She asked for budget ' priorities for 1975 t o be for the Fire Department in order to make enough men ava i la ble t o help fight fires.

She felt that there should be a smoke and fire detection system in these buildings. She asked for solutions to problems to be worked out by the City Council. She stated that she had faith in the affirmative action of the Council, and not merely word answers. Councilman Brown stated that he appreciated the report, and shared Mrs. Arthur's frustrations. He felt that the City had raised the equipment and fire station capabilities of the Fire Department in the last five years significantly. Mrs. Arthur stated that the money was spent on equipment and stations, when it should have been directed in the manpower area. Councilman Blessing stated that the City Council listened to the Fire Chief and his recommendations in this area. He stated that the Council did care about the situation and would look further into it. Councilman Clayton inquired as to whether Mrs. Arthur was unhappy with the mutual aid agreements. Mrs. Arthur replied in the negative, stating that she only felt they should be aware that the mutual aid usually takes approximately 10 minutes for the response from neighboring stations. Councilman Clayton gave a brief description of the fire district ratings for insurance purposes, and stated that decreased insurance rates would not pay for the added taxes necessary to put on additional manpower. It was necessary to look at this increase in manpower from a humanitarian point of view rather than a cost savings point of view. Assistant City Manager Mccown stated that he felt the answers he had given Mrs. Arthur last week were to the point. He outlined the budget procedure to the audience for their knowledge. He stated that the re never had been the intention of adding additional firemen for the fourth station, which was opening soon. He felt that additional volunteer firemen were a necessary component of a firefighting situation, since money was not available totally to hire as many uniformed firefighters as any group felt necessary. Chief Hamilton stated that the City had adopted the Uniform Building Code and since the building of Lotus Gardens Apartments additional safety factors had been added to that Code. The Lotus Gardens would require more sprinkling if it had been built in 1974. Mayor Taylor inquired as to the number of fire alarms in the building. Chief Hamilton stated that the fire alarms were the owners' prerogative. The fire department generally asks the owners to put these in as a fringe benefit for their occupants. Meeting of August 19, 1974 4 Councilman Clayton inquired as to how the Englewood building code compa red with other cities. Chief Hamilton stated that it was probably better than the average. Mayor Taylor s t ated that attention would be given to this subject by the Council in the future. * * * * * Mr. Clifford Selby, Englewood Fire Department, and representing the Englewood Firefighters Association, was present to discuss the recent ruling of the Career Service Board and the impasse hearing between the Association and the City. Mr. Selby stated that he was a negotiator for Local No. 1786 of the Englewood Firefighters. He asked the Council to use their influence to get the Career Service Board to meet and clarify the decision which they made last month. On July 25th, the City negotiators, the firefighter negotiators, and the Career Service Board had met, and the Career Service Board had rendered a decision five da ys later regarding the impasse situation. He read the ruling aloud to the Council. He questioned whether the facts were even investigated in this matter. The firefighters had asked for clarification on the Career Service Board ruling on August 5th, and the Career Service Board had replied that there would be no further clarification on August 6th. Mr. Selby pointed out a case in the transcript in which he felt an error in fact had in actuality occurred and two Denver negotiators for the Denver firefighters backed up that opinion. City Attorney Berardini inquired of Mr. Selby whether he was asking the Council to force action on the Career Service Board. Mr. Selby replied in th e affirmative, stating that the firefighters would like to see the outcome of the facts. City Attorney Berardini stated that the Council was bound by the Charter and the ordinances also, and the Career Service · plays an administrative function in this regard. The only possibility at this point of the game that he could foresee was an election to the people. He felt that the machinery was set up for an impasse to go to Career Service and then on to the polls. He questioned that the City Council was the place to look for relief on this particular matter at this time . * * * * * COUNCILMAN MANN MOVED AND COUNCILMAN BROWN SECONDED A MOTION TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST OF A TRANSFER OF A LIQUOR LICENSE FOR THE EAGLES LODGE NO. 3241, FROM 73 WEST FLOYD TO 3384 SOUTH BROADWAY.
