fw� 77 <br /> ern e' If If, ;, a r <br /> Its t If t <br /> 17, <br /> services are unlike zoning requirements or beach erosion, these are immediate life <br /> safety problems that must be addressed quickly while yet trying to remain <br /> financial responsibility . <br /> Let your staff do their jobs that we as taxpayers pay them to do . Don 't decide <br /> operations up on the dais . Respectfullv Commissioner, the Director of Emereencv <br /> Services and the Fire Chief, know better than you what size hose we need to fight <br /> a fire or how best to get medical care to those in need, and how to get them to the <br /> hospital . <br /> I have been a Firefighter for 21 years and have always remained upbeat and always try to <br /> make the best out of a bad situation, that is what firefighters are trained to do But now the <br /> situation is critical, and without you help this train is going to wreck. Firefighters never <br /> ask for help but now I need yours. If we can just move this whole issue off center, and in <br /> aositive direction,p rectio then I feel ee 1 the pieces of the puzzle will all fall into place. <br /> I would be happy to address you publicly or privately with regards to these matters . I <br /> would also request to speak before the Board of Commissioners at your next scheduled <br /> meeting. <br /> Should you have any questions please don ' t hesitate to call me. <br /> e ly, <br /> Jo <br /> Fire Lieutenant Joe Earman , residing at 4375 9 `h Lane , with a business at 1882 Old <br /> Dixie Highway, spoke as a private citizen . He emphasized that if the County is able to deal <br /> with the Dodgertown and Lost Tree Island issues , it is certainly capable of dealing with this <br /> issue . He noted that there are capable citizens who are willing to serve on the Emergency <br /> Services Advisory Committee , who should be utilized to enable some sort of reasonable <br /> compromise to be reached . There are a lot of personal feelings involved in this issue and <br /> he recommended that the Board reactivate the Committee and allow it to make <br /> recommendations for a solution . He also recommended that staff be allowed to do their jobs <br /> and bring recommendations to the Board . He emphasized that he is directly referring to <br /> delivery of services to the citizens of the County . <br /> NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN . <br /> JULY 312001 BK 1 8 PG 7 7 3 <br /> - 74 - <br />
