I want to ask our city councilors:

IS THERE AN OVERWHELMING CRY FROM RESIDENTS THAT THEY need MORE HYDRANTS AND A WATER TRUCK in the interim. Can the city please serve the needs actually requested from concerned residents.

From where I stand, it looks like a self-serving exercise for safety personnel. I have a simple request, quit drumming up new ways to spend monies for more equipment and more infrastructure. How about we bring existing roads (i.e. road to Goodland) that need attention and have residents requesting specific actions be taken. In fact, they spent time and monies for a shovel ready project. This item would have a much higher impact on safety especially during flooding.

I could list at least 20 items that need to be addressed that would be of greater importance than fire hydrants. If you want the list, simply play back the city council meetings and listen to the public comments of the last 6 months.
