Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the authority to contract for services to validate, codify, develop and provide ongoing consultation and training for the City of San Luis, San Luis Fire Department, base hospital and State of Arizona’s policies, department guidelines, procedures and protocols.  (Hank Green, Fire Chief)

The San Luis Fire Department (SLFD) is requesting authority to contract with LEXIPOL to review, edit, suggest, update and validate our department guidelines (SLFD policies and procedures) to insure compliance and compatibility with the City of San Luis policies and procedures, base hospital protocols, Arizona Regulations and best practices of the Fire Service, as accepted by the Fire Service.

LEXIPOL will provide SLFD with a set of defensible policies and training, delivered through a unique, web-based development system, similar to the existing SAFE-PERSONNEL program already in place at the City of San Luis.  LEXIPOL offers state-specific policy manuals, regular policy updates and daily scenario based training against these policies.

The San Luis Police Department is already a user of this service, SLFD is requesting to subscribe to their services.

There are two (2) separate contracts, one (1) for the initial review, validation and set up of SLFD Department Guidelines and one (1) for the ongoing validation of guidelines and the continuous training and record keeping of this training.  These costs are reflected in the attached contracts and documentation.  We will request authorization to pay $6,600.00 from 100-182-80000; Fire Department Contractual Services and $7,261.00 from 340-341-80000; Ambulance Services Contractual Services.
