One of Council's goals is to put more <br /> emphasis on recreation, especially youth recreation. This emphasis is tied to <br /> their goal on crime prevention because it provides a healty alternative for <br /> youth and adult activities. This type of activity in parks also keeps the <br /> parks safer for all users. <br /> Fire redeployment involves constructing new fire stations so that we can meet <br /> a four minute response time for fire and ambulance calls. This is a several <br /> million dollar project. Council has decided to address funding for <br /> fire redeployment, a new library, low- income housing, and parkland <br /> acquisition after they find a way to fund core services in the general <br /> fund. Council will be meeting in October and November to discussing ways of <br /> funding the general fund deficit for core services. The FY95 general fund <br /> deficit is forecasted to be between $3M and $5M. <br /> (Call if you have questions, and good luck at your meeting tomorrow night.) <br /> Linda <br /> Page 1 <br />
