Public Safety Committee Report on recommendations regarding a fire station in Redwood Shores. Consideration of the recommendations will take place at the regular Council meeting of April 15, 1996. (205) Councilwoman Buchan, Chairperson of the Council Public Safety Committee, reported that the Committee met in its second public meeting on March 12, 1996 to study Fire Department service issues. At the conclusion of the meeting the Committee voted unanimously to make the following recommendations to the full Council to be discussed at the April 15, 1996 Council meeting: "1. We recommend that we build a Fire Station in Redwood Shores. 2. The new Fire Station will be staffed using current Fire Department personnel. 3. The minimum daily staffing of the Fire Department will be nineteen (19) personnel. 4. The City Council should decide when and how to implement during the course of our budget deliberations." Councilwoman Buchan advised that the issue of a temporary station in Redwood Shores would be discussed along with the above recommendations at the regular Council Meeting of April 15, 1996. In response to questions, Councilwoman Buchan said the Committee discussed timelines without setting specific times and it was her feeling it would probably be about two years, around the beginning of 1998. She said the whole Council needed to discuss that issue. Mayor Hartnett, member of the Public Safety Committee, stated that the "Committee recommendations did not include timelines because the discussion revolved around the full Council discussing the recommendations in light of operations and the capital improvement budget." Also, "there was some discussion about the possibility, not a recommendation, but a possibility of establishing the budget so that the design was done in the upcoming fiscal year and the construction would commence the following fiscal year."
