service to the rest of our district under special agreement,however,the largest portion of their total response area is to another fire district. Presently,Tri-Area Ambulance District only operates one full time ambulance. In the past it has provided an additional ambulance by the utilization of reserves and part time on call personnel, however, this service has been dissolved and they have made no indications of reestablishing this service. This decrease in transport service availability incorporated with increased call volume for our district and neighboring districts utilizing the same service, has increased the use of mutual aid transport agencies by 100% last year and another 100%from the year before. 13 99:04//6 EMS PROVIDER INFORMATION CONTINUED EMS VEHICLES OWNED BY YOUR AGENCY Write in the number of vehicles owned of each type in the age group.

The Census Bureau made these modifications to bring the 1990 data into conformity with race definitions established for government use by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) . Although Hispanic ethnicity was not subject to direct modification, the M.A.R.S. procedures resulted in occasional minor changes in the Hispanic count, so occasional but minor discrepancies with the original Hispanic counts may be observed. 1998 estimates and 2003 projections produced by Claritas Inc.

Copyright 1998 Claritas Inc. Arlington, VA 017/67 FREDERICK DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE POPULATION TRENDS AND CHARACTERISTICS • Colorado's population has grown significantly during the early 1990's. In fact, Colorado ranks as the fourth most rapidly growing state in the nation. Although experts predict Colorado's growth will continue at a slower rate in future years, it is still expected to grow at twice the national average. The bulk of the State's rise in population has occurred in the Front Range. Between 1990 and 1994, Weld County and the Town of Frederick grew 9.1% and 15.6% respectively. The Greeley / Weld County Economic Development Action Partnership, Inc. predicts that Weld County will continue to receive a significant share of Colorado's population elevation.

Around 24% of the population was of Hispanic Origin. Note that the United States Census Bureau defines origin as "ancestry, nationality, group, lineage or country of birth before one's arrival into the United States." Thus, people of Hispanic origin can be of any race. The sex distribution in Frederick is comparable to both the State and Weld County with 49% males and 51% females. 1 9r*yrlo In 1990, 988 people lived in Frederick. Of these, 72 people or 8% of the population were under 5 years old, roughly 27% were school age, 55% were working age and 10% were 65 or over. The 25 - 44 year olds -- those of prime childbearing ages -- comprise the largest age cohort. The size of this group suggests the number of children in Frederick may surge in coming decades. The next largest percentage of the Town's population is between 5 and 17. It is not surprising then, that the Saint Vrain Valley School District has and will continue to experience a rise in enrollment. Overall, Frederick has a young population with a median age of 31. This is slightly below the State median age of 32.5 because Frederick has a higher percentage of school age residents. The following graph illustrates the Town's age distribution as compared with Weld County and the State.

This will improve accessibility to the Denver International Airport and the Denver Metropolitan Area. • The new Denver International Airport should help encourage growth in northeastern Colorado. • Weld County officials are projecting moderate growth around the Del Camino area, this will create more jobs and thus attract more people to the area. • A major new factory outlet mall / mixed use development has been proposed near Dacono. However, there are a myriad of factors that may effect the Town of Frederick's population.

Under the moderate growth scenario , an average of 14 housing units will be added to the community annually , from 1990 to 2010. This is higher than the average of 11 units per year for the 1980s , but reflects a more rapid increase in population and a declining household size . III-19 99041/69 Hello
