Councilors Call for New Community Engagement on Fire Station; Advisory Committee Proposed
Summary
Councilmember Katherine Doll Kanne acknowledged a communication failure about the fire station discussion and proposed forming an advisory task force. The council directed staff to form an advisory committee to study the fire station issue.
Councilmember Katherine Doll Kanne said the previous discussion around a potential fire station implementation did not bring the community along and recommended taking a step back. She proposed creating a task force that would include businesses, petition organizers and other stakeholders to redesign the engagement process before advancing significant debt or a final plan.
Councilmember Erik Goebel concurred with Doll Kanne’s approach. Later in the meeting the council directed staff to form an advisory committee to study the fire station issue and return recommendations to council. No specific timeline or membership roster was adopted at the July 21 meeting.
