If you watch the CC meeting when the new DuPont Fire Chief was introduced, He said that he will have DuPont Fire regionalize in three years.

Our problem is that our neighbor is Steilacoom and they cling to their public safety model. Of course, they are built out, they have no real industry so most of their calls are to houses and cars. I can’t see DuPont trying to enter much of an agreement with them and if Lakewood does merge with UP then they probably will stop at that district.

Concerned,
LWFD is like the Borg, their mission in life is to create more Borg. They will come back for more.

From what I see, it is inevitable with Penny and Tamara inside City Hall. They are pro fire union, and the fire union wants the mergers to happen, pay increases are a result.

It seems that Lakewood is shopping the surrounding area for a buyer. Why are they so anxious to partner up with someone? Does that mean that DuPont is finally out?

Our Mayor’s Lakewood merger mission has died and become obsolete.

Now she faces an odd situation. How will she sell the renewal of an enhanced EMS levy now that she made the move to kill our ambulance? It appears the EMS levy tax funds from 2006 to present has been consumed by staff raises and unchecked overtime.

Next time Mayor, kill the funding for the museum and the event coordinator, maybe you’d get EMS levy support from your community.
