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.
