CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT FIRE DISTRICT C.E.T.A. PROGRAM EMPLOYMENT FUNDING Mr. Wurl stated that he met with the fire department to discuss the district. The fire department agrees with theplan to form a fire district. He stated that one of the things the depart- ment is working on is the boundary descrip- tion. Mr. Wurl stated that he informed the fire department that Council would take care of the costs for the change since it was their request to form the district. Councilman DelPizzo stated that he did not like the idea of turning over all the equipment and the fire hall to the depart- ment. Councilman Caranci stated that it would be cheaper to have the district because this way there would be cash flow from outside the city, through the entire district which would help defray costs of the citizens of the City. Council voiced their opinions on having the fire department go outside the City. Mr. Wurl stated that the fire department asked if the City would still turn over the property Mizel had set aside for a fire station. Mr. Wurl stated that he said that the Coun- cil probably would. There was no further discussion. Mr. Wurl stated that every year the City has applied to C.E.T.A. for funding on new employment that was budgeted for in the year. Mr. Wurl stated that the City has gotten approval for a draftsman and clerk typist; however, he would like to have Councils approval to go back to C.E.T.A. and re- quest for a draftsman and maintenance man instead of a typist. Mr. Wurl stated that these are temporary jobs, but C.E.T.A. would like to see them turn into full time jobs if possible. Mr. Wurl stated that the City could not take them full time, but would keep them through- out 1977. After discussion, Councilman DiCarlo moved that the City Administrator be authorized to proceed with the C.E.T.A. funding re- questing a draftsman and maintenance man. Seconded by Councilman McDonald. Motion carried. -7-
