The committee recommended creating inspection fees, but the fees are not in effect unless the City Council later approves an ordinance. The mayor has committed to including funding for three additional firefighters in the upcoming budget, assuming a SAFER grant is approved. The committee plans to hold broader City Council discussions about staffing levels, implementation, costs, and public input.
