Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, May 20, 2024 <br /> Page 8 <br /> of rounds of this and maybe it is good to start having those conversations and <br /> thinking about planning for that as a part of what the City is doing now. <br /> Chief Brosnahan stated in his conversations with the City Manager, the Fire <br /> Department is leaning on more of a study since while all five current <br /> Councilmembers are warm to the idea of more firefighters, maybe not all five <br /> Councilmembers will be here next year or in two to three years from now. Staff <br /> felt that a study at least allows future councils to see that the Fire Department and <br /> staff have done the homework and have something in place that can be worked on <br /> for years in the future. <br /> Councilmember Schroder indicated short-term needs are different from long-term <br /> needs and since the Council is talking about strategic planning, the 2040 plan, and <br /> the City has done studies on all of that, short-term needs, she thought the Council <br /> does a really good job. She thought strategic planning and long-term planning in <br /> the Council needed a little help. She did like the idea of a study if the Fire <br /> Department can find someone who can do it well. She did know that some studies <br /> were not worthwhile that the City had done in the past. <br /> Mr. Trudgeon indicated staff will get some more deliverables and bring that to the <br /> Council to decide whether or not to move forward with a staffing study. <br /> 8.
