West Side Fire Station

Expressed support for funding the west side fire station through a general obligation bond due to increasing construction costs and west side growth, and offered assistance with public outreach.

Highlighted the mental health and moral injury impacts on first responders when delayed response times prevent life-saving assistance, urging support for the west side station.

Asked detailed questions about population impact, ballot language specifics, whether the location is final, staged construction alternatives, and requested public open houses.

Encouraged the council to make the decision on the fire station themselves rather than putting it to a vote, citing safety and liability concerns.
