The problem is being fixed through fire mitigation funds which are paid by developers, not residential property taxes.

Call the comms issue what you want, it just cost us another $53K and the only people who questioned it were Marin and Trotter.

We continue to pay Merritt over $100K a year and fully pay his per diem to live at the Liberty Inn while he “builds” our fire dept.

Anyone questioning that? How about Merritt’s close relationship with McDonald from their work together in Snohomish?

Who are the sheep in this town? See them on TV once a month leading us into the future. Baaahhh, second that!

Citizens and tv land viewers lets not dwell over radio reception you get no say anyway, just be the good little sheeplep we know you can be and go along. Vote for me for more great ideas.

Since the PD switched over to 800Mhz due to LESA changing over reception really sucks. The Post Office PD wasn’t on 800Mhz thus the old antenna/repeater worked and so did at the temp PD until the change over.

Actually I recall in a previous discussion on the new facility the chief asked the questions about communicationc and the capability and asked for an antenna on the then training tower to ensure communications and fix the other dead zone on Hoffman Hill. Bill McDonald said that this would be addressed with the subcontractor handling the facility radio system and this was like a year and half ago. They also have rights to the cell tower over near Centex Homes of 50 pounds that has not been used yet. Why would they pay $54,000 when they have had solutions handed to them and suggested and now it is crisis – City Hall is a crisis

Disgusting. Merritt says we had good reception when were we stand alone, Coffey and Jenkins say we didn’t. Get your stories straight! The rest of the council is daydreaming when these discrepancies are spoken. Somebody on that council should have grilled the chief over his facts.

Way to go, Brownie. You doing a heluva job.

City Council,

Try driving the narrow streets today during the garage sale. I’m glad your thinking about our safety (Been thinking since 2006).

Streets that you cannot pass through, combined with no way to communicate. Nice work Jenkins.

What I find interesting, Marin and Trotter are asking questions about this issue, and Coffey/Jenkins already knew about it. Talk about communication issues.

Information is not power if you choose to do nothing with it.
