Quick context to catch up fast.
The committee voted 2-0-0 to recommend that the City Council create Fire Marshal inspection fees and a special revenue fund for those fees. The proposed fund could help offset future firefighter costs, including up to three positions that could reach active duty in June or July 2027 if the Safer Grant is used.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The committee did not establish the fees or fund; it recommended that the City Council create them. Revenue from inspections could help pay for additional fire personnel and reduce the amount charged to taxpayers in future budgets. Possible interim steps—hiring one firefighter or increasing minimum staffing from four to five using overtime—were deferred to a future meeting.
