CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - June 3, 1981 <br />kw F. GENERAL ORDERS AND UNFINISHED BUSS SS: <br />1. Discussion of newly -created Public Safety Department and the effective <br />date for its activation. <br />4W <br />Proft requested this item be placed on the agenda to give the public the <br />opportunity to address the issue if they so desired. <br />The following addressed the Council and expressed their serious concerns regarding <br />the matter of a public safety department. They particularly questioned the <br />timing and felt that enough time had not been allowed to provide an effective <br />department. They also questioned the ability to get qualified personnel for the <br />department in that it was an extremely expensive area and other cities were <br />having difficulty filling posts. Furthermore, they felt that a thorough analysis <br />was needed regarding possible increase in fire insurance, cost figures for the <br />next five years and procedures for setting up such a department. This informa- <br />tion should be made available to the public. <br />The City Manager noted that he was preparing a report on the proposed public, <br />safety department which would include the procedures and an outline of steps <br />which needed to be taken. The report would be presented to Council for their <br />study and consideration. <br />G.
