OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE <br /> <br />This section will review the ongoing administrative issues and meetings during the <br />month. This includes meetings, policy issues, ordinance changes, and personnel issues. <br />And, this also includes meetings of a county wide, regional, and/or statewide basis on <br />public safety related issues. <br /> <br />Public Safety recently received notice from Ford that all ten of its Ford Police Interceptor <br />SUVs require service attention to address a reported carbon monoxide issue. Other <br />jurisdictions have claimed carbon monoxide is entering the passenger space through <br />various intrusions, causing illness in police officers. New Brighton has previously <br />monitored for carbon monoxide but did not record any levels inside the vehicles. The <br />service process requires each vehicle to be returned to the dealership for visual inspection <br />so that appropriate parts can be ordered. Once the parts have arrived, each SUV must <br />then be brought back to complete the actual repair. <br /> <br />Office Supervisor Julie Forbord, Office Assistant Gina Krahn, and Director Paetznick <br />attended a meeting of the four law enforcement agencies who share the joint Zuercher <br />police records management system (RMS), including Mounds View, Maplewood, and the <br />Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. A representative from Saint Paul PD was also in <br />attendance to discuss their agency joining the system in mid-2018. <br /> <br />Public Safety and the City Water Department recently completed an ISO evaluation <br />which rates the ability of a fire service to provide fire suppression. Staff was advised <br />they will not hear the results of the survey for approximately five months. The City of <br />New Brighton currently has an ISO rating of 3 which places it in the top 5% of fire <br />departments in the State of Minnesota. <br /> <br />October was a busy month in New Brighton for our partners at Allina Health with 193 <br />total ambulance runs, including 127 emergent incidents. The average response time was <br />7 minutes 34 seconds to these emergency medical calls. <br /> <br />The last two of Public Safety’s Ford Crown Victoria police squad cars were recently sold <br />at auction. The department had used this model of rear-wheel drive sedans for more than <br />20 years. The most recent ones were purchased in 2011 and according to City Mechanic
