D. CITIZEN COMMENTS 



Deb Pellgri - with a reminder on papers for election can still be taken out by Fri 9/16 and returned by Monday, 9/19


Bob Donavan - citizens comment added during the middle of the appointments. Raising the issue with the fire dept budget cuts, the ambulance previously placed at Station 2 is now running from downtown and increasing response times, no hiring in last five years, a five doubles every thirty seconds, without proper manpower the fire can quickly get out of hand. 44% of the time one ambulance goes out, the second one will go out. With only 9 to staff, it is getting difficult. Basic point, it is a struggle. Thanks for allowing me to make this point.
