Nine days left to organize a massive turnout
Yesterday, the Point's city councilman Tom Butt asked the city clerk to put closing of the fire station on the December 2 agenda. That leaves nine days for the Point Richmond Neighborhood Council to organize a mass showing. Are you nervous?
In Butt's memo he asks the logical questions--why is it closing?, when?, what alternatives were considered?, what's the cost of the rest of the fiscal year? how does this effect emergencies at Chevron, etc?--and ends with a glimpse of the fun inside Richmond politics.
Please do not let anyone dissuade you from placing this on the agenda. If anyone has a problem with it, refer them to me, but do not take anyone else’s word that I have agreed to withdraw, change or postpone it – or move it to the executive session agenda.
He provided Point Richmond Online with an explanation from the fire chief and the city manager of the decision to close the station. I suppose it will appear soon.
