The SFPD Strategic Plan

The Sunshine Fire Protection District Board initiated a strategic planning process in mid-2023 to document current conditions, consider trends and future needs, and guide the direction and priorities of the District. The last plan was developed in 1985!   It is the Board’s desire to develop a roadmap for the District that reflects the values of the Sunshine community and considers the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the District.

Financial & Capital Investment Priorities: Consider revenue sources including fundraising, grants, dispatch program and priorities for capital investments.
Sam Mishkin - lead

 

Service Priorities: Consider service level priorities across SFPD services, including medical, structure fires, wildland fires, vehicle crashes, and all-hazard.
Pat Noyes – lead


Organization Structure & Staffing Priorities: Consider staffing options including training, certifications, paid employees, dispatch program, merging with other districts, and the need for non-responder volunteers.
Jean Gatza – lead


Apparatus Priorities: This team will update apparatus plan to reflect the current apparatus, and consider the future needs and costs of apparatus.
