HomeMy WebLinkAboutmin 10-22-85The City Council meeting reconvened at %:00 p.m. with previous Council and
staff present to include City Manager Payne and Fire Chief Mitchell. The
meeting is a continuation of the Fire District Study Session of
October 16, 1985.
2f. Matter of Medical Service
The City Manager stated that it is a policy-making decision on the Fire
District's part if they do not wish the Fire Department to respond to medical
aid calls in the Fire District area.
The Fire District stated that their number one requirement is to provide fire
protection and they can't afford the cost of providing medical aid calls.
The Fire Chief reported that the Fire Department has been directed to respond
to all calls which may be a threat to life and/or limb.
The Fire District stated that if the Fire Department would screen calls maybe
the percent of calls acted upon could be reduced thus a less percent the Fire
District would have to pay.
The City Manager stated that screening calls could bring up a question of
liability and further if the Fire District was going to decide not to provide
for medical aid, they would need to check into some liability insurance of
their own. If that was their wishes to let staff know well in advance in
order that we could get the insurance information for them.
Councilmember Kier stated he would like to see medical aid service questioned
during budget hearings and the possibility of a fee being charged above the
tax supported level.
2g. Matter of Mutual Aid
The Fire District stated that their concern in this area is that when the Fire
Department responds to O.E.S. calls our first line officers leave and the City
and the Fire District are left with no first line officers.
There was discussion on the procedure followed in responding to O.E.S. calls,
who is responsible for local emergencies when first line officers are called
to outside areas, and who is responsible to local areas not in the City's or
the Fire District's jurisdiction.
Mayor Myers summarized the two meetings' agendas. Item 2a. Matter of water
tie-ins will be studied by staff and will be brought back to the Council for
further discussion. Item 2b. Matter of late budget charges of 1984-85 was
reviewed and for future budget needs there will be joint yearly meetings and
continued communications throughout the year. Items 2c and 2d. The old and
new contracts, item number 13, the land at Station ~_2, will be reviewed
further but Council does not wish to add or change anymore of the existing
contract. Item 2e. The City to present to the Fire District a firm fire
service amount; the Board will receive by November 30 the best estimated
upcoming budget for fire service from the City. Between November 30 and May
there will be continued communications from staff to present them with the
latest estimated budget. Item 2f. Matter of medical service was that the
level of service to be decided by both parties, more training on when to roll
on calls; but both parties should check into their general liability and, at
budget hearing times, the possibility of a fee being charged above the tax
supported level.

major portion of the building.

Mr. Lopes updated the Council on the progress of the demolition. He stated
that Mr. Crane would like to save as much of the structure as possible. There
was considerable discussion on how these changes would have an effect on Mr.
Lopes' plans, engineering the changes, costs of saving a wall versus the cost
of building a new one, and how all this would affect the original bids by Mr.
Lopes and Mr. Crane.
Council asked Mr. Lopes to prepare a change order on the price differential to
both parties on changing the demolition plans. Mr. Lopes stated he could have
that for Council in a week.
Mr. Lopes noted he will have the project sign painted soon and put up.

from the community regarding the use of the classrooms for meetings.
Mr. Lopes discussed moving the buildings on to the Sun House location for use
as a cultural facility.
It was noted by Councilmember Henderson and Mr. Lopes that the School District
has expressed some interest in the classrooms. They have stated that they
could finish the exterior of the building to match the design of the new Civic
