' ROLL CALL
PRESENT: Councilmen Highland, Nelson, Stover and Mayor Wilkins
ABSENT: Councilman Mackey
Mayor Wilkins noted that the meeting was for the Council and
Atascadero Fire Board to discuss the status of the Fire Department's
transition to the City, the Fire Department budget, and the Public
Safety Committee's report. Fire Board members Mike Cox, Russ Wright,
John Cole and Lloyd Degnan were present; Joe Rinehart was absent.
' The meeting consisted of general discussion between the Council
and Fire Board regarding "consolidation" of the fire and police
departments into a public safety department. It was stressed by
Council that it was not their intention to have a fully integrated
department and present firefighters will not be expected to train
' as police officers; nor will their current status as firefighters
be changed.
No action was taken at the meeting, however, Council decided
' that the Police and Fire Chiefs along with the City Manager would
work together to further explore the problem and to arrive at con-
crete suggestions and evaluations.
The meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
