86th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1

Administrator's Statement

Administrator’s Statement

July 27, 2018

Dear State Officials:

The Texas Commission on Fire Protection respectfully submits for consideration its FY2020-2021 Legislative Appropriations Request. The commission adheres to the

practice of prudent stewardship of the resources provided for its operations, and supports the statewide philosophy that agencies are to be efficient and accountable.

The commission has prepared its LAR in accordance with the instructions issued by the Governor’s Office and Legislative Budget Board .

A supplemental schedule has been submitted detailing how the agency would reduce the baseline request by ten percent if called upon to do so . Should this occur, it

would essentially be realized through a reduction in the agency’s workforce. This type of reduction would no doubt impact the ability of the Commission on Fire

Protection to fulfill its statutory duties, including compliance inspections, state testing, issuance and renewal of certifications, and management of the agency’s injury

reporting program.

The Commission reviews the programs in its budget strategies with the goal of ensuring that funds are utilized efficiently and for the intended purposes . Changes and

improvements to the agency’s data management system are ongoing with the current budget cycle, and additional changes will be implemented during the period of this

LAR. The changes are expected to significantly improve user experience for both the customer and agency personnel. Once fully implemented, the changes will provide

the Commission the opportunity to review its workflow, workload, and business processes with the goal of assigning resources to those areas that make the most sense

for the mission. Although the volume of work continues to expand for the Commission, it is anticipated that the increased efficiencies from the data system changes will

allow the organization to fulfill its mission with existing resources. As a result, no exceptional items are submitted with this LAR.

The agency is, however, requesting that consideration be given to eliminating a portion of a rider currently attached to its budget. The rider calls for the Commission on

Fire Protection to generate revenues to cover its appropriation, which includes its regular appropriation plus all other direct and indirect costs. The agency is of course

fully committed to continuing in its status as a “self-funded” organization, assuming that is the desire of the legislature. However, the rider also calls for the agency to

generate $1.5 million over and above the appropriated amount, and it is from this additional amount the agency seeks relief. The additional requirement places an

excessive burden on the agency’s budget and revenue-generating responsibility, and represents a requirement to generate revenue that is in no way associated with its

operations. Unfortunately the additional burden must then be passed on directly to the Texas fire service community in the form of unnecessarily high fees . This impacts

both fire protection organizations and individuals regulated by the Commission on Fire Protection . Elimination of the additional amount would also be compatible with the

principle of government transparency.

The state’s fire protection force regulated by the Commission continues to grow. As urban and suburban areas develop, existing fire departments add stations and

personnel. Areas served by all-volunteer fire departments also continue to grow and develop, and some of these departments will transition to paid or “combination”

(part paid, part volunteer) status, causing them to become subject to possible Commission oversight. Continued strong demand for credentials offered by the agency is

also anticipated during the upcoming biennium. Currently, certifications in 14 different disciplines and 41 levels are available to members of the fire service, with new

certifications under development as of this report.

411 Commission on Fire Protection

86th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1

Administrator's Statement

Persons wishing to obtain certification, and those who maintain certification with the Commission on Fire Protection are subject to statutory requirements regarding

criminal history. A criminal background check is required of any person applying for their first certification with the commission , or being appointed to duties for the first

time with any fire department. Other statutory language addresses criminal background issues for existing certificate holders. The commission’s authority to conduct

background checks is established in Chapter 419 of the Texas Government Code (commission’s enabling statute), in addition to §411.1236 and §411.1405 of the same code.

Rules adopted by the Commission regarding its authority are found in Title 37, Part 13, Chapter 403, Texas Administrative Code. Any adoptions, deletions, or revisions to

Commission rules are first reviewed by the Attorney General’s Office to ensure compliance with applicable statutes.

The commission looks forward to working with the Legislature in the upcoming session. As always, our mission and goal is to aid in the protection of lives and property

of Texas citizens through the development and enforcement of recognized professional standards for fire departments and fire protection personnel . We are committed to

the accomplishment of our mission through the delivery of efficient, cost effective, high quality services and oversight to the state’s fire service, in turn making Texas a

safer place for all.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Moore

Fire Safety Information & Educational Programs

Internal – Library training and reference materials are reviewed on a regular basis for potential updating or replacement with newer presentation formats. Injury reports are

received and reviewed regularly, and the information is incorporated into the injury reporting database. A comprehensive injury report is compiled each year and submitted

to the state fire marshal’s office for inclusion in its annual report.

External – Library resources are requested regularly, particularly by smaller departments, and by individuals doing research or developing training programs. As the

agency’s injury reporting program enters its eighth year of existence, the fire service is the beneficiary of significant statistical data regarding types of injuries, activities

during which injuries occur, the impact on fire department operations, and other valuable data.

Description – Pursuant to statutory provisions in Chapter 419 of the Texas Government Code, the Commission develops and enforces standards for fire protection entities

and personnel. The standards include requirements for certification, protective clothing and equipment, practices at emergency operations, and training programs. The

statute requires the Commission to conduct biennial inspections of regulated entities, and other types of inspections are also conducted during a given year to ensure

compliance with statute and established rules. State, federal, and volunteer organizations and individuals may opt to participate in the Commission’s program if they so

choose.

Justification – The Commission contributes to the safety and general benefit of citizens by enforcing standards for fire protection personnel professionalism , health, and

safety. Much of the statutory language, and many of the rules enforced by the Commission are based upon national standards developed by the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA), the federal government, and other organizations.

Certify and Regulate Fire Departments and Personnel

Internal – The Commission recently launched its new data management system, which significantly enhances the user’s experience and capabilities, including improvements

for both the external customer and agency staff. Additional improvements to the system are ongoing. New certifications were added to the Commission’s offerings,

providing additional professional development opportunities for personnel and organizations . The long-awaited online testing program was also recently launched,

allowing examinees to choose that format for taking their state exams if they wish. Currently, community college testing centers throughout the state are being utilized to

deliver online exams for the Commission.

External – The regulated population continues a pattern of steady growth. The Commission provides regulatory oversight to approximately 33,000 individuals, most of

whom are employed by one of the many types of fire protection entities in the state. At any given time, about 10% of those holding Commission credentials are not

associated with an organization, but still must satisfy certain requirements to maintain certification. As the state’s general population grows, existing fire departments

expand, new ones are established, and formerly all-volunteer departments are transitioning to paid or “combination” (part paid, part volunteer) status. Because of the

demand for credentialing from the fire service community, testing and certification activities remain strong. Discussions are ongoing regarding new certifications to be

developed by the commission.

GAA Proposed Rider Language

2 V-23 Appropriations Limited to Revenue Collections. Fees, fines, and other miscellaneous revenues as authorized

and generated by the operation of the Texas Commission on Fire Protection pursuant to Texas Government Code

§§419.025 and 419.026 shall cover, at a minimum, the cost of appropriations made above, as well as the amount

identified above in the information item “Other Direct and Indirect Costs Appropriated Elsewhere in this Act” in

addition to $1,500,000 over the biennium. "Other direct and indirect costs" are estimated to be $894,287 for

fiscal year 2018 and $888,408 for fiscal year 2019. In the event that actual and/or projected revenue collections

are insufficient to offset the costs identified by this provision, the Legislative Budget Board may direct that the

Comptroller of Public Accounts reduce the appropriation authority provided above to be within the amount of

revenue expected to be available.

The commission respectfully requests that the language specifying the $1,500,000 amount be struck from this rider.

The additional amount places an excessive burden on the agency’s budget and revenue generating responsibility

and represents a requirement to generate revenue that is in no way associated with the cost of agency operations.

Ultimately this additional cost must be passed on directly to fire departments and individuals statewide in the form

of unnecessarily high fees. The deletion of the additional amount would also be compatible with the principle of

transparency in government operations.

Attainment:

The agency attained or exceeded two of its three applicable HUB procurement goals in Fiscal Year 2016 and 2017.

B. Assessment of Fiscal Year 2016 - 2017 Efforts to Meet HUB Procurement Goals

51.7% 38.4%

The "Heavy Construction", "Building Construction", and "Special Trade" categories were not applicable to agency operations in either fiscal year 2016 or 2017

because the agency does not have any strategies or programs related to construction.

Applicability:

In fiscal years 2016 and 2017, the agency goals for "Other Services" were not met since the agency's few purchases in this category were limited and only available

through non-HUB vendors.

Factors Affecting Attainment:

The agency made the following good faith efforts to comply with statewide HUB procurement goals per 34 TAC, Sec. 20.13(d): ensured that contract specifications,

terms, and conditions reflected the agency's actual requirements, were clearly stated, and did not impose unreasonable or unnecessary contract requirements; provided

potential bidders with a list of certified HUBs for subcontractors; and prepared and distributed information on procurement in a manner that encouraged participation

in agency contracts by all businesses.

REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS:

Revenue received by the agency comes primarily from fees and fines collected from political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and special districts. The fire protection

organizations of these political subdivisions are required to pay the certification renewal fees for their personnel . Additional revenue comes from individuals, and

non-governmental entities such as private training providers.

Annual certification renewals represent the largest single source of revenue for the agency. This source is relatively stable from year to year…. a renewal fee will be received

for each certificate holder in the state. The number of certificate holders statewide continues to grow slowly but steadily. On the other hand, revenue from testing and

certification issuance fees, which are the other two primary revenue streams, is more variable and has the potential to fluctuate significantly over time.

It is also worth noting that only about 35 to 40 percent of the revenue from testing and certification issuance involves mandatory certifications, which are those certifications

required by statute for persons serving in particular paid fire protection positions. The other 60 to 65 percent of the revenue from these two activities is from what would be

considered voluntary, or professional development certifications. These certifications are not required, but are instead available as desired by fire departments or individuals.

To date, demand for professional development certifications remains strong, and the agency continues to develop and offer new ones over time.

REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS:

The Texas Commission on Fire Protection is the only organization in the state authorized to issue International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) credentials,

typically known as IFSAC seals. Individuals may obtain these seals in addition to state certification if desired. Currently the agency offers 21 IFSAC seals in various

disciplines. Historically between four and five thousand seals have been issued each year, with the fee for each seal currently at $15.

REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS:

The agency receives this revenue collected by TXDOT for specialty license plates. The funds are “pass-through” and are not utilized by the agency.

Following passage of the legislation creating the specialty plates, the agency was nominated to receive the revenue and then forward it to the License Plate Trust Fund

No.0802. This fund provides benefits to professional fire fighters and their dependents.

1 First 2.5 Reduction

Category: Programs - Service Reductions (FTEs-Layoffs)

Item Comment: The Commission would enact this 2½ % reduction in its base appropriation in the amount of $47,144 in general revenue expenses for each of the

fiscal years 2020 and 2021. This reduction would be accomplished through the loss of one full time employee in the agency’s testing program by way of a reduction

in force, attrition, or hiring freeze. It is anticipated that a reduction in an already limited workforce would hamper the agency’s ability to meet its mandated

performance measures, provide adequate services and oversight, and ultimately fulfill its mission. Although not a given, revenue generation could be negatively

impacted because of increased delays in fulfilling regulatory responsibilities such as certification issuance, renewal, and testing.
