to the station being manned part-time and also options including full-time staffing at the station.

respond immediately.

per week person for the Kings Ridge Fire Station for nine months of the upcoming fiscal year.
Additional dollars should also be budgeted to fund a volunteer to be assigned to the station at the
times that the full-time person would not be on duty.

noted changes in the proposed budget.

provide some proposals, including budgets to Minneola. A handout was provided to the City
Council with several options. It was consensus to provide Option D as a proposal to the City of
Minneola. Chief Bishop and Fire Marshall Anderson left the meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m.
