CityCouncil | 2013-12-03 | 4 | Department benchmark measures and response time for ambulance services under the Fire Department. Ms. Hetrick stated the ambulance response time is already incorporated under Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response time. Mayor Gilmore inquired if ambulances and Fire trucks are dispatched at the same time on a priority one call. The Acting Deputy Fire Chief responded in the affirmative; stated both a Fire engine and ambulance are dispatched, although not necessarily from the same station; in a worse-case scenario, if all of Alameda's ambulances are dispatched, the responder would be Paramedics Plus, which is dispatched from the County. Councilmember Chen requested a breakdown of the response times. The Acting Deputy Fire Chief stated a breakdown would be included. Councilmember Chen inquired if a public survey which rates road and sidewalk conditions could be added, to which the Public Works Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Chen inquired whether the overall rating of the Permit Center could be included as a line item, to which Ms. Hetrick responded in the affirmative. In response to Councilmember Chen's inquiry, Ms. Hetrick stated the Library tracks the number of new library cards issued. Councilmember Chen inquired why a measure is not included under Alameda Point that tracks the percent change in number of tenants. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded tracking the change in number of tenants has not been proposed because tenants would leave since the goal is to ultimately tear down the buildings to redevelop the property. The City Manager stated there is a difference between a measure and a goal; recommended Councilmember Chen have a conversation with the Chief Operating Officer to frame a different method of addressing his concern regarding Alameda Point leasing. Councilmember Daysog stated paying down Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) should be tracked. Mayor Gilmore stated that she would like to add a list of examples of quality of life service requests under Public Works and add a measure about the rate at which the City adopts or deploys new technology under Information Technology (IT).
