Resolution 05-2005 was introduced by Mr. Gokey. City Clerk Pam Anderson read the executive summary, the statement of the issues and the Councilor Gokey memorandum, dated January 20, 2005. Motion by Mr. Gokey to approve Resolution 05-2005 Amending the Fiscal Year 2005 Budget to reflect the approval of a Supplemental Budget Appropriation of $1,200.00 for the Purchase of Wheat Ridge Recreation Center Punch Cards for the Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District; seconded by Mr. DiTullio. Alternate Motion by Mrs. Sang to postpone consideration of Resolution 05-2005 to allow for a more extensive discussion at the joint meeting on February 7, between City Council and the Wheat Ridge Fire District; seconded by Mrs. Rotola. Jim Payne, Chief of the Wheat Ridge Fire District, stated that the Fire Board is supportive of the punch cards. The Resolution should read the "Wheat Ridge Fire Department", not the "Wheat Ridge Fire District", since the punch cards would be for the volunteers rather than the district. This is a benefit for the volunteers, not the paid staff. The punch cards would serve as an incentive for the volunteers. Mrs. Sang brought this forward because she has never met Chief Payne, she is not sure who is on the Fire Board. She would like the opportunity to sit down with these people to find out what their goals are, what this will do for them. This doesn't mean the original motion won't be brought back at a later time. Alternate motion carried 5-3 with Councilmembers Stites, DiTullio, and Gokey voting no. Mr. DiTullio sees no reason why this can't be passed tonight and needs further discussion. The Fire Chief was very clear what this will accomplish. Mr. Gokey sees no reason to postpone, the concerns were covered. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: January 24, 2005 Page 4 Item 4.
