TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Tim Franz, Fire Chief
DATE: December 2, 2016
RE: Request to Renew Agreement to Provide Personnel to the State of Wisconsin Structural
Collapse Team
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh has had an agreement with the State Office of Emergency Management since 2012
to provide personnel to respond to incidents involving structural collapses from incidents such as
tornadoes, explosions and terrorist incidents. The State has developed a statewide team made up of
members from career fire departments throughout the state. This agreement outlines the
responsibilities and provisions of our participation in this State sponsored team.
ANALYSIS
This agreement allows for our personnel to receive training and be available to respond as member of
this team. The State of Wisconsin provides the direction, equipment and training for this team and we
through this agreement supply our personnel. The State assumes all liability in operating and
Workmen's compensation for our personnel and reimburses the City $45.00 per hour for their service.
Funding for training is directly from the State, in the event of a response, the State would pursue
disaster declaration funds, a responsible party or State funds for reimbursement. The trained personnel
would respond on or off duty and we retain the right to refuse their response if it negatively impacts
the emergency response capability of the City at the time.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed rate of reimbursement at $45.00 per hour is $.07 per hour below the City's cost of our
personnel when they are on overtime. Although at this rate it does cost the City $.07 per hour, I believe
the value of the training and experience our people receive is greater than this cost. We have nine
personnel with the team at this time with a limit of ten members, therefore our maximum cost is $12.60
per year. The State covers all training cost and they do this as a reimbursement after the fact and have
been historically prompt. There could be a delay of months to receive reimbursement in the event of a
response and a very low possibility of no reimbursement if there is not a disaster declaration,
responsible party declared or State funds allocated. There is no other cost or liabilities for the City with
this program.
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5002 http://www.ci,oshkosh.wi.us
RECCOMMENDATION
I recommend that we renew our agreement and supply personnel to the State Structural Collapse
Team. In the event of large scale disasters we can provide and receive the appropriate resources to
adequately respond. This is a resource that no single city or fire department can develop and sustain on
their own, but together working through the State we can provide this valuable resource. In addition to
this we will have personnel receive this special training at minimal cost to us, that they can share with
the rest of our department and enhance the level of service we are providing locally. Please direct any
question regarding this matter to the Fire Chief.
Respectfully Submitted,

obligations in Contractor's own jurisdiction.
Contractor and Division agree that WI -TF1 or components of the task force may be
utilized for any incident for which its members are trained and qualified, including wide
area search incidents. It is recognized that the Statewide Structural Collapse team created

response actions, upon receipt of an emergency response request pursuant to Standard
