Mayor Taylor commented that an item dealing primarily with the Fire Departments was requested to be placed on the Agenda. With the possibility of both Fire Stations in the City of Rosemead may be closed down, he requested input from the Councils.and;the City Manager of what alternatives the City has, and what guarantees the County is going to provide the City for Fire protection. F.r.ank G•.•Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the City with Council's approval will take this avenue--the citizens are•,in the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Rosemead, theista- tion, the equipment has been paid for and does not belong to the County. If the stations are closed, the equipment and the facilities should remain and the City would be faced with the staffing,of those particular stations. He also stated at the present time there are a number of bills being presented includ- ing SB-154 which is dealing with appropriation of State surplus funds. Bob Sarno, Fire Chief, stated that he hoped that funding would be received from either the State or the County to prevent proposition #13 impact on the Fire Department. Board of Super- visors have assured us that they would be funded, but how much is not known. Sacramento has claimed that 857o would be returned to the District and both stations would be able to provide fire protection. to the City of Rosemead, but right now there has been given an ultimatum to work within $17,000,000. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, asked if the City could contract for the manning of the facilities. Chief Sarno answered affirmatively.
