Community based business invest in the
future of our ,,,,youth.
Businesses that Invest in the youth workforce for upkeep or repairs on their businesses, get to
write their repairs off as a donation along with the materials it cost for those repairs to be done
through our non-profit training workforce.
The club does the repairs; and it becomes a win-win situation; because the youth get the
experience to become certified and employed and the businesses get the labor and the write off.
Provide subsidies and tax breaks to large sustainable companies giving them an initiative to come
into Cloverdale, by offering them our trained and sustainable workforce.
Incentives for HUD/HEAP/HABITAT FOR HUMANITY/PROPERTY MANAGEMENT to improve
properties through the Workforce,

green workforce they get to be listed as our partners, which in turn brings them more publicity
and patrons; a way to make others feel good about where they put their money, people want to
know that while they're (hopefully) profiting from wise selections, they're also saving the world
by providing a healthy environment for future generations.

Re: Change to State Fire Training’s EMT-I Training Program
State Fire Training regrets to announce that a recent legal interpretation from the EMS Authority will limit the scope of our EMT-I Training program to fire safety personnel only. Currently anyone can attend our EMT-I Basic and/or refresher courses; however, we only certify as EMTs those individuals with a fire
service affiliation.
Effective July 1, 2009, only fire safety personnel can receive a State Fire Training EMT-I course completion certificate.
“Fire safety personnel” is defined as an individual who is employed by a fire department, fire district, or special district. In this interpretation, volunteer fire fighters performing suppression/prevention duties are to be considered employees.
What this means for instructors:
Verification must be made in advance of the class that students are fire safety personnel.
If non-fire safety personnel are to attend the class, approval of the training program must also be obtained through the local EMS Agency and those students would receive a locally approved course completion certificate in lieu of a State Fire Training course completion certificate.
In addition to this change, we also want to remind instructors that we have adopted Pearson’s Emergency Care, 11th Edition as our EMT curriculum. State Fire Training registered instructors may obtain an instructor guide by contacting Al Bricker with Pearson Publishing and providing him with your instructor
number. He can be contacted via phone at (970) 356-1002 or via email at alan.bricker@pearson.com.
If you have any questions regarding the information contained in this notice, please contact Christy Owen, Manager of Certification and Registration at (916) 327-2129.

County residents will drive 23 miles per person per day in 2035, up from 17 miles per day
in 2006, the forecast said. Congestion will worsen, with people stuck in traffic for 30 hours
per person a year, compared with 26 hours in 2006.
Zane disputed those estimates, questioning whether ABAG considered the impact of the
Cloverdale to Larkspur commuter train, known as SMART, scheduled to begin running in
2014. The 70-mile train route, with bicycle lanes and buses tied in, is intended to reduce
congestion. “I think that’s what we’re all hoping for,” Zane said. Road dust will increase,
as well, with 6.45 tons emitted per day in 2035, up from 5.14 tons in 2006, the forecast
said.
With 3,000 more residents expected by 2035, Cloverdale’s projected 34
percent growth rate is twice that of larger cities like Santa Rosa and
Petaluma and nearly three times the rate forecast for the county as a
whole.
