Our Services
Public Sector Management Group (PSMG) provides services designed to support public agencies operating within complex governance and service delivery environments. Our focus is on improving organizational alignment and assisting agencies in addressing long-range challenges.
Regional Fire Protection Models and Consolidations
Many communities are reevaluating how fire protection services are organized and delivered. Regional models—including joint powers authorities, special district reorganizations, contract service arrangements, and shared dispatch systems—can improve service levels while stabilizing long-term costs.
Our Approach: Public Sector Management Group assists agencies in evaluating regional service delivery options, facilitating discussions between agencies, and developing implementation strategies for consolidation or shared service models. Our experience includes working with municipalities, fire districts, and JPAs to design governance structures and operational frameworks that support long-term service sustainability.
Executive Coaching and Leadership Development
Strong leadership is essential to the long-term success of public organizations. For more than twenty-five years, Randall Bradley has mentored and coached public sector executives including city managers, special district general managers, fire chiefs, and department heads.
Focus: Coaching focuses on real-world leadership challenges including organizational culture, governance relationships, decision-making, and professional development.
Builder & Developer Services
Builders and developers often face complex fire and life-safety requirements that can significantly affect project design, cost, and approval timelines. Early identification of these issues and effective coordination with fire departments and other public agencies can help avoid delays and identify practical solutions.
Our Approach: Public Sector Management Group works with builders and developers to navigate fire and life-safety requirements, Wildland-Urban Interface considerations, fire department access, water supply and fire-flow issues, and other public-safety requirements associated with development projects.
Our experience working within local government and the fire service provides clients with a practical understanding of how public-safety agencies evaluate development proposals and apply regulatory requirements. We help identify potential issues, evaluate options, and support productive communication between project teams and reviewing agencies.
Our focus is on practical problem-solving—helping builders and developers understand public-safety requirements, address concerns early, and move projects forward while meeting the needs of both the project and the community.
Fire Department Evaluations and Community Risk Analysis
Public Sector Management Group provides independent evaluations of fire department operations and service delivery systems to help agencies identify opportunities to improve service effectiveness.
Services Include: Standards of Cover studies, Municipal Service Reviews (MSR), community risk reduction assessments, development impact consultations, and long-range financial forecasting.

Strategic Planning for Cities, Counties and Special Districts
Traditional strategic planning processes often require extensive workshops and time commitments that can be difficult for smaller cities and special districts.
Streamlined Process: We utilize a streamlined strategic planning model designed specifically for governance-driven organizations. This scalable approach allows boards and leadership teams to establish clear strategic direction through brief interviews and leadership reviews, without the need for lengthy workshop processes.
Emergency Medical Services System Design
Emergency medical services systems across California are evolving as agencies seek to improve patient care, strengthen financial sustainability, and enhance system accountability.
Our Impact: We provide strategic guidance to agencies exploring new EMS delivery models, including regional ambulance authorities, public-private partnerships, and system performance improvements. Our experience includes the development of an innovative regional EMS delivery system that integrates multiple fire agencies with a private ambulance provider under a unified governance structure.
