§ 421.102. Findings.

The need to safeguard life and property and sound fiscal planning require that the fire and rescue facilities of the City be independently studied and evaluated at least every five years. To achieve this objective, the Council finds that an independent fire and rescue capital study should be undertaken every five years. The Council also finds that a fire and rescue capital program is basic and necessary for the public safety in the county. The program should specifically identify the siting of new fire and rescue stations, major renovations of existing stations and equipment purchases which are proposed over a five-year period so that the public will know the future plans of the Fire Department and the City as it relates to these very important public safety issues.
