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.

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.
