Good Morning Mr. Harry Tax,

I invite you to the town hall meetings and Strategic Planning session to share your thoughts and recommendations on the Fire District’s current service levels / recommendations to increase service levels.

The community is calling for, and studies show, that Fire & Rescue service levels need to increase within ECCFPDs jurisdiction.

The District is deloping a Strategic plan that will be implemented (when /if) the District receives additional revenue.

In addition, the District is also exploring all finically and legal options to increase revenue into the District (not just a tax measure). All of these revenue enhancing options will be discussed / worked through as we work through the Strategic Planning Process (June-December 2018).

The only way ECCFPD can increase service levels beyond the three station model we are today is with more revenue.

If you would like, I welcome you to meet with me one on one to share your concerns, and or, get insight about ECCFPDs history, finances, past initiatives, current service levels and initiatives.

The District will need the support from the ones we serve to increase service levels.
Please stay involved and learn about how critical Fire & Rescue service are ECCFPDs area.

Sincerely,

Brian Helmick

If possible, can one of the series be televised or recorded? I work swings on all those days.

Good Afternoon Oakley Resident.,

Good recommendation. Televised is not an option at this point but I will look into having it recorded and placed on the Districts website for those that are not able to attend.

Thank you for this good recommendation and have a safe day.

Sincerely,

Brian Helmick
Fire Chief
