6.1.B. - Page 4 <br /> Hon. Gerald J. Buchwald <br /> May 7, 2012 <br /> Page 2 <br /> alternative approaches to local fire protection all of the available options, <br /> including CAL FIRE should be considered. <br /> 2. Include local fire union representatives in community discussions concerning <br /> department consolidation, regionalization or replacement; make financial <br /> considerations and differing expense models known to all concerned parties and <br /> citizens. <br /> The City agrees with the findings and the recommendations have been <br /> implemented. The Cities of Redwood City and San Carlos created a hybrid fire <br /> service model to reduce costs for both cities. Under the agreement Redwood City <br /> provides command staff oversight to the San Carlos Fire Department. Redwood <br /> City involved local fire union representatives in community discussions <br /> concerning the hybrid model. Financial considerations and differing expense <br /> models were made known to all concerned parties and citizens. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Alicia C. Aguirre, Mayor <br /> City of Redwood City <br />
