Council invites fire/EMS consultant back after split over spending and scope
Summary
Council discussed four proposals for a fire and EMS study and heard a staff recommendation to hire Innovative Public Advisors; members were split on whether the work could be done in‑house versus hiring external experts, and the council voted to defer final approval and invite the preferred consultant to present at a future meeting.
