2. Discussion regarding Regional Fire Authority
Fire Chief Dave Willson briefed Council on the Regional Fire Authority (RFA) feasibility study.
He introduced Martin Goughnour of Emergency Services Consulting International who assisted
in preparing the feasibility study. Mr Goughnour noted this is a regional plan, which allows
growth rather than a single agency in the confines of a city boundary that requires assistance
from neighboring jurisdictions. The Planning Committee will decide the next step and when to
take it to their respective elected officials.
Other Business: Council Member Lover noted he would like CDBG funding to be utilized for 5
or 6 swims for the SE Community Center day camp as they have 75 -100 kids attending. The
funding could be transferred to Parks and Recreation to pay for private swimming fees and
bypass some administrative: fees. He will bring this forward at the next Council meeting.
