Addressing the
John Lyons, 11984 Dorset, stated he felt the present paramedic program was
adequate and at no cost to the taxpayers, and felt the Board should not
change the current system, especially after failing at the polls in 1989.
Paul Wither, 7505 Pasito Avenue, strongly felt there should be a paramedic
program in the Fire Department within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. He
felt what was existing was not adequate. He felt this did not previously
pass with the voters because of public ignorance.
Ray Stuehrman, 12440 Lily Court, stated he hoped this matter would go to
a vote of the people again because he felt it would pass this time.

on this matter at this time because it had recently failed at the polls.

opportunity to study this matter again for any new information that might be
available.
Boardmember Buquet stated he was not opposed to this, but felt the Board should
remember that the community voted this down not too long ago.
Boardmember Wright stated she hoped the Public Safety Commission could come up
with new information on this issue to present to the Fire Board, but if there was
not, then the Board could turn the matter down.
Boardmember Williams stated she did not have a problem with this subject being
studied.
Vice-President Alexander stated he would be in favor of the study, but did not
want it to be a costly study. He felt if the Public Safety Commission could come
up with new information, then he might go along with it.

this matter.

considerations.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated he understood what Boardmember Buquet was
