II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Fire Department Master Plan
Today's special meeting of the Finance and Safety Committee is to serve primarily as a workshop for
Committee members to discuss, in detail, the Fire Master Plan's recommendations and Administration's
responses to those recommendations.
Exhibit B: Administration Responses to Fire Plan Recommendations and Exhibit C: Worksheet for
Administration Responses on Fire lv/aster Plan Recommendations were reviewed extensively. Both
exhibits were originally created in mid-August. Since that time, as the budget process has begun, and
during the budget process, Administration has made some changes to their responses as reflected in the
agenda packet. Staff reviewed these changes in the current exhibits which will be updated prior to going
forward to full Council.
Committee members, again, expressed their desire to begin review of the preliminary Budget and
Financial Planning Model prior to adopting the Fire Master Plan. However, due to the complexity and
detail of the Plan, the Committee would like to begin discussion of the Plan with full Council on October
13,2008, without a recommendation for action.
Staff will ultimately seek Council approval of an ordinance which adopts the Fire Master Plan as well as
Administration's responses to the Plan's recommendations, and establishes a level of service goal for fire
services. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Capital Facilities Element
Meeting ended prior to having time to discuss this issue. Please review the Community Affairs and Parks
minutes from September 22,2008, in which the same item is addressed. INFORMATION ONLY.
