station first and monitor the calls before the City Hall fire station is moved to the northeast
quadrant of the City.
Fire Chief William Bingham stated that the relocation of fire Station #! was 3 to 4 years down
the road after fire responses have been evaluated.
Commissioner Ferguson asked how much money was needed for next year's assessment.
MaYor Broening 'explained that this would be on an upcoming agenda because the Commission
must re-approve a specific assessment and the rate annually. There will be meetings with the
City's consultants before the Special meeting on September 12t~ when the new rates are set.
Commissioner Ferguson asked whether the Commission could change the method of
assessment and perhaps charge everyone the same rate. He was told that the methodology
could be looked at and changed as long as there is case law to support it.
