The building was being be-ing vacated for use as a fire station, the purpose it was originally built for. Council Member Marisa Wright took a moment during Finance Fi-nance Director Rebecca Tehero's budget presentation to comment. Tehero was saying that the budget bud-get projections didn't reflect the whole cost of adding paramedics and would have to be revised. "The most important thing you can go home with tonight is the knowledge that paramedics paramed-ics are going to be moving into this building," Wright told the Scouts, which cuts response time way flown. "In an emergency, seconds matter," she said, which makes any increased costs worth it. She was echoing something Lone Peak Fire Chief Brad Freeman Free-man said in an earlier meeting. He said that he had never heard residents object to paying higher taxes for adding paramedics and firefighters. The new city offices are in the Lexington Heights complex, 4587 Cedar Hills Drive (kitty-corner through the roundabout from Walmart). City Manager Konrad Hil-debrandt Hil-debrandt said the city will hold an open house April 23, the same day as the Easter Egg Hunt, which will be at "11 o'clock, not 11:01" he said, adding that residents should be there "more like 10:45." |
