Just read a comment that the Town Manager said there were 5 Fire Marshalls living here that contracted out to do inspections in other towns.
Maybe she would give us the names and we could check them out. Like thier education, experience and certifications. How much they are paid. However I don't think a Fire marshall postion is a part time job.
His job isn't only to do inspections. The one we have isn't allowed to do his job. Think what would happen with one that didn't have the full time job and didn't really care what happens.
Check out what happened when the ammunition place was being built.
Glad I don't have a business or home near it.
Maybe Debra would like to give the names to the newspaper of the fire marshalls living here so thier certifications, education and experience could be checked out.
Don Evans,
Was reading back thru the posts and something in one of yours caught my eyes.
"UNLESS no contracted ambulance /paramedics are available to respond to a called for medical reason."
Who are the ambulance companies contracted with, and are they paid for just sitting around waiting to chase the fire trucks and paramedics we have and are paying?
If the town has a contract with them we are really being over charged for the calls they make.
Why should the town have a contract with them? It isn't the towns responsibilty to get people to a medical facility. The town pays them and then the ambulance co. bills the person they transport. Is that right?
Insurance billed $1800. to transport a student from the HS to the hospital for a pain in thier side?
Bernice,
PSWID want to play like the big boys. SRP, APS, City of Mesa Utilities and others.
Haven't you noticed on your utility bills an amount to pay extra to help people who can't pay?
Call me scrooge but I have never paid it.
I want to know where my charitable money goes.
Do the people on the board get paid?
Recall them before they get your taxes so high you all lose your homes because you can't pay them. It is automaticaly put on there and there is nothing you can do about it. I don't think the county should be a collection agency for them but thats the way it is. Look at your tax notice and see how many things you are already paying for that you probably had no say about.
Schools, libraries, fire districts and I can't remember all off the top of my head.
I think it should be voted on by home owners not 5 or 7 people who sit on a board.
What makes them so smart? Do they all run a succesful business or have they ever?
Hope this make some sense. I haven't had my 2nd cup of coffee yet.
There was no apt. or man that died in the attic. The building now is so far from the original they should rename it and forget about trying to make people think it is haunted.
Robbin,
With out a paramedic you might as well drive them to the hospital your self. A paramedic has had a lot more training and can do things for a sick or injured person than a EMT or LPN or whatever it is the ambulance has in there. Why pay $3000 or $4000 for a trip in a rough riding ambulance tied down and a rude driver that won't slow down when asked to. Have you ever ridden in one of the ambulances up here?
Don,
Mr. Walker runs the Town of Payson water co. He is not to be questioned.
Send the council an e-mail and ask them about the contract.
Seems they should know.
Back to the curfew.
Most of the town's ordinances are out of date and not enforced. Any enforcement is complaint driven. You know, turn neighbor against neighbor. Then the problem gets bigger and bigger until someone goes to jail for assault.
