PUBLIC SAFETY -Alderman Beauvais, Chair
Assistant to the City Manager Palm reviewed his memo of
May 6, 2005, regarding the RFPs that were received f o r
a fire station location/resource deployment study; t he
Staff is recommending the firm of Emergency Servi ces
Consulting, Inc.
Alderman Murphy stated that she would support the
Staff's recommendation if ECSI's proposal would be added
as an exhibit to the contract.
Alderman Brookman stated that overall she is very
supportive of this study; the consultant appears to be
qualified and should submit a good report; but an
elected official should be involved with the process; we
should have substantive input after the draft report is
received.
Mr. Phil Kouwe, Vice President/Project Manager for ESCI,
addressed the Committee of the Whole and answered
questions from the aldermen; there will be one (1) focus
meeting and one (1) public meeting.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Cammi ttee of the Whole stating that he is concerned
about having only one ( 1) public meeting; he thinks
there should be at least two (2) meetings with the focus
group.
Mr. Ronald Moore, 1480 Jefferson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that hiring a consultant
is good but we have to take his direction; he hopes the
City doesn't just take the focus group's opinion; you
are paying him to use his experience.
Mrs. Renee Ekman, 1101 Prospect Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole asking if ESCI can or will remain
totally fair and objective; will you feel pressured to
use the land at Lee Street and Prospect Avenue?
Mr. Kouwe stated that it is not unusual for them to come
into a community that already owns the property;
sometimes they fit in and sometimes they don't; we
project data, numbers and projection data.
Alderman Murphy asked if ESCI would consider having two
(2) focus groups; what would be the increase in cost, if
any?
Mr. Kouwe stated that they could work out an additional
meeting; the cost would not be significant.
Motion by Alderman Brookman to retain Emergency Services
Consulting, Inc., to provide a fire station
location/resource deployment study but restore an
additional public meeting, DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Christiansen, to concur
with Staff recommendation and recommend to the City
Council that the City retain Emergency Services
Consulting, Inc., 25200 SW Parkway Avenue, Suite 3,
Wilsonville, OR 97070, to provide a Fire Station
Location and Resource Deployment Study at a cost to be
determined; and further recommend that ESCI's proposal
be added to the contract as Exhibit A; increase the
number of focus group meetings to two (2); and Staff be
authorized to prepared necessary documents.
Substitute motion by Alderman Brookman to retain ESCI
but add that there be two (2) representatives from each
Ward on the focus group, FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
