Approve Renewal Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services with Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for Fire Fighter Training by Learey Technical Center, 2006/2007 (Adult Technical Education)

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue has requested renewal of the Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services to provide training for their employees. Learey Technical Center successfully initiated training for Hillsborough County fire fighters in 1991 through an Interlocal Agreement for Educational Services with the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners. Annually 12,000 hours of training is provided to approximately 850 Hillsborough County fire department employees in the areas of fire fighting science and techniques as well as emergency medical procedures.

A continuation agreement has been developed with the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for the period July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007. This Interlocal Agreement is mutually beneficial for continuation of necessary fire fighter sciences training in Hillsborough County.

All District Goals and Critical Success Factors

This item is included in the divisional general operating budget. The training programs provided for the Hillsborough County fire fighters generate Workforce Education Funds.

Evaluation will be based on an analysis of the number of fire fighters trained and the number of the Occupational Completion Points earned by June 30, 2007.
