Council approves ESO personnel-management module to track fire/EMS training ahead of ISO review
Summary
The council approved a prorated purchase for a personnel management module within the department's ESO software to document training, certifications and credentials — a capability staff said is critical for an upcoming ISO inspection.
The council approved a prorated $544 addition to the Tuttle Fire Department's existing ESO software to unlock the personnel-management module; the full annual cost cited for the module was about $894 for subsequent years.
Fire department leadership told the council the module will let staff document training and credentials electronically rather than relying on paper records. The department emphasized the module's relevance to an imminent ISO inspection (ISO evaluates fire protection and influences property-insurance ratings), telling the council that documentation of training and personnel readiness is a major portion of the ISO score.
Staff said the module is a relatively modest, one-time prorated cost for 2025 and will be budgeted in full for 2026. Council members approved the purchase unanimously and asked staff to proceed with configuration and migration of historical training records into the system.
