PUBLIC COMMENT
Barney Barbera — 5 Birch Ridge Trail
The current personnel assigned to the Senior Activity Center have been an asset to our organization.
Their insight and diligence cannot be easily replaced. By deleting this, we can continue with our
efforts to bring our services to the many seniors of the city. This will still give the city officials the
flexibility to make appointments as needed.

Coming from the fire background, we have to wear the personal protective clothing. | think this is
highly safe. | want to protect our officers in their duty. Are they mandatory? Do they have to be worn
whenever the officer is on patrol?
