Council Member Hatt.away urged everyone to attend Mrs. Halley's 100th birthday
celebration on March 2.
(111) Council Me11ber Wiggins asked for a status report on the
lease purchase for the fire truck. Mr. Fraser advised that staff was checking
into financing alternatives which may ~ake better sense than those proposed by
the aanufacturer. Mr. Fraser will 11ake a rec0t1111endation on this ■attar at the
next regular Council Meeting (March 5, 1990). It is estimated tha truck will
be ready for delivery late August/early Septe11ber.
(iv) Council Metnber Habenicht b,ought forward two !teas:
(I) She proposed, at the urging of several citizens, to consider expanding
the stze of The Citizen In order to nclude 110re lnforutlon about various
Issues which are of concern to the citizens. Discussion ensued, and the mat-
ter will be considered .
(Z) Council Mlllber Habenicht explained her concerns with the closure of the
Federal Fire Station. Ms. Habenicht stated that the difference of opinion
centers on the Importance of volume as opposed to geography and desired
response tline. She felt that until the Fire Service Comaittee aakes their
rec011111end1tlons everything should remain status quo, and in the lntert ■ City
Council should find a w1y to keep the Federal Fire Station open. She noted she
had been approached by several citizens In support of her stand. Ms.
Habenicht encouraged input on ways to l11prove the slow response t1ae In the
Engltwod C1ty Council N1nut1s
February 20, 1190 -Pap 4
northeast qua r ter of the City . One solution, brought to her attention, wa.s to
explore the possibility of relocating the Jefferson Fire Station near the
Swedish complex east of Broadway and north of 285 and working out some type of
public/private ownership.
Council Member Hathaway stated she would support a resolution or motion to
direct staff to find a way to keep the Federal Fire Station open until April.
At which ti• they would be armed with the findings of the Fire Services
Delivery C0t1111ittee and additional statistics to assist Council In ■&king their
final decision . Ms. Hathaway noted that she understood the Greater Englewood
Chamber of Conrnerce, Governmental Aff airs Connlttee, had drafted a Jetter
staling they would like to see the Federal Fire Stat i on closed.
City Manager Fraser stated in order t? keep the Federal Fire Statton and both
of the rescue units open a daily work force of 21 is needed. The current
dally manning level Is 18. Two to three additional personnel would be
required. If Council chose to authorize overtime, the cost would be between
SlZ -$14,0O0 a day, assuming there are just three positi ons to make up.
Discussion ensued regarding manning levels .
Council Member Kcltay questioned If they would be able to provide the same
level of service, without the transport funct i on, if men were moved from
rescue and placed on trucks.
Cll.y H<1nager Fraser stated t hat, minus the transport function, 18 would be
capable of maintaining all f -0 ur stations; i f the paramedic vehlcl!s were not
running , pumper trL , woul d carry first r~sponse P.qulpment.
01scusston ensued .

Council Members Hathaway and Habenicht reiterated their concerns .
Council Member Clayton stated he was opposed to the or1g1nal ootion, but If it
did pass he would want to allow the Fire Depart.nent to detennlne which vehicle
should be tlosed down as the department tries to fi nd ways to continue to
provide the best service with !h!ir available resource s.
Council Member Habenicht stated that her intent was to change a policy
decision Council had made, noth i ng 110re .
Counc il Member Hath~way stated that by shutting down th e other rescue vehicle
she could justify tl.o overtiaie costs to her constituents.

Council Netlber Clayton urged defeat of the original aotion as he felt the
motion was based on fear, ignorance ~nd t Ptccurate perceptions instead of
reality and fact.
Council Melllber Habenicht responded to Hr. Clayton's corrments, disagreeing with
his 1ssess111nts and stating she was attempting to keep the service level the
same for everyone until rec-ndatlons ,re eade by the Fire Service Delivery
c-1ttee.
Council Metllber Koltay stated he would be voting against the motion. He was
opposed to shuffl In',! manpower, truck niabers, etc. Mr. Koltal· noted that the
City Manager had stated we could give good fire response froe every station If
rescues weren't eanned. He noted It was Council that voted to man rescues and
by rescinding that decision all the problet11s would be solved.
