City Manager: b) Proposal frau los Altos Fire Protection Oamussion The City Manager reported on the proposed amendment to the agreement for fire protection services between Los Altos County Fire Protection District and the city of 1,os Altos. This amendment would add additional taxes to cover any loss of revenue due to Proposition 13. Mayor McReynolds further cminented that there were several problems with the present fire protection service: very expensive; even more expensive if taxes are increased and no choice in the kind of protection we receive.

The Mayor asked the City Manager to prepare a report for the Council comparing the alternatives, providing a cost study and presenting a proposal regarding our awn fire protection system (fire protection and police services - dual program).
