Stephen G. Mizroch
It is an honor and privilege to re -apply for the position of Fire Commissioner on the San
Rafael Fire Commission. When I first applied for this position in 1992, though naive to
the intricacies of the Fire Department, I sought the position to become educated enough
to serve and support the best interests of the Department. These years of experience have
been extremely valuable to me personally and I hope of some utility to and support for
the Fire Department and the City of San Rafael.
If re -appointed, I would seek to support Chief Montenero in promoting the continued
success of the Department. The Fire Department continues to provide a superb level of
service to the city not only in fire suppression, quality paramedic services, but also a
variety of community enrichment programs. As a physician leader in the county, I will
continue to advocate for enhanced Fire Department recognition and support... particularly
the need for Paramedic Tax enhancement.

San Rafael, CA 94915-1560
Dear Mr. Mayor & Council Members:
It is my pleasure to apply for and to earn an appointment as a Commissioner to the San Rafael
Fire Commission.
I have been active in City of San Rafael sponsored Civic Activities for the last four years since
returning to Marin. My professional background is in local government redevelopment. In other
communities, I have been appointed to the City of Loma Linda Historic Commission (oldest CA
Mission), acted as Staff Manager of City of Upland's CDBG program to guide members of the
Upland Community Block Grant Commission (included special HUD regulation review/funding of a
Thermal Imaging Camera for the Upland Fire Department and related Programs), and I have
sought/ implemented two state funded tree grants and regional bikeway grants and two
environmental assessment and clean-up grants for other cities. Presently, I serve as an Alternate
to San Rafael's Parks and Recreation Commission.
I have participated and graduated from both the San Rafael Citizens Police Academy and the Fire
Academy. In Richmond, I serve on the City's Emergency Operations Center team as a
department representative and assisted in the operation of a first emergency drill in over ten
years. In San Rafael, I am a North San Rafael DART Steering Executive Committee member.
Other members of this team include SRFD's PIO and volunteer DART trainers. I have experience
working with State OES and joint EOC related training and functions.
My desire to serve the Fire Commission is to seek enhancement of San Rafael's facilities,
programs and services that improve the quality of life.
Regards,
raig f . urray

Attn.: Ms. Jeanne M. Leoncini, City Clerk
City Hall, Room 209
1400 Fifth Avenue
San Rafael, CA 94901
Dear Ms. Leoncini:
This letter is to inform you that I highly recommend Mr. Craig Murray for a
position on the City of San Rafael Fire Commission. In the two years that I
have known Craig, he has worked diligently to improve our Emergency
Operations Center.
Since October, 2004, he has regularly participated as a staff member in the
Richmond Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Craig assists in the
coordination of training events and serves in the EOC by staffing an
assignment in the Planning/Intelligence section. He developed the
Emergency Operation Plan for his department, the Community & Economic
Development Agency. This plan is used during Richmond EOC drills and in
anticipation of a city-wide emergency.
This past year, he participated in the following training with the State Office of
Emergency Services:
• Public Assistance Training and Outreach: Marin County OES Office — September 20,
2005. Received training in understanding proclamations, disaster assistance,
preliminary damage assessments and hazard mitigation.
RICHMOND FIRE DEPARTMENT
1401 MARINA WAY SOUTH
RICHMOND, CA 94804
TELEPHONE (510) 307-8041
FAX (510) 307-8048
• Environmental, Historical and Debris Removal: Richmond City Council Chambers —
September 21, 2005. Craig coordinated with State OES representatives to offer this
requisite course and training in Richmond. This benefited city of Richmond EOC
personnel and employees from other jurisdictions within Contra Costa County and the
greater Bay Area. Received training in identifying debris types and disaster
characteristics, qualifying contracts and public assistance in the Stafford Act and
FEMA 44 CFR and State Title 19 Regulations.
Individual Assistance and Local Assistance Center: Training received included
general information about local emergency proclamations, levels of disaster
assistance, guide for decision makers in establishing a LAC under the five functions
within the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) — Management,
Planning, Operations, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. Further training received
on disaster legislation, declarations and designations, the coordination of damage
assessments, various federal disaster assistance and loan types, federal recovery
programs and local government examples of recent California LACs.
The above training gives city staff an understanding of how to maximize
state and federal funding following disasters.
• Applied, received and managed two EPA grants totaling $1.5 million to assess and
clean up contaminated Richmond properties.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(510) 307-8041.
Sincerely,
Michael Banks
Interim Fire Chief
