Subject: City/ County Fire Rescue and MSTU
CRA Board Members,
The City Commission held a special meeting last night to discuss the possible merger between the City and County Fire Rescue. The vote last night, 5-0, was in favor of exempting the PB Fire Rescue MSTU from payment of TIF funds to the CRA. This was the first step in working towards an agreement which should be hammered out by Tuesday when the Commission will learn about some additional concessions that are promised from the union. These concessions could potentially decrease the significant impact on the CRA.
Once an agenda for Tuesday’s meeting is released, I will send it to you. I urge you all to attend, as any agreement will have a significant impact on the CRA and our ability to attract investment, provide for programs, continue capital improvements and be successful in our efforts to revitalize the western neighborhoods.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
