City administrator announces citizen survey, delayed fire apparatus deliveries and proposed EMS fee
Summary
Papillion's administrator reported a citywide citizen survey being mailed to 3,000 residents, delays to fire engine and medic unit deliveries, progress on a new fire training center and a recommendation to consider a limited EMS fee at the March 4 FNA committee meeting.
Papillion's city administrator reported that a national citizen survey began mailing to 3,000 randomly selected city residents and that an open participation period will begin on March 17 for residents who did not receive postcards.
The administrator also updated the council on fire department equipment and facilities: Fire Engine 5 has been ordered but delivery is delayed to late 2025 or early 2026 because of chassis issues; Medic Unit 3 delivery is anticipated in 2026; and the new fire training center at the public works site is expected to be completed in spring when ground and footing work can proceed.
A recommendation from the MFO (fire operations group) to begin collecting a new EMS fee on a limited basis was reported; that recommendation will go to the Finance, Administration and (FNA) committee for consideration with the next master fee schedule amendment. The FNA committee meeting was noted for March 4.
The administrator also thanked city employees, public works crews and first responders for work during recent winter weather, and said city leaders attending the Nebraska League conference in Lincoln would be available but less responsive while away.
Direct quote from the administrator in the meeting transcript: "Survey started going out today to 3,000 randomly selected in town city residents."
