doo6-(J7 <br />q/a7/o6 <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator <br />FROM: John King, Director f <br />Department ofEmer e y Services <br />DATE: April 281 2006 <br />SUBJECT: Training Partnership Agreement Between Indian River Community College and Indian <br />River County Emergency Services District <br />Indian River Community College (IRCC) has provided instructional support to the Department of <br />Emergency Services for many years. The attached Training Partnership Agreement (TPA) allows for <br />the Fire Division's training staff to use teaching materials owned by IRCC Fire Academy for the <br />career development of firefighters. The TPA provides for IRCC to pay the County $15,500.00 for <br />instructional support, and the County reimburses IRCC the $15,500.00 for employee enrollment in <br />the program. It should be noted that employees are not earning college credit towards a degree <br />program; however, the employees do earn recognition from the College, in the form of <br />"Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory" grades, for participation in the Department's in-house training activities. <br />IRCC has about 60 similar contracts within the four -county region for various career development <br />activities. Within our organization, the greatest benefit is that the Department's Training Division has <br />access to a large training library. Additionally, the Department uses this recognized training to <br />support the preservation of this community's Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the approval of the Training Partnership Agreement with Indian River Community <br />College. rj <br />Approved.."Ic <br />Doseph ..
