it is the recommendation of this
Committee to terminate the Central Park

of such termination shall be given. It
is further recommended that the Central
Park Pool be operated by the City Parks and
Recreation Division which will make the
pool available to community organizations

Oral Report by Fire Chief Needham
regarding City/County Fire Protection.
Chief Needham gave an oral report regarding the
City/County ~ire protection. Chief Needham read the following
memorandum:
Chief McCarthy reported to the Board of
Supervisors on March 15 that due to the current
funding problem some County fire stations will
not be manned for short periods of time when
manpower is not available.
Several County fire stations will be affected
which are within the JPA area and the period of
times would be intermitten. He explained three
levels of manning. Level 1 manning - down 8
personnel; Level 2 manning - down five more;
Level 3 manning - down 15 and leaving stations
vacant or with a lower level of manning.
The City and County fire departments work as a
team. The Joint Powers Agreement was based on
three factors that have brought us closer
together in this community. The most important
factor is the closest company responds. This is
the best deal we can give our citizens and we are
proud to say that we have dealt with the
territorial issues. The second factor is to
combine training. The City and County have
constructed a very fine joint training facility
on Olive Drive and training activities are

on-going. The third factor is combined
communications. This was accomplished during
1987 and is presently working very well.
With this tremendous success there is commitment
on behalf of the City and County, and the members
of both organizations need each other's support.
Our intent is to do just that; to help our friends
and team members. Our motto is "we care" and we
live up to our commitment.
Chief Needham stated that the County is currently having
difficulties in their funding process, which is not having a
negative effect on his department. The City is going to continue
to support the JPA and make it work. He does not see any
problems.
