At the Dec. 8th meeting two alternatives were suggested by Hardy as possible solutions to the fire protection controversy. would add two Alternative additional firefighters who would work day shifts, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. These firefighters would be assigned to the headquarters station and the two firefighters assigned to Station 2 that report to headquarters now would report to Station 2. This would eliminate the need to bring Station 2 firefighters down to headquarters during the daytime hours, except for unfilled shifts, some training, and fire or ambulance responses involving more than one unit. The cost for adding two more firefighters to work in this manner would be approximately $1(X),(MX) per year, which includes overtime, standby, sick leave, vacation, training, uniforms and regular employee benefits, Hardy said. 1 Alternative 2 would add six more firefighters, which would provide a new shift for the headquarters station. This would eliminate both daytime and evening use of Station 2 personnel for ambulance calls, including the second ambulance call, and would allow training, maintenance, and fire protection to occur without having to call Station 2 personnel down to headquarters. In addition, the city would have more manpower on duty for major incidents, both medical and fire, during any one time. The cost of this alternative would be approximately $300,(XX3 per year, covering all of the employee expenses, Hardy added. "It should be pointed out that it will be increasingly difficult to find personnel to fill in the additional leave that will be generated by six additional firefighters, but it will also provide a significantly enhanced service to the citizens. The council will continue to discuss the solutions. Is your child 4 to 5 years old starting kindergarten this coming fall?
