At the Jan. 11, meeting The Final Report was presented and provided Council five options for consideration, he said.
Council decided to table a decision to the January 25, 2016 regular meeting of Council.
鈥淎fter Council received the Final Report, the President of the IAFF Local 1527 - Mr. Neal Matechuk, who requested to speak to Council was invited to do so. In his speech to Council, Mr. Matechuk invited City Administration to meet with the IAFF Local 1527 to try and come up with an 鈥淥ption 6鈥� for consideration.
