MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br /> In response to Councilman Hartnett's request to schedule the discussion of $500,000 <br /> unexpended General Fund money to be used for public safety, City Manager Everett advised <br /> that the Financial Report scheduled for the next Council Meeting, on December 19, 1994, <br /> included that subject, and Council would be able to discuss it at that time. <br /> MEMO 12/13/94 <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />7. STAFF REPORTS <br /> A Feasibility Study for the Consolidation of the Redwood City Fire Department and Menlo <br /> Park Protection District (702-02) <br /> REPORT: Fire Chief, November 21, 1994 <br /> Fire Chief Fink presented the staff report and described the purposes of a consolidation: <br /> increase services and reduce costs. Chief Fink advised that one Fire Chief instead of two <br /> and three Battalion Chiefs instead of six would result in a significant savings. Chief Fink <br /> described the process and preliminary results the study would produce, and emphasized <br /> that only a win/win proposal for all entities would be considered. In response to Council <br /> questions, Chief Fink explained that he had not asked for the fire department personnel's <br /> involvement in this effort yet because he was waiting for Council direction before <br /> proceeding. Chief Fink guaranteed that if the Council approved the feasibility study <br /> Redwood City Fire Department personnel would definitely be involved in the process. <br /> Chief Fink described the trend towards regionalization and the state's desire to eliminate <br /> special districts, adding that not all entities are ready to consolidate now, but Redwood <br /> City and Menlo Park Protection District are ready to study the issue. <br /> Regular Meeting Minutes MINUTE BOOK NO. 52 <br /> December 12, 1994 Page No. 461 <br /> Page 3 <br /> --,._~--'"""------ ---------""-------------'----,,,-- .-..,----.--------- ~ -- ------,-- <br />
