~4 <br />-6- <br />Mr. Bennett stated that the Mayor was not interrupted and he did <br />not want to be. First of all, the three page memo the Mayor read <br />was half-truths and not real facts. The additional man and equip- <br />ment were both appropriated in the budget and were not taken from <br />any other department. In speaking from past experience as Mayor ~~~~~ ~~'`, <br />and Council member, why all of a sudden do we need 24 hour dis- <br />patching, many communities comparable to our size do not have open <br />door policy. If dispatching was so important why did we remove <br />someone from this position and make her a secretary. Also, High- <br />land Hgts. has nine full time firemen and a Chief. <br />would be detrimental to the Village in that it would leave us with <br />no one on duty. <br />Mr. Flynn said that the equipment displayed in the parking lot re- <br />quires at least five men to man each piece. <br />Mr. Schulte wished to advise that in voting for the entire ordi~= <br />nance does not mean that you must vote for all line items when pre- <br />sented to Council. <br />Roll Call: AYES:.

However; Mr. Bennett stated that the Van <br />has 1200 hours registered. <br />Mr. Relic asked if record kept is actual 1200 hours? <br />Chief Hejcl replied it is estimated time. <br />Mr. Buses said that the Van is rusted out and is a converted bakery <br />truck. <br />Mr. Barclay said that in a report made by the Fire Chief in 1974, <br />he listed this Van as in good condition, how can it get so bad in <br />such a short time? <br /> <br />i~] <br />Mr. Flynn said that the Fire Dept. cannot touch the police ambu- <br />
