Mr. Murphy are your requesting this refurbishment and additional equipment and manpower from the county and job promotions of existing city fire fighters as a NEED or a WANT?

And to the county why not place the EMT accouterments in a location that the county deems as a need, and quit trying to dupe Marco Island Council into another leverage scheme.

So let me understand this new scenario. If you move personnel a mile down the road to handle the same equipment they become more responsible? Why? It must be a union work rule that other city employees do not have.

Under this scenario I suggest we do not move any city employees to other locations. And if Mr. Murphy keeps insisting that other communities are spending too much time in Marco Island then I suggest you must be remiss in your use of county roads to bring folks to the hospital for treatment in Collier County as you drive pass Isles of Capri and East Naples.

This smacks of empire building, it is so obvious that you do not wish to be a team player with outlying communities. So much for the mutual aid philosophy.
