E.S.D. 1
Chairman Wheeler favored Option 2 because it would allow for a split between
personnel and capital. He also liked the idea that this option would allow a phase-in period for
hiring additional employees.
There was a brief discussion regarding the different options and alternatives.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Chairman Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
Option 2, to increase Emergency Operations staff by seven
(7) personnel for the last six (6) months of the fiscal year, as
recommended in the memorandum of September 26, 2007.
