Nine days left to organize a massive turnout
November 23rd, 2003 by Ted
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.
