Summary
Fire Chief Robrahn presented the Fire Department's FY2020 CIP requests and emphasized goals including a new fire station, emergency responder housing, ongoing interoperability training, and pay-per-call retention and development.
Fire Chief Robrahn reviewed the Fire Department's budget requests and highlighted short-, mid- and long-term goals. He emphasized training and education, interoperability exercises with the Police Department, and retention efforts for paid-on-call staff. The chief identified a potential long-term need for a new fire station and emergency responder housing as staffing and operational goals.
