led "to the ult im ate phasing out and sale of the snorkel truck•; and
statistical data that wou l d support the need to purchase the ladder truck,
purchase of which was originally approved at Council's budget retreat In 1988,
but later denied by the then Act i ng City Manager .

with recommendations that would address the ladder truck, rescue, location of
fire stations and all of the other diverse issues.

made to a fire in a building with more than three stories. City Manager
Fraser explained that we depend on the Mutual Aid Agreement, to provide us
with certain types of apparatus and manpower to assist us In the event of an
emergency.
Council Member Kozatek stated that the City is undergoing an evaluation by the
Insurance Commission. He expressed his concern that wi th fire trucks
frequently out of serv ic e, a fire station being shut down temporarily, a
paramedic unit that goes out of service temporarily, we will be reclassified,
which will result in higher insurance rates city-wide .
Mr. Fraser confirmed that there were no funds allocated in 1989 or funds
identifi ed in 1990 for purchase of a ladder truck.
Discussion ensued.

Delivery Committee), of which he Is a member, was dlr~cted to study the
problems of the delivery of the fire service for six months and then report
t he co nclusions and recommendations to City Council . He expressed deep
concern about delaying this decision to 1991 .
Discussion ensued regarding the time schedule for reviewing the committee's
recommendations .

Department and joining the Castlewood Fire District .

campaigning for City Council the citizens expressed the following opinions:
-they do not want any reductions 1n the Fire and Police
Departments
-very upset over City Council's health and dental plan
• upset over the direction City Council and the Administration
appear to be headed.
Hr. Wiggins urged Council to listen to the voice of the cit i zens and resc i nd
the plans to make cuts in the Police and Fire Departments.
(b) William Haidon concurred with Hr . Wiggins ' collll!!!nts. He provided
Council with copies of a document he previously filed with the Ci ty Clerk and
commented he had not had a response. Hr. Haidon questioned why the ladder
company , which had been approved i n 1988 by City Council, had not been
purchased .
Di scussion ensued . Mr. Ha i don was assured the matter would be researched .
(c) Gary Dounay expressed concern over the present administration's
decision not to replace the ladder truck and other cuts in the Fire
Department. He felt it imperat i ve for the city to have a ladder truck based
on dangerous Incidents wh i ch have occurred 1n the metro area and which could
occur in Englewood . He also expressed concern ove r cuts i n the Police
Department . Hr . Dounay suggested Council reev1Juate their position on this
matter .
Counci l Member Clayton stated he felt the Council should ~ake the i r decision
for the long-tenn, not the short-term, based on the rec011111endations of the
Fire Service Del i very Comm i ttee, Chief Stanley and Chief Olson.

Assoc!atlon, lodged their formal objection t the final reading and acceptance
of the budget as It stands now . He also inquired as to the date of the

(f) Selwyn Hewitt r~quested Council to consider providing some
financ i al assistance to the Arapahoe Philharmonic, as they have in the past .
He noted that the City of Englewood does not have a representative on the

Inappropriate.

Commissioners regarding this lack of representation.

(g) Marge Hoelter spoke concerning the cuts in the Police and Fire

the pulse of the people out there, we really voted for you in good faith, and
we would like for you to listen to us and please represent us.• Ms . Hoelter
also criticized the spending of money for redecorating, etc.
Discussion ensued; Ms . Hoelter was assured her statements would be cons i dered.
(h) Randy Pickrel objected to an article which appeared in the
Sentinel regarding firefighters using personal leave to drop manning levels to
a dangerous and critical level i n order to make a political statement. Hr.
Pickrel explained that firefighters will work out a shift -swap rather than use
personal leave in order to keep units open. He stated that we need increased
manpower and a ladder truck . He took issue with statements made by Hr.
Clayton which Mr . Pickrel felt were incori ·~ct and out of context.
