ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
The only comment | have and | am in favor of this is that we even have to be doing this at all. It’s a constant
source of aggravation that the wet weather facility, with all of the money that we paid, does not operate
properly, it’s ridiculous.

DISCUSSION
Alderman O’Brien
| would like to thank my colleagues, | thought that was a very good discussion on the fire department but |
would like to get the information that was alluded to. | did work a shift one night and when | got up to make
coffee for the crew there was a gentleman having coffee with me. Thank God he was a nice gentleman and
we got him to a proper shelter. It does happen and | am extremely concerned. We do have female employees
and we should really take that into consideration. | am sure my fire guys can take care of themselves but if
they go out on a call the doors go up and you don’t know what comes in. The secretaries in the office have no
way to monitor the apparatus floor and if anyone was coming in. This is something that we have to deal with in
2017. It’s not even in relation to the Safe Stations; it is just general common sense to secure a municipal
building.
