WHEREAS, the City of Medina ("City") is served by four different fire departments, all facing
challenges with recruiting and retention issues of paid on call fire fighters, capital project needs, and needs for
full-time staffing; and
WHEREAS, the City has documented future costs for fire services that exceed the City's budgetary
expectations for the future; and
WHEREAS, the City has recognized a need to seek advice from an expert in fire services to
evaluate the City's current fire services and present options for the future fire service ("the Study");
and
WHEREAS, the data and results of the study will be shared across the State to be used by
other jurisdictions facing similar fire service issues; and
WHEREAS, the State Fire Marshal Service Planning Grant Program can provide a potential
funding opportunity for the City to complete the Study; and

approximately $50,000, which the City is prepared to pay the required 10 percent match.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina that

the Study upon receipt of grant funding.
